Well i would expect them to beat it (at 200k for the top of the range EVO GTR you would hope so), the car has been in development forever and at each stage of it there has always been 911 Turbo with them.
Good on them though, pity it still looks like ***. |

This car looks great and sounds like it will have the goods on the preformance side too. Pity about the possible price it might end up being?

Might be a V35 skyline. (thats the detuned more daily friendly skyline that continued in production after the end of the R34)

From what I hear if Nissan takes out the record at Nuremburg, Porsche is planning to out do it with something very special. Beware a German scorned.

yeah pretty sure if you had a rear shot i could tell you exactly if it was or not. I am sure the front was different though, but the overall shape and size looks right.
So these have been around for some time then, never seen them advertised thats all. |

Haha interesting... a while ago it was being claimed the GT-R did the N-Ring-Nordschleiffe in 7:15 (same as a Radical SR3) and now they're saying 7:38.

I have actually seen one of these things in the flesh.
I didn't pay too much attention to it, just looked like someone got a 350z and put a weird grill and cool taillights in it and put a Skyline badge on it. I just assumed it was an import 350z but from somewhere that they call them a Skyline. Must say though, it did look resonable.
