Official – Top Gear GTR R35 Review (HD)
April 30th, 2010 | by admin |
International Car of the Year.
The Nissan GT-R has been rated the coolest trend car of today by the very famous german car magazine “Auto Bild”.
Nissan claims the GT-R can reach a top speed of 192 mph (309 km/h), Motor Trend recorded a top speed of 195.0 mph (313.8 km/h). It has been tested to achieve 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times as low as 3.2 seconds with launch control and 3.9 seconds without (improved to 3.5 seconds in models produced since March 2009). Autocar achieved a 0-100 mph (160 km/h) time of 8.5 seconds.
With a manufacturer claimed lap time of 7:26:7 min on standard Japanese market tires, the GT-R is currently one of the fastest production cars to lap the Nürburgring circuit.
The GT-R currently holds a lap time of 1:19.7 around the Top Gear Test Track, equalling that of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.
Road & Track were able to achieve quick lap times with the car on Buttonwillow Raceway, clocking in approximately 5 seconds faster than the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911 Turbo.
On Willow Springs International Motorsports Park, Edmunds were able to achieve lap times that were approximately 1 second slower than a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the GT-R.
Several automotive journalists, including Chris Harris of Autocar, Jethro Bovingdon of Evo, and Jason Barlow of Top Gear (magazine) have compared the GT-R to the Bugatti Veyron. Harris and Bovingdon both labeled the GT-R a “baby Veyron” in their respective comparison tests of the car.
The production version of the GT-R debuted at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, launching in the Japanese market on December 6, 2007. The U.S. official launch was 7 months later on July 07, 2008. Universal Nissan in Los Angeles provided a customer with the delivery of a new GT-R, fresh from the production line at 12:01 AM, on July 7, 2008. The Canadian launch was also in July 2008. Europe became the third consumer market, where it launched late in the year. The large disparity in initial marketing between these regional releases is due to Nissan having to build GT-R performance centers where the car is serviced. Also the engine and rear-mounted dual-clutch gearbox are built by hand, thus limiting production to around 1000 cars a month.

@caudice Yeah I’m …
@caudice Yeah I’m mad because faggots like you come in and talk about the ZR-1 and the Z06 in a video about the GT-R. If you don’t like the car don’t watch the video. Don’t leave a comment because no one here reall wants to hear it.

@Cman775 if its only fast in a straight line why is it one of the fastest production cars in the world around the nurburgring? it even beats the GT-R. people think because its american that it cant turn, when in fact its one of the best handling cars in the world. YOU are the one thats biased here.

@Needsdecaf That’s a good point. The GTR has been build for racetrack and not drag race

@h38604460 Well, …
@h38604460 Well, since I don’t have the car anymore…. I can’t. I didn’t mention ANYTHING about launch control. I drove mine around racetracks where it was meant to be driven…not some pointless drag race.

@caudice Its not so …
@caudice Its not so much that the ZR-1 beats this car but the fact that SHITHEADs like you bring it up in every video that has to do with the GT-R. Talking about other cars in a vid about one car just makes you a douche bag. OK FUCKHEAD WE GET IT NOW STFU and GTFO!!!

@raptorlp03 Thats …
@raptorlp03 Thats because the Japanese hardly make any V8s. There are only a handful of Japanese V8s produced for passenger vehicles. The reasoning for it is the insane displacement taxes they get there. Cars with over 3.0L of displacement get raped hard on taxes. Its just if not worse than the gas guzzler tax that we get here.

@raptorlp03 Its not …
@raptorlp03 Its not a waste of money if you are a rich car enthusiast. I agree its not the best performer for its price but It is pretty much an experimental car built by Lexus. It wasn’t built to be a bang for the buck car or a straight line monster, it was built to go as fast as it can around the Nurburgring.

@kageryu311 I believe we were talking about the ISF, the LFA is 375k, quite possibly the biggest waste of money on this planet.

@kageryu311 why don’t you do YOUR reseach before saying stupid shit? The 2010 GTR GETS 21 HWY LOOK IT UP. I’m not hating on the Japanese, but GM just makes better V8s hands down.

@Cman775 um, well …
@Cman775 um, well the ZR-1 is a lot faster than the GT-R, and thats a fact. so its not biased at all, actually.

@raptorlp03 And the …
@raptorlp03 And the LFA makes 556hp not 412. The ISF makes 412 through a 5.0L V8. Why hate on the Japanese? They have massive restrictions there and have to work through that shit.

@raptorlp03 The Nissan GT-R makes 480hp and gets 26mpg highway. Why don’t you actually do research before saying stupid shit.

@TheOfficialKC 3.2 …
@TheOfficialKC 3.2 not on all GTR. A lot of GTR doing a 3.5 or 3.7 with the launch control and take a look at all the video of the 2009 launch control and you will always see wheel spinning. The GTR is set to do a 3.5 sec Average and it will be the same thing on the 2010 model. You will see GTR 2010 doing 3.2 sec to. The 2010 model will do a 3.5 sec easely with better traction (traction control at on), and less stress on the dual clutch transmission. (not designed for launching the car)

@h38604460 Wheel …
@h38604460 Wheel spin at 1:11? BARELY. That is the best acceleration, barely wheel spin. There could be more traction when the Stig tested it. It was a different country and day. Lowering the RPM of launce results in a slower time. The old GT-R: 0-60 in 3.2s. The new GT-R: 0-60 n 3.5s. It was 3.8s without launch control.

@TheOfficialKC Look …
@TheOfficialKC Look at 1:11 the wheel are spinning. Look the start of the stig, can you see wheel spinning –> NO. No launch control was used by the stig for th 1min19sec of the GTR on the Top Gear Track

@TheOfficialKC …
@TheOfficialKC Spinning wheel has never been good to make fastest acceleration. On the 2010 model it`s launching the car at 3500rpm and it`s faster than the 2009 model that was launching the car at 4500rpm. It`s not accelerate slower because it`s launch at a lower RPM
