Nissan GT-R V-Spec lap times stun observers
The prototype Nissan GT-R V-Spec, wearing the "Victory Specification" designation reserved for the ultra high-performance Nissan GT-R, has been caught lapping the famed Nürburgring at an incredible, if not simply unbelievable, 7:25 per lap. This, according to bystanders trackside. (For comparison, Walter Röhrl lapped the Ring in 7:28 while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in 2004.)
In contrast to the standard Nissan GT-R, that made the run around the 'Ring in 7:38, the GT-R V-Spec has a new front splitter, modified rear spoiler, and different wheels. A more extensive use of carbon fiber has reportedly reduced the weight by upwards of 330 pounds. Of course, Nissan engineers also tweaked the twin-turbo powerplant for another 70 horses... or so. Thanks for the tip, XeroK00L!

Even on full race slicks that would be ridiculously fast. Granted its not official timing, btu still. On the other hand, if you break that down proportionally to a more typical sized track lap time of something around 2 minutes, that would be 3-4 second difference to put it in perspective. Still pretty big though

there is no official time. i heard official time MIGHT be 7:27 just for that run on that day.
there are more runs, more tests and more tweeking of the car. this time doesnt mean anything yet.
just like the zr1 time doesnt mean anything yet.
