Anyone know what the actual time was? Great to report it, but it would be nice to actually state the time it ran. 7:28-29????

ur joking right… 160k, whats the equivilent porsche? and how does it match up… a boxter? performance wise where does it fit against the GTR? and looking at the price in the US… its a steal for a supercar.

The GTR is more pure as a drivers car, sure its not that brand wow factor as a Porche but the people buying this wont typically think of ‘look at me’ as first choice more likely ‘look at me beat you’.

As for beating the GTR, if you can make a half a million dollar car, it shouldnt be hard for porche to make a faster one, but let them try to build something that they can sell at the same price as the GTR, I don’t think Porche will be ready to do.

i think this is a great car, but as i already assumed, if i were to spend this sort of money on a vehicle, i would find it hard to not go for the porsche.

im sure i read that porsche did have something up their sleeve that they were preparing, because they knew this GTR would take some beating.

im feeling that the GTR’s glory wont last too long before porsche sticks its chest out again.

but i still love this thing.
have they confirmed pricing for OZ yet?

Congratulations Nissan. What a way to win credibility; to walk the walk, without the preceeding trash talk. For the money, this car would have to be the best motoring buy on the planet, and possibly in history. The numbers are mind blowing. Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, etc, stick that up your yuppy asses. Nissan just proves that 50% of the “big 3’s” asking price is for the little plastic horse or Bull, double sided taped to the bonnet!

Only 1 second (and a bit) faster for the Zonda F which lapped in 7:27.82, the hi res version of the clip at Supercarmovies.com is worth a look too, here’s the youtube version… well it’s not because posts with URLs seem to get lost in a moderation queue, so copy and paste this:

They’ve out-porsched Porsche.

Never really doubted it… still its a shame MOST here cannot afford one without a mortgage on it hehe. But for its practicality and performance.. wow.. its almost worth going through all that trouble.

yes, V-Spec GTR should even be faster….

Thats really rubbing the noses in it. The GTR is obviously the one to have as far a out n out performance goes. Watch this space.

Imagine the V spec! Probably be 7:25 or under…making it the quickest production car around the ring !
