Gan San is how old? This old race legend may talk slow and seems confused when he talks but he drives the car to the limit and plow through the corners without fear!
The new GT-R represents everything wrong with the newest sports cars. Companies have focused too much on bringing more and more performance into the hands of less and less skilled drivers. They have completely forgotten the connection between car and skilled driver, and the experience of actually having control of the car at the limit in your hands and feet.
The chief engineer even told Gan San in this video some electronic variables were programmed for the "standard driver". GT-R is 4 noob
There are a lot of "standard" drivers who can afford these fast cars, and there's nothing wrong with that. And these safety features are there to 'help prevent' shit hits the fan situation. Nobody expects less from the GT-R, but a car at this caliber can kill the driver and others in the wrong hands. There's really nothing wrong to put life saving technology in the car because car companies have no control of the buyers, but at least you can turn it off.
@EnnesX i agree mate id take an r32 gtr any day ...sure it still has computer controled split 4wd but it was far more animalistic and basic and you could tune the engines to over 1000hp not to mention they look far tougher then this renualt influenced crap
If i had the money i would buy one too hehe, best value for your money.
also Japanese cars just try harder to be good then European cars (Where im from) because people "expect" European cars to be great without having to prove themselves means that now Japanese cars (in my opinion) are way better value and more trustworthy.
But i would buy the Toyota HS over this probably :P but im just a Toyota fan hehe
@escada600 The Nissan GTR isn't really a "Sports Car" It's a road legal race car. The brakes it has. Specially made oil specifically for the car. Bridgestone one off tyres that cost 5k all up for 4 tyres. It's a great car but it's not a sports car.
Ive had people complain about noisy breaks but what can you expect from floating rotors. This car has great performance.
@nitrotrigger i agree mate have you seen the r32 gtrs? r33 gtrs and r34 they look fucking tough compared to this but also have crazy air drag thanks to there blocky sedan based bodys, but the reason this is so ugly is its extreamly aerodynamic i think its in the high 20s!!!! my streamlined 80s supras are in the low 30s and they are about as sleek as cars get, the car was built for performance with no regaurd on looks i spose.....still id take a r32 with an rb26/30 anyday
@Turbinieris This was a production model, however they wont be "correcting" the understeer problem. The problem was likely the inordinately narrow 255 width front tires and the fact the track was very cold and damp. You can see the understeer through the chicane on the in car footage, but I cant see if he drove through a puddle. Tight chicanes are particularly cruel to heavy cars like the GTR, there's no way around it.
Continue... Proof that "jampatch326" #'s are wrong and hes a dip shit.
The large disparity in initial marketing between these regional releases is due to Nissan having to build GT-R performance centers where the car is serviced. Also the engine and rear-mounted dual-clutch gearbox are built by hand, thus limiting production to 1000 cars a month.
"jampatch326" Are you trying to be smart yet you came off really dumb? Obviously Lexus is made by Toyota. I was saying Lexus is the luxury company. Meaning its the luxury company of Toyota. You are going to tell me? Are you telling me the LFA is 2500 total? When clearly everyone knows its 500 total? Or are you saying the GTR is 2500 total? When Nissan says they make 1000 per month? You're telling me to do research when your #s are wrong ROFL you fucking funny. Making yourself look stupid. LOLOL
always used whe t final product have something very wrong. R35 dosnt impress me, this car dont even get close to be an god of streets like R32 & R34 was.
Continue... Also the other fact that makes the price so high is the LFA is limited to 500 vehicles total, and only 20 will be made each month over a time period of 2 years. Nissan makes 1000 GTR per month, and its not limited to how much they can make total overall. Making the GTR way less exclusive than the GTR. Also of the 500 only about 150-200 comes to the USA.
Why do you sound so dumb? 2500 is the estimated amount of production, and I was also at the dealer looking to make a purchase how come they only have one right now and wont be getting another until its ordered? Go do some research.
"flawns" Sweet you're one of the many idiots that play the price car. The thing is the Lexus LFA cost more because of the material its being used, and features. Also brand. If you compare the two cars. The LFA interior is so much better than of the GTR's. Why don't you take look at the interior on YouTube. Nissan is just a company. Lexus is a luxury company. Hint that's why it cost more. Its why Porsche GT2 cost more than the GTR. Playing the price car is stupid. "You get what you paid for"
Nigguh Jason you are a complete fool, you obviously don't know what you are talking about from that dumb statement; the one referring to toyota as nissan as a company lexus a luxury company. Lexus is made by Toyota just how Infiniti is made by Nissan.
GTChannel is bias for the GT-R. Besides, I will bet that the LFA will run laps around the GT-R. The LFA is going out perform the GT-R once they do the track times for it. I'm betting on it.
I can't believe this guy said "I was worried about the handling, but it's not bad." REALLY? This is one of the best handling cars in the world and he's worried about it?
@ipodkiller6 Then maybe you might just buy a 370Z then turbo tune it?? Just like back in the 90's Z32 Twinturbo vs R32 GTR? LOL Who won?? Of course GTR, cause having more pwr is nice... but with AWD will help putting that power down much easier
Great car, but I dont think the V6 sounds as good as the old I-6. to me the sound that a car makes, is extremely important, and the V6 really just does not do it for me, but it is a great motor so maybe thats more important.
Well I believe this is actually an zenki model in 07/08. Nissan has since then evolutionized the suspension setting as well as structural improvment on 2010 model for the US/European spec cars. Hence less understeer and more neutral balance dynamic. Where with the revised setup Nissan did an astonishing 7:30 flat lap vs the 7:32 before
Holy cow! The infamous Gan San...... I thought he retired long time ago from Best Motoring / Hot Version video already?? It's great to see him driving the latest Super car. Can't forget his driving skill. His super technik with the 97 NSX Type S zero at the old Fuji circuit, as well as the super lap of 7:56 with 02 NSX Type R at the Nurburgring is just pure bliss...
Gan San is THE man!
