Nissan GT R sets a 7.26.7 time on Nurburgring (on board camera)

[lazampa]

Check the fuel indicator at the start...then at the end....eheheh...

[tallica1988]

This is how fast I drive on GT5, while on the safety of my sofa... haha

[thejewcanoe]

it doesn't seem as well planted as the vette.

i am sorry ZR1 still dominates.

the nissan just has no appeal to me.

[vendavalm3e30]

7.26.7 for a EVERY DAY CAR ...AWESOME



[sledforpeace]

Gtr is fast... but has no sound... People buys Ferrari and Lambos for their sounds... A sport car w/o sound suck... Zr1 is a beast !

[StigRossi]

@sledforpeace

Ppl also buy Ferraris and Lambos for their interiors and the ZR1's is barely different than the Fisher Price version. Sooooo nassty and plasticky

[cacciatore2009]

questa auto a stracciato la mclaren su questo circuito !!!e cosa 3 volte meno ...la gtr e stata sempre la mia passione !!

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

radical sr8 lm 6.48m but gtr is still a good car

[LeontariF1]

@nismojpalmer Agreed, also the GT-R has room for four people. If money weren't issue though my preferred car for sheer pleasure would be a Porsche GT2 RS, I don't even know or care what its Nurburgring times are, as long as it is manual with rear wheel drive, can disable the driver aids has over 600hp of non-linear power delivery (turbo) and relatively sleeper looks compared to the rest of the supercars should be sheer enjoyment to drive! It's a car build for the true driving enthusiast.

[MrAmansyed]

Ok so this s the record for a production car...

[haqeem18]

the last corner :O

almost hit the wall

[giovaCJ92]

the same time with my pegeout 207!i swear

[ddaannyy89]

my goood........i have to drive it at least once in my life

[Ascender2306]

lol. he is driving like that because he thinks Godzilla is right behind him. :))

[kingssuck06]

@nismojpalmer You bring up a good point, but you have to remember a nurburgring lap in a ZR1 is subject to much more error than a GTR. GTR is a great car, and i'm not taking anything away from it, but it is too easy to drive. The fatigue that sets in from muscling a 638hp, 3200LB car with RWD and a manual transmission around this long of a track causes more conservative driving, and a much larger margin of error. Lap times from Car and Drivers latest lightning lap

ZR1: 2:51

Z06: 2:53

GTR: 2:55

[racefactory900]

fuck Euro/American shitty overweight cars... and yes, I am a European myself.

[linopacoloco]

whit my punto 1.0 '95.....44.25 XD

[issabmw]

Regardless of it being "tuned" the E46 M3 was put into production 11 years ago, and designed before that. 1,400 CSLs were made with the 2004 model.

Loaded fitted it with a roll cage, ESS supercharger giving it 532hp, and carbon goodies leaning up the weight. No word on suspension tweaking.

How it did a 7:22 on an 11 year old chassis, engine @532hp and 3140lbs weight is absolutely astonishing.

[Dani01c]

@issabmw i bet the gtr with the 50hp advantage and the 700lbs reduction it will do better than the M3 due to being awd and having far superior technology.. so, in the same circumstances, this car will always be faster, in other words, both stock, or both "tuned".. also even stock csl has soft compound racing tires, you cant even drive it on the rain.. if this car would also have at least those tires it would also be different

[SmoogieDiciple]

@Dani01c 700 lbs is a hell of a lot, part of the reason it weighs so much is because of all wheel drive its a trade of sie

[issabmw]

it takes the more aerodynamic ZR1 620hp to gain a second on the track against a 480hp rated GTR. You do the math

[shiftthe]

hate the fact that this car is so fast but doesn't sound fast at all

[MpMachine]

@nismojpalmer

yes M3 CSL get in 7.22 around the track and has only 360hp ;)

german engineering in da house :D

[007envious]

@MpMachine

I guess that was a joke? Right?

[MpMachine]

@007envious

why? dont belive ? search for some vids. on youtube

[007envious]

@MpMachine Comment misleading. „only 360 Hp German engineering in da house.“ Thats a joke Not an M3! M3 based race car tuned to hell in every possible way with over 500 super charged HP

On the contrary STOCK GTR does7.26 hundred times in a row . Then you drive it home. The next day you go to work, take your kid to school pick up your granny with grocery in the trunk, quietly cruise home from theater and do a 7.26 the next day .

Thats engineering in da house JAPANESE

[eltranced]

amazing car

[Icemen209]

the sound sucks -.-

[satrianman]

All alone on track...

[bldyeh]

GTR performs very well but I can't it's interior!!! Yike!!!

[29ryan49]

@bldyeh I love the interior.

[mrcardio9r]

Doesn't look too exciting to drive but then again it is only ~ 80k.

But if test track #'s are you're main concern you can't go wrong.

[raclimja16]

just stfu fanboys,

if this car was driven by sebastien loeb or petter solberg

it would put the zr1 time to shame

[SargentoDuke]

Lol at the end near crash because he tried the car drift and it do nothing... awd >D

Wtf, in straight line hes moving the steering wheel, power without control ¬¬

A car designed for do that circuit eating tyres coming with nissan micra parts on the interior.

