GTR - Nissan trains 5th builder. GTR nismo to be 2sec flat to 60?

MC · 10-08-2013, 12:24 PM

the 2 sec 0-60 time is a confirmed false rumor... I expect it to be more like 2.5 as the main differences in the NISMO is aerodynamics from Williams

speaking of the car its setting a nurburgring time today!

there are big changes in the GTR program. there is a new chief engineer from infiniti and a new product planner head who replaced mizuno when he left this spring.

the R36 is as little as 1 year away now

there never was ringers

but yeah no confirmation on the time yet but it seems it was successful as there was reports of champagne and pictures at the start/finish line

im betting its under 7:10... i dont "think" it will beat the 6:57 of the 918 with street tires...but it was spied a few weeks ago with potenza semi slicks so who knows

it should be awesome.. im excited as if everything goes to plan i should have one if the first ones

I found 2 seconds to be a huge jump. That's why I titled lthe thread with that question mark. Nissan Infiniti are doing great things right now with the red bull racing team and NISMO.

Aside from their name and sponsorship dollars Infiniti doesn't actually contribute anything to Formula 1 or Red Bull. But it's a good marketing pitch!

Interested to see the latest Nordschleife results. I'm with MC, beating the 918 performance will be tough. Apparently they set the 918 up in hot-lap mode where it will give up all it's battery power over the course of the lap. Getting within 15 seconds of that car would be impressive enough (currently about 20 seconds off). Need to beat that Viper!
