That's how far this beautiful machine laps the 'Ring.

The 2015 GT-R Nismo has leaked prior to its official debut at the Tokyo Auto Show.

595 HP using bigger turbos, revised intake, exhaust, and fuel injectors. She is also 145lbs lighter than the GT-R Track Pack.

The 0-60 time will likely be announced at Tokyo, so for now, you can read this and drool over the leaked images at Jalopnik.

Yup, Just push X-X-O-O-Up-Down-Start.

Still ugly too.

LOOOOL, TMS.

While R32-34 are better looking cars, I've never really considered the 35 as ugly. However, this vehicle's disdain for manual boxes has always been a massive turnoff for me.

The last Nissan I seriously considered buying was a Leaf. If they had a leasing plan over here that made any sense I would already have one in the driveway next to the RS and the FC.

So, 7.08, alright.

It only took a but ton of gizmos and electric every damned thing, 1.6 liters more, twice the power and 18 years of development. The old 33 V spec could do an 8.02 with none of that. I find that more impressive. I know that doesn't mean anything to everyone else. Since I started catching up on Top Gear after living under a rock I realized that I share more than the obvious similarity with a certain presenter. I also share his lack of enthusiasm for masturbating to Ring times.

I was nowhere near the scene when this happened. :chuckle:

I'm a hater too. This car was built to achieve numbers. Driving pleasure wasn't a top priority, nor were aesthetics.
