Nissan GT-R on Top Gear 1:17.8

Over the last several years, one of the yardsticks of supercar performance has been its lap time at the Top Gear test track.  The 2009 Nissan GT-R was tested there by the program several years ago and managed a 1:19.0 time, putting it ahead of lots of much more exotic machinery.  This time they take a 2012 (2011 MY everywhere else) GT-R and put it on the track.  Click though for the video.




Eighth overall out of all the cars they have tested.  Everything quicker is very exotic, and very unique.
