Some people have all the fun. And driving a Nissan GT-R around a snow covered Nordschleife sure looks like fun. This really is a thousand miles away from my world at the moment, here in Australia the temps are hovering around 35°C. Ironically, this clip runs for almost the exact time of the GT-R’s famed […]
Details of Nissan’s GT-R Spec V were released today (see AUSmotive for full story). Along with that announcement comes this video showing the Spec V in full flight around the Ring.

It was initially claimed this car was showroom stock, but, apparently the car used in this lap has had some ‘minor tweaks’ for the Japanese market. It is expected these […]
Just discovered on YouTube is this clip of the R35 Nissan GT-R completing its famed 7 minute 29 second lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
