7.29 GT-R 'RING VIDEO

Last month we brought you news that a ‘standard’ Nissan GT-R had lapped the Nurburgring in a staggering seven minutes and 29 seconds.

Since then it has emerged that the car may have had a few tweaks destined for the European market, but as yet there has been no real evidence of the astonishing run.

Now a video has surfaced showing the GT-R lapping in 7mins 29secs and it was apparently captured by a quick thinking fan who saw the footage on a television screen at a Nissan event.

The previous best lap time for GT-R of 7:38 was one of the fastest laps achieved by a production car despite conditions being slightly damp on two corners.

You can see from the vid that the clock is stopped at 7.29.03 and there is a Nissan logo at the end with the words ‘The Legend Is Real’.

So that’s that cleared up then.
