Nissan GTR vs 997 GT3 mk2 at the ring! Open this thread for the times
Results from Carmagazine N-ring test, driven by proffesional nurburgring specialist.

GT3: 7:49
GT-R: 7:51

The famous Sportauto magazine have tested the GTR In the next issue to, and the rumors say that Horst von sauma (nurburgring testdriver) couldnt get near Nissan "official" nurburgring time. Is the truth finally catching up?

For some reason the Porsche looks bigger and dare I say it fatter.

I think someone should change the Nurburgring lap times to indicate that the Nissan tests were done using a modified car.

Looks like Porsche's time was pretty close to what they claim, while Nissan's is way off.

GTR:
Claimed: 7:26 (I believe this is their latest claim)
This test: 7:51

GT3:
Claimed: 7:40
This test: 7:49

Porsche is always conservative on their numbers/specs. Whereas other manufacturers...well, as you can see...

~80k vs ~112k, not exactly double.

And by different do you mean "no one (including numerous professionals) except Nissan knows how?". The GTR is a fantastic performer, an overachiever even, but let's not kid ourselves. No independent test has been able to get within 20 seconds of Nissan's claimed times around the 'Ring, and on the street I've killed (slaughtered) one multiple times from varying speeds in a 121mph trapping car.

Wasnt this car supposed to be easy to drive fast?

Several extremely fast drivers including WR couldn't match Nissan's time. Out of anyone WR should have been the fastest driver with his excellent Ring knowledge and his 4WD experience.
