Video: GranTurismo producers pushes the Nissan GT-R to 193mph

Legendary game designer Kazunori Yamauchi, creator and producer of the Gran Turismo series, is eagerly awaiting the release of his latest creation, GT5, which is expected to hit the stores sometime in 2009. The latest addition to the Gran Turismo series is the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec II which features 16-player online races, over 70 cars, 6 tracks and 12 layouts.

In a recent stunt to bring fans closer the game, Yamauchi, took the 2009 Nissan GT-R to the Nurburgring in Germany in an attempt to push Godzilla to a speed of 193mph.

Check out this amazing video as the GT TV folks follow Yamauchi on his mission to push the GT-R to its limits.

"in an attempt to push Godzilla to a speed of 193mph"

Did they succeed? All I heard is that they reached 300kmh (186 mph) on the autobahn and if they're going by the speedo, that could be way off. Motor Trend said that the GT-R has short gearing and that a lot of cars accelerate faster than the GR-R above 120 mph so I'm skeptical.

GT-R has max speed "only" 193mph becouse of it produces a lot of downforce - this enlarge air resistance . just like F1 car max speed is only about 210-220mph becouse of a downforce - F1 car has about 750hp and ultra streamlined body .
