Results: GTR on Top Gear Test Track



Yes, The Stig had finally attended his language course in the GTR (Only understood by Top Gear fans).

We believe these are very familiar names:

Porsche Carrera GT
Lamborghini MurciƩlago LP640
Koenigsegg CCX [6]
Ascari KZ1
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Ford GT
Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Noble M15
Ferrari F430 F1
Ferrari F430 Spider F1
Lamborghini MurciƩlago (retested)
Pagani Zonda C12 S 7.3
Aston Martin DBS
Koenigsegg CC8S

They're all slower than this Nissan.

No joke, everyone have been waiting for this moment of truth, the GTR, a 480hp 1740KG behemoth that costs a mere 50,000 British Pounds ($72,000 USD) had finally lapped the Top Gear Test Track faster than the list of cars above, which is from 9th till 25th.

The GTR placed number 7th amongst the TG track fastest, more astonishingly is that it tied with the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, an absolutely fast Ferrari, packing in all the latest technology Ferrari had to offer and stripped clean interior, no sound proof materials, no carpets, no luxury stuffs; achieving a weight of 1250kg, with 510hp on tap. The only cars faster around the track are uber hypercars such as Pagani Zonda F, Koeniggsegg CCX, Maserati MC12 etc .. only 6 of them in total.

Wait, a 1740 kg, 480hp Nissan tied with a 1250kg 510hp Ferrari? 490 kg heavier and 30hp lesser. Oh, the GTR is only 0.7 of a second slower to this:



What in the world?!?
