Nissan racing driver Michael Krumm joins us on this video to talk us through his very impressive lap of the Nordschleife in the 2014 GT-R Nismo. We first got wind of a likely new lap record for the GT-R last month.

It’s always good to have the proof to support the hype. As always, the GT-R doesn’t shy away from the hype and with a verified lap time of 7:08.679 why should it?!

Fitted with “track options”, which includes tailored tuning of the aerodynamics and suspension as well as weight reduction, Nissan is claiming the lap time as the world’s fastest volume production car around the Nürburgring.
