The Nissan GT-R is undoubtedly fast, which has led to some dustup on the internet surrounding voided warranties when using the standard Launch Control.

The Nissan GT-R set the ‘Ring on fire back in April with a single lap of 7:29.

If you thought that the ‘sci-fi’ Lamborghini car-park video was awesome and inspirational then this will blow your mind.
