Just seen this on Evo wow what a machine! Not the biggest fan of the GTR but cant argue with the value it is only 11 seconds slower than the 918 which is 5 times as expensive. Also with the GTR easily being tuned to mental figures I am sure for another £20k or so you could have a 850bhp weapon that would keep up with a P1/918/LeFerrari at a fraction of a cost whilst being cheaper to run and more practical unbelievable.

What amazes me as well is this has 300bhp less and is 1/3rd tonne heavier than the 918 and yet is near enough as fast how is this possible it baffles me!

What a beast. Considering the 'basic' GTR has made mugs of many a Porsche owner, it seems they are now going after everyone else!

I think I'd just take a standard GTR to Severn Valley or Litchfield instead to be honest.

Yes I doubt the New Turbo S could get anywhere near this to be honest with that time...

these ring times are really nissans only selling point , i don't buy into it , over a track of 12 miles , there are so many things that could affect the time achieved , most of all the drivers balls , i would imagine many of the cars under the 7.30 minute time , could possibly do a 7.10 on another day with another driver .

As a massive GTR fan, I think this looks a bit OTT. I'll take a standard GTR thanks smile
