In a rare outburst of public emotion, a Porsche 911 spokesman August Achleitner has openly wept to the media recently at the Australian press preview of the latest Porsche Cabrio. Specifically they called Nissan Motors a “big meany” and “a no good dirty cheater” when confronted about the enormity of the whooping they received at the Nurburgring in their home country Germany by the GT-R.
When asked “WTF?” they claimed they had purchased a GT-R themselves to test at the famous Nordschleife. A Porsche engineer could not manage to get the car to change out of 3rd gear and only managed a time of 7.54 seconds.
In between fits of heavy weeping and moaning they also claimed that every other test the GT-R had beaten the Porsche in were also “big dirty lies”.
Achleitner was given a pacifier and slept for the rest of the day after the preview. He’s said to be feeling better after his delusional outburst.
Zele International’s Type-2 FZ-Titanium Exhaust is named, and priced for release. The beautiful titanium quad outlet exhaust will go on sale now for 490,000 yen in Japan. This is available from Zele dealers worldwide.
The exhaust is JASMA certified in Japan which means it meets strict noise control regulations and wont be overly noisy.
A few photoshops of things like this were getting around but here is a real live GT-R with no spoiler. Sporting a Mine’s exhaust and BBS LM-DBK 20″ limited edition wheels as well, this GT-R is certainly a sight to behold.
Notice also the tinted rear reflectors and the Nissan badge removal.
From some angles it’s a “maybe” for me although I’m well aware it completely ruins the aerodynamics that Nissan worked for years to perfect.
The most recent R35 GT-R Club Offline Meeting was held at the Nissan Tochigi plant. In a frank discussion with Miyazaki-san from Nissan he let slip that the Spec-V is due for a January release in Japan. No more details from the R35 GT-R Club guys on this however…
Autocar.co.uk Magazine close off a beautiful road on the Isle of Man to shoot a days worth of driving to find out Britains Best Driving Car. A comparison between the Lotus Elise SC, KTM Crossbow, Lamborghini Gallardo 560 and the Nissan R35 GT-R.
The GT-R turns out to be a Japanese model with speed limiter still intact… Even so you wont be surprised which car gets the praise.
