Turn in seems to be sharper, maybe because the front weight a lot less.

This is (probably) the best AWD you can get.

It seems to further enhance the GT-R, they are now benchmarking it against a Mercedes C-Class...

So how underrated is the V-Spec going to be. It has been written that during Dyno tests the GTR is making near 530hp (at the crank) instead of the claimed 485hp. SO if the V-Spec is supposed to have 550hp I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually pushing 600hp.

"up to 550hp and could weigh 250kg less than the portly standard mdoel"

plus with better aerodynamics and brakes.

after seeing regular GT-R numbers, I won't be surprised if that thing matches million dollars super exotics like Koenigseggs and Paganis.

Awesome job Nissan.

The car looks much faster coming into the bend and getting out of it compared to the regualr R35 GTR, and the suspension looks track spec and looks quite stiff, almost no sliding(very little wheel screeching compared to the regular GTR) or body roll observed(whereas from what i have seen in the nurburgring clip of the R35 GTR in the regular R35 there was a bit of sliding and very small body rollaround very fast curving corners).

I think it has to do more with loss of about 300lb of weight than power increase. The car looks much lighter and much more faster around tight bends and corners. Although i must say i am also very impressed by how well the power is being distributed to all 4 wheels, because of such well torque splitting, there is very little sliding of the wheels and very normal wheel screeching noise.

And also breaking looks faboulous, the car is able to brake quickly and change direction much faster from what i see.

The poor Mercedes in the video had no chance of rivalling the GTR, but it seemed like the driver believed his car was as good as the GTR and he was pushing for it to go pass the V GTR. But the Godzilla went awesomely fast and really that C class could not compete.
