Porsche Calls BS on Nissan GTR Nurburgring Lap Times

I've been saying it all along... I guess the guys at Porsche agree. Porsche is quoted as saying, "This wonder car with 7:29 could not have been a regular series production car." They are flat-out accusing Nissan of cheating. I do wonder why they didn't use in-house hotshoe Walter Röhrl to drive the cars though... Some interesting tidbits:
  • 7:29: Skyline GTR claimed by Nissan
  • 7:38: 911 Turbo on Pilot Sport Cups from this test
  • 7:56: Skyline GTR driven by Porsche
  • 7:59: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V on whatever runflats it's got...
