Nissan GT-R Nürburgring record run footage

In April 2008, a stock JDM spec. Nissan R35 GT-R, steered by Nissan’s chief test driver, completed a lap on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in only 7 min 29 seconds – the new record time for serial production vehicles. This lap time was later disputed by Porsche, claiming the tires used in the record run were not standard, as claimed by Nissan. But Porsche were not really going to stand around while Nissan put there camp fire out and stole sales.
