Nissan’s claiming this is a stock GT-R. Running the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:29.03, just 1.5 seconds slower than a Pagani Zonda F’s nutso time of 7:27:82. Of course, one car sells for about $700,000 while the other costs $70,000. We don’t even think the Zonda F is on sale any more, which makes the GT-R the fastest Ring-running production car in the world.
