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. No mention of lap times though. While some details have been confirmed, nothing official has been mentioned on increased power figures. The modifications made […]

This one, spotted on GTRblog.com, features audio that is much better and the small Nordschleife circuit layout out super imposed on the lower left of screen always makes such footage a favourite.

Here is a much cleaner clip of Nissan’s official footage of the much hyped R35 GT-R lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes, 29 seconds.
