- 2010 Nissan Gt-r Allegedly Laps The Nurburgring 1.44 Sec Faster Than 2009 Model
Of course you're wondering why we're saying 'allegedly'. Well, simply put, at the time this post was written, no Nissan media site that we know of -Japanese included- has issued an official press release on the matter. Most websites have...
- Porsche Says Boxster And Cayman Facelift To Feature New Engine And Transmission Tech
We've known for a while now that Porsche is planning to take the wraps off the facelifted Boxster and Cayman mid-engine sports cars at this week's Los Angeles Auto Show. However, Porsche made it official today and even though it did not release...
- Why The Corvette Z1’s Nurburgring Time Shouldn't Be Compared With The Nissan Gt-r
We’ll give GM plenty of kudos for creating a sports car that officially lapped the famous Nurburgring in a mere 7 minutes and 26.4 seconds as it puts plenty of supercars costing double its price to shame, but ultimately, its somewhat unfair to...
- Nissan Gt-r At The 'ring
As if attempting to prove the notion that the twin-turbo V6 in their GT-R supercoupe generates more than the stated horsepower, and to further the cause of all-wheel drive, and to add to the cred of their ride & handling engineers.... (breathe), Nissan...
- Porsche Slower Than Nissan - Allegedly
GT-R carries with it strong connotations for the Nissan/Sony/Gran Turismo crowd. In all my living days, I've only seen a handful of Nissan's Skyline GT-R. They've all been right-hand drive, just like every GT-R in existence. Sony PlayStation...

NISSAN WILL HELP OTHER AUTOMAKERS DISCOVER HOW GREAT THE GT-R REALLY IS
In light of Porsche's attempts to see if the Nissan GT-R really can lap the Nurburgring in under 7 minutes and 30 seconds and discovering that they (Porsche) could barely crack 8 minutes and thus accused Nissan of.... cheating, Nissan responded with one of the best ever automaker-to-automaker quotes. This is much better stuff than Obama surrogates retaliating against McCain surrogates. (Watch the 7:29 lap by clicking here.)
At first glance, some auto pundits felt that Nissan should just ignore Porsche's whining. Everybody knows the GT-R punches above its weight class, that its bite is even more vicious than its bite, and to lend credence to Porsche's complaints would diminish the GT-R's gravitas. Fear not. Nissan came up with a great press release and a terrific quote which, in the end, made Porsche look like crying babies.
