Thanks to the GTR Register for the scoop

Car Magazine And their R35 test

Today the magazine Car will be available where they tested the R35 GT-R. They tested the car against the Audi R8, BMW M3 and a specially modified Porsche Turbo by Porsche itself. I can already give you the times the cars did around the track of Rockingham in England.

• Nissan GTR – 82.10 seconds with a top speed of 109.7mph
• Porsche 911 turbo – 83.10 seconds with a top speed of 114mph
• Audi R8 – 83.83 seconds with a top speed of 107.9mph
• BMW M3 – 85.58 seconds with a top speed of 106.2 mph

So there you have it, the Nissan is victorius again. Allthough the Porsche managed to get a higher topspeed it lost precious seconds around the corners.

   

Car Magazine features the UK first R35

These pictures are exclusive, but I can’t release all the the times yet. The magazine itself has to come out first. That will happen on the 27th. The Nissan GT-R from GT-C, Porsche Turbo, BMW M3 and Audi R8 were pitted against each other in a Time Attack style around Rockingham Circuit in the UK.

What I can do is show you these pictures 🙂 and tell you the times of the R35 and the Porsche.

Nissan R35 GT-R – 82.10 seconds !  top speed 109.7mph

Porsche 911 Turbo – 83.10 seconds top speed 114mph

The times of the R8 and the M3 will have to wait untill I can release them. The Porsche was tuned by Porsche UK because they new what they were up against. But to no avail, they still lost precious seconds on the GT-R

    

Audi R8 V12 TDI

And now for something completely different  🙂

This is how the R8 should have looked like in the first place. On the other side off the world in Detroit the Auto Show opened it’s doors. Audi presented their new R8 V12 TDI with more 500bhp and 738 lb-ft of torque to the public.
