The lads from Top Gear have driven just about everything you can think of. From the very first vehicle on the road to the latest hypercars, their experience is unparalleled.
So, when James May and Jeremy Clarkson are astounded with a product's performance, you have to take notice. Not that anyone really doubted the Nissan GT-R to begin with, there's one excellent bit of footage that truly captures why the Nissan GT-R is a very special car.
In this five-minute clip you'll see May testing out a 2012 GT-R at the well-known Top Gear test track. A couple of points to note:
1) James May appears to be out of his Top Gear "character"
2) Look at how EASY it is to get the GT-R into launch control, unlike some other products we've tested
3) On the first launch, look at May's expression
James May is out to test the stunning launch control of the new Nissan GTR 2012.
