There has been quite difference between the backwards engineered German sports car builder Porsche and the Japanese automaker Nissan concerning both car builder’s flagship vehicle’s lapping a certain 12.9 mile long loop. In April Nissan announced that the GT-R had set a new lap record on the Nurburgring with a lap time of 7 minutes and 29 seconds back on April 17, 2008. After a bit Nissan’s test driver piloted the GT-R around the green Hell in 7 minutes and 26 seconds on April 23rd of this year.The new turbo is a much more refined performance machine coming with improved fuel economy, a lower curb weight and even more power. Under the rear deck lid, Porsche is now using a twin turbocharged 3.8 Liter direct gasoline injected flat six engine that delivers a maximum output of 500 HP and when combined with the German automaker’s new seven speed PDK gearbox can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in only 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 194 mph.
