Inside Line takes the very latest Nissan GTR Premium to the test track and puts it through its paces, just to confirm once again this car cheats the laws of physics.

This is a pretty hefty car, 1,700 kg to be precise, so in spite of its 550 hp output it still shouldn’t be able to put down such mind-bending performance. And yet it does somehow!

It’s a 100 grand Nissan that can destroy supercars three or four times more expensive in acceleration and handling. And seeing as top speed is virtually irrelevant in the real world, you have to say the GTR is better than them. Fact.

But we don’t like it, not even a bit. I’d gladly wait another second or so to hit 60mph in return for more passion and style.