[kuba83bb]

BMW M3 CSL 7.22 at the same track

[SargentoDuke]

@kuba83bb

Yes, M3 CSL Loaded does 7:22 with traffic, and Eagle F1 GSD3 standar tyres (not the sport cup)

GTR comes stock with semi-slick, ZR-1 comes with semi-slick.

STFU ALL, AWD comes RWD when +80% power comes to rear wheels -_-u

[MadeoN]

@SargentoDuke Actually the Loaded CSL set the 7:22 time on wider than stock Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. 265's at the front and 295's in the rear.

[SargentoDuke]

@MadeoN

No, is uses Eagle F1 gsd3

[MadeoN]

@SargentoDuke Ehh no. I'm pretty sure the car was running on Michelins at the time :)

[SargentoDuke]

@MadeoN

On the interview with the team they say that changed the SCups for the F1 GSD3 for the best reactions and water response.

[MadeoN]

@SargentoDuke Are you talking about the GT-R or the Loaded M3 CSL? Cause I can very well believe the GT-R uses F1 GSD3's.

[SargentoDuke]

@MadeoN

I talk for the ESS Motorsport CSL Loaded

[MadeoN]

@SargentoDuke Ok then link me to the interview that states they used other tires than Michelin Pilot Sport Cups in the timeattack on the 5th of the November 2007. Afaik the Loaded CSL has been driven on nothing but Michelins since 2005.

[SargentoDuke]

@MadeoN

EAGLE F1 GSD3... because the reactions of this tyres are best to imagine (not the handling, but you dont need to grip so much on the ring, you cant lost time taking some corners side drifting, not possible with the cups).

[MadeoN]

@SargentoDuke You're talking absolute rubbish man. The Loaded 7:22 lap was set on Michelins. End of story, it has never been driven on Good Years!

[salskyline]

@kuba83bb You mean loaded M3 CSL not stock engine, the GT-R running the 7:26 on stock motor dude......

[MDIVISIONRULES]

@kuba83bb yeah but tunes with over 500 horsepower

[MDIVISIONRULES]

@kuba83bb yeah but tuned

[thbdaone]

@kuba83bb This is a standard GT-R. It's no track version compared to the M3.

[djskyp87]

@kuba83bb csl loaded ist a street race car....

[MathV8]

@kuba83bb but it's modded w/ a supercharger ;/

[sugarpot21]

@kuba83bb You guys bear in mind... This car, that car beats this etc..... but this is a FACTORY comparison.. this car is Stock 100%, most others aren't!

[terzolilu]

@kuba83bb yeah man. bmw power, always win. Let those guys play with their toys :D

[Rui2JZ]

@terzolilu bmw's are great cars. great balance. but if there is something i believe, is in japanese creations ;)

[terzolilu]

@Rui2JZ I got Bmw... but I sometimes dream about jap sports cars... :D (don't tell nobody!)

[salchiflas]

@terzolilu @kuba83bb rly ? LOL okey a stock street car vs race car .... LOL just LOL men wtf are u guys thinking

[terzolilu]

@salchiflas M3 CSl is a street car. It's made for goin on the street.

[Rui2JZ]

@kuba83bb not in factory condition i believe

[dragythuno]

@kuba83bb However it was race prepared. Carbon bonnet, stripped out, caged etc... but still seriously impressive time. But I know which car I'd rather do the 440 miles to the 'ring in. The one with the interior and 9 million watt Bose stereo.

[LeontariF1]

@kuba83bb Was it with stock suspension and tires?

[GarysBeerReview]

@kuba83bb Your fukin full of it.

[StigRossi]

@kuba83bb

Thats the LOADED M3. That thing is essentially a racecar yes as 007envious says.

[mariano992]

@kuba83bb Yes, but M3 CSL is not road legal use as the GT-R!

[dbwrc]

maybe im an analogue dinosaur in a digital age but i think that electronics take too much away from the driver.they allow anyone to drive rapidly(although skill will still come to the fore)oh well that's progress i guess. anyway good lap in a great car on one the greatest circuits

[castanojs]

That GTR seemed a bit understeery, never the less.. great great great trully great car :)

[deepestlevel]

Give the Nissan to the hands of The Stig :)

[lovenswhal]

Another thing, the GT-R was using stock tires and the ZR-1 was using racing tires!

[420witchdoctor]

And it's aonly about 20k more.

[420witchdoctor]

Yeah, the ZR-1 had a 7:26.4. The GT-R was 7:26.7. ZR-1 wins still.

[distortedmotion]

What was the max speed on the straight?

[elpeladodelsamba]

nice driving awesome car!! japanisse car rule

[tech951]

He kind of over corrected on the last corner (you can see the barrier on the vehicles right) but over all its great!

[caguamassatanicas]

he actually trew the car into a drift to finish in a cool way. pay close attention, he flicks the wheel before the actual apex of the corner. its pretty fucking cool ;) plus its an AWD so there's lots of grip !!!

[mr0the0s]

This guy kicks ass. Balls of steel. I personaly didn't see him make one mistake thru all 100 corners.

[Faxe14011991]

nice
