British automotive site Pistonheads (which by the way, is owned by the publisher of Autocar magazine), is reporting that the GT-R that managed to lap the Nurburgring in a record breaking 7 minutes and 29 seconds was not a current, base specification production car as Nissan supports but a modified version featuring a number of tweaks that are intended for its European launch.So what do we think about this “headline breaking story”? Even if PH's story turns out to be true, honestly now, who cares? The GT-R is one heck of a fast and superbly developed supercar. And if indeed the European and American versions are further enhanced compared to the Japanese spec model, that’s more than fine with us.
