michael Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Don't scroll down if you don't want to spoil things but apparently the GTR has been on track and will be shown on Sunday, someone has apparently leaked the time though.... 1:17.3 – Ascari A10 1:17.6 – Koenigsegg CCX (with "Top Gear Spoiler") 1:18.4 – Pagani Zonda F 1:18.9 – Nissan GTR (TBC - Has not been aired) 1:18.9 – Maserati MC12 1:19.0 – Ferrari Enzo 1:19.5 – Ariel Atom 2 300 1:19.7 – Nissan GTR 1:19.7 – Ferrari 430 Scuderia 1:19.8 – Porsche Carrera GT 1:19.8 – Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 A little bit impressive. Edit: It actually did a 1:19.7 - whoever started the rumour was taking poop, impressive all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Wow that is a bit of a shock, that is 'hyper car stuff', amazing and just made buying one a whole lot more difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 You what, with the tidal wave of hype preceedig this car I was excpecting a sub 1 minute lap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I think the Maserati MC12 should be higher, as it's older, and looks much nicer Bloody Hell though!... Not bad for a sub £50k Japbox - Certainly a damn sight better than the £300k+ Porsche GT, and the Enzo! I'm not sure how this'd go in the 'driving' vs computers argument though, as isn't the Enzo full of them too?... Maybe the GTR's just got 'better' ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 are you being serious?! the gtr no doubt is a brilliant car but it beat an ENZO? i seriously doubt it, a formula 1 tuned car vs essentially a family car with a big engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 IMHO "The Ring" is being used as a marketing tool, Nissan have done it & GM are now taking it a step further. How on earth could a car shave 9 seconds off it's previous best time, you'd be looking at 100th's maybe 10th's of a second a lap at best. Again there's no way I'm going to believe JC & his bunch of caravan blowing up halfwits as to how quick a car is. He's as bent as a ten bob bit. I will eat my hat when a GTR passes me on the A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 , ya b@stard, Can't deny I'm gutted that it's faster than my 996TT, the media has ensured it has struck a blow to the heart of every Porsche owner, that's why the Supe is getting a T51R, I won't be beaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I only have 1 response, Porsche vs Nissan 17 years ago, imagine what a new GTR is going to look like in 17 years time http://www.imotors.co.uk/temp/jay/416119-1.jpg http://www.imotors.co.uk/temp/jay/575297-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 http://www.imotors.co.uk/temp/jay/575297-1.jpg There's nothing that says straight lines can't look good, you could say that the R32 was futuristic as in the future it's going to be straight lines everywhere, Tron, the taxi out of Total Recall, the game Elite... That Porsche makes the ship out of the 'Flight of the Navigator' look normal, how can we love normal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 There's nothing that says straight lines can't look good, So why did you choose a Supra over an R32? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Why is it so big, why is so oddly styled. I wouldnt buy a Supra if it was in a colour I didnt like, theres no chance I would buy a car in a body style I didnt like...however good the performance / dynamics etc, its just not very good looking.
