Ultimate GT-R Lap Battle!

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Here is a video to rule them all; which version of the GT-R is the best? The Bee*Racing R32, not sure who’s R33, MCR’s famous R34, and a base model R35 battle it out to see who’s the quickest. Look at how well composed the R35 is in the battle, which probably helps the monster keep up with the ‘classic’ Godzillas. Please note that all of the cars in this video are heavily modified, minus the stock R35.

 

Another Wrecked GT-R

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

These wrecked GT-R’s just keep popping up over forums, blogs, etc. The latest wrecked GT-R is for sale at a Yahoo Japan auction, link. The bids are currently at 3,800,000 Yen, or about $35,000. And what do you get for $35 grand? A GT-R that was involved in a front-end collision that will probably cost around $25,000 to repair. Could be used as a parts car, but for $35,000?

GT-R Spec V

There are/were rumors on several GT-R based websites about this photo being the next Spec V. People are claiming that the new Spec V will post 7:25 lap times at the Nurburgring. That’s blazing fast, in case you were wondering. Nissan dropped the weight to 3,615 lbs, and the Spec V is expected to make roughly 520 horsepower.

Doing some searches on Youtube brought up a decent video of some spy footage of the Spec V doing some testing.

Top Gear GT-R Review!

Monday, July 28th, 2008

The video you’ve all been waiting for, Top Gear’s review of the GT-R. As always, the quality of the content is brilliant. If you have friends that don’t know about this car, you need to show them this video. It’s the best GT-R video I’ve found thus far. And wait until you see what happens to the host, Jeremy Clarkson.

Top Gear Wrecks GT-R

Top Gear was recently shooting some footage for its next issue at the Isle of Man. Rumor has it that an Audi RS6 Avant’s brakes just weren’t up to par with the GT-R and thus smashed into the back of this test mule. Ouch.
