Saturday, October 11, 2008    Nissan shows up nasty Porsche elitists   Nissan has released further video of their heroic record-setting run in a standard production GT-R on the Nurburgring. Perhaps now Porsche will shut up and get back to work on improving their own product. Ultimately, Nissan will come up against a wall given the size and weight of the GT-R. Just as Porsche is already at a near stop because of it's dead-wrong engine location.

RSS Feed for DrivingEnthusiast.net About DrivingEnthusiast.net Sunday, August 31, 2008    CTS-V at the Nurburgring   Thanks to the GMNext blog we have a great video explaining how the record setting run at the Nurburgring by GM's own John Heinricy in a production-spec CTS-V was pulled off:   You certainly haven't seen much in the DrivingEnthusiast network about Cadillac... but that needs to change. Cadillac has it, Cadillac does it. Anybody who tests at the Nurburgring is good in our book. Note that the defunct SVT organization never tested there... and their absurdly overheating SN95 Cobras never could have survived for a single lap anyway.

This will be interesting to watch - the car is already doing 7:24 in development laps at the track, bettering the Porsche GT-2 and matching the Nissan GT-R. Note how the car is painted flat black to keep prying eyes away from the details... few of the technical details of the car are known at this early point other than that it is powered by a V-10 engine mounted in the front. We'll have to keep an eye on this one over the weekend. Kudos to Lexus engineers for having the confidence in their work to run a development prototype in a tough race like this! A conventional manufacturer might chose to enter a car after a year of production... Lexus is clearly not a conventional car company!  A completely unconfirmed rumor in the web this past week claimed that the car would retail for $225,000 US when it debuts. If true, that would take it well away from the GT-R in market competition, leaving it above Aston Martin territory and in Ferrari territory.
