The prototype Nissan GT-R V-Spec, wearing the "Victory Specification" designation reserved for the ultra high-performance Nissan GT-R, has been caught lapping the famed Nürburgring at an incredible, if not simply unbelievable, 7:25 per lap. This, according to bystanders trackside. (For comparison, Walter Röhrl lapped the Ring in 7:28 while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in 2004.)

In contrast to the standard Nissan GT-R, that made the run around the 'Ring in 7:38, the GT-R V-Spec has a new front splitter, modified rear spoiler, and different wheels. A more extensive use of carbon fiber has reportedly reduced the weight by upwards of 330 pounds. Of course, Nissan engineers also tweaked the twin-turbo powerplant for another 70 horses... or so. Thanks for the tip, XeroK00L!

Dealers are taking orders now for V-Spec: $100,000 non-refundable deposit, 25% equity in your primary home and either your first child or spouse, whichever you choose. And that just gets you on the list to buy one OVER MSRP.

My dealer also wanted my left nut...hahahah

But seriously, I would love to see some verified performance out of this car. Not that I can afford a vspec, but still very interesting

rmatt8748

well we'll see, i'm guessing that it will go faster than that... if the regular did 7:29..

i'm also curious to see what the zr-1 does, they seem to be targeting the regular gt-r

So I take it that this vspec will be better than the evo spec that was supposely suppose to come out when they first lanuched the gtr in the US.............
