Nissan releases footage of GT-R lap record

By Pete Wadsworth•July 9, 2009•In Automotive•1 Minutes

Nissan has released footage of its latest assault on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, which resulted in a 7m 26.4s lap time.

This is the time that was set back in April this year and was clocked by Nissan’s chief test driver, Toshio Suzuki in the R35 GT-R.

Not a great deal more than that needs to be said really, we’ll leave it up to the rest of the internet to say things like: ‘yeah, but that’s on slick tyrez lolz!!!!!!1’ or ‘OMG, anyone can drive that car fast1!!!1!!!!! roflmao WTF! I’m faster than him.’ and, ‘but it’s not a proppa supercar tho.’ And so on and so forth.

We know that as well car-educated DR readers you’ll just enjoy 8 minutes of an amazing driver, in an amazing car extracting a lap time that beggars belief.
