But what's that on the graph? Shifting?




3,0 s 0-100 km/h in cold weather, no extras and one person.
So. With AMS/Sport Auto/AutoBild-methode at least 3,2 seconds (full tank of fuel, two persons on-board) - not faster as a normal Turbo PDK.

You didn't think they were going to just sit back and let the 911 Turbo S post such times did you? LOL. Nissan is determined to match or beat Porsche's every move.

But the Turbo S is already capable for 3,0-3,1 s-times (AutoZeitung, AutoBild, AMS). And the Turbo PDK is just a bit "slower": 3,1-3,3 s.

This 3,0 s time of the Godzilla is the factory's claim, I'm pretty sure we won't see better times in european magazines.

GT-R! \o/

Also at a fraction of the cost.

I don't think it's shifting. I think it's lack of traction due to the cold weather. That jitter appears from rest too, where there is for sure no shifting (but for sure an emphasis on grip).

Damn I love Godzilla.

My thoughts exactly.

But the Turbo S is already capable for 3,0-3,1 s-times (AutoZeitung, AutoBild, AMS). And the Turbo PDK is just a bit "slower": 3,1-3,3 s.

There isn't any real technique to launching a car with launch control, as long as conditions are grippy and dry then these figures should be easily repeated.

Bottomline is this car is the match for the 997Turbo S at a fraction of the price.

Amazing figures from an amazing car! Let me get my socks off to get all 4-thumbs-up for that mean machine!

Bottomline is this car is the match for the 997Turbo S at a fraction of the price.

The fraction has changed, however. Here, the GTR is by no means a cheap car, even compared to Porsches.

True, my statement may need tweaked for Market to Market. But no matter how you look at it the GTR offers exceptional performance value to money compared to the establishment.

 

[Mr Robert]

It is now part of the establishment. But I agree, good value for money. No doubt.
