GT-R melhora o seu tempo em Nurburgring para 7:29



'Voltando' ao GT-R 'normal', sabemos que a sua volta oficial a Nurburgring o ano passado, foi feita com 'trânsito' e com o circuito parcialmente molhado. Mesmo assim o GT-R fez o tempo de 7:38, algo incrível para um carro desta classe. Na verdade, e ao longo dos testes que tenho lido, o GT-R está simplesmente numa classe a parte. Nos passados dias 16 e 17 de Abril, Tochio Suzuki, piloto de testes chefe, pegou num GT-R base, com pneus standard, e voltou a Nurburgring, desta vez, com o circuito seco, Tochio conseguiu 7 minutos e 29 segundos, o terceiro melhor tempo para um carro de estrada, batido apenas pelo Zonda S ClubSport e Carrera GT.

Agora pensem no tempo, em seco, que a versão V-Spec vai conseguir! Ser o número 1!

A press release em Inglês foi lançada de Portugal!!! Eles andam cá no evento Nissan 360, do qual vou tentar entrar em detalhes mais tarde.

GT-R ACHIEVES UNDER 7:30 AT NURBURGRING

- GT-R among the fastest ever production road cars at the ‘Ring’ -

(CASCAIS, Portugal, 1st May 2008) - Nissan today announced that its GT-R supercar achieved a lap time at the infamous Nurburgring in Germany of seven minutes and 29 seconds. Recorded on April 16 and 17, the GT-R used was a base specification car and fitted with the standard Japanese market tires. Driven by GT-R chief test driver Tochio Suzuki, this latest lap time beats the previous fastest time for the GT-R by nine seconds.

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

“At last year’s testing, we were frustrated by the conditions at the Nurburgring, always believing that the GT-R could go under seven minutes 30 seconds.” said Kazutoshi Mizuno, Chief Vehicle Engineer for GT-R. “Below seven minutes 30 seconds, the GT-R proves it is among the fastest mass-production cars in the world. We set out to build a multi-performance supercar accessible to anyone, anytime and anywhere - I believe the GT-R has delivered that promise.”

Deliveries of the all-new GT-R began in Japan in December 2007. Sales in the US and Canada start in July and extend to Europe and other markets over the next 12 months.
