GT-R by von Saurma : 7:50

[infernaL]

Sportauto with the famous driver Horst has driven the new Skyline on N-ring.

*7:50 --- 157.787 km/h -- Nissan GT-R, 480 PS/1750 kg, Horst von Saurma, partially wet track (sport auto 12/07)*


Horst von Saurma, chief editor of sport auto magazine, completed about 100 kms with the new Nissan GT-R at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Best time he achieved was a 7:50 on a partiallly wet track especially at one of the key passages so called Kesselchen.

With all the electronic aids the handling is absolutely perfect, the driver doens´t feel how the drive-by-wire system really works as the GT-R stay on track like on rails, always has grip, doesn´t lose control, higly computerized and a perfect racer for the street. A time less than 7:40 is pretty much optimistic, 7:50 shows the true potential of the car. And when the price stays at the announced level, it is a real bargain.

About 100 kilometers of north loop were added for a test on the part of sport car still. Even if by Nissan for the GT-R self-confidently into the ring thrown the time of "under 7,40 minutes" may sound somewhat bold, then the time of 7,50 minutes, driven from the author despite a still damp passage in one of the key curves of the Kesselchens, proves nevertheless one: The GT-R is a racer. And if the price announcement of Carlo Ghosn also has at the end of of 2008 still validity, then it certainly also one.
