Video of first encounter with the R35 Nissan GT-R
Click above for high-res live gallery of the new GT-R in the wild
Right after we posted our first impressions of the new Nissan GT-R last night, we were contacted by our friends at SpeedAndMotion.com who told us that they had shot some high-def video of the car, too. There is footage of the car during a quick sprint down the road and a good bit of time spent scanning the car's many interesting details, inside and out. The bottom video also shows a bit of crowd reaction to this all-new GT-R, just for fun. Follow the link to see the car in motion and hear some of the features explained by one of the guys who brought the car to the States for promotional purposes.

I literally see these every day now. Nissan's Proving Grounds are about 40 miles southeast of Phoenix, and the GT-Rs are out on the roads en masse just about every day on the rural highways near the proving ground. they usually travel in groups of 4-5 cars. they have at least two laptops on board, with a driver and weighted plastic barrels in each seating position to simulate passengers.
I'm sure there will be even more in the next few months as it gets hotter.

At about half way through when the passenger asked what speed was that, did the driver say 160 as in 160 mph? I did that once in a Diablo on a pretty wide open highway road at 6:00am on a Sunday morning but not on a small road like that with that much traffic in an area like that.

no, it looked like 160km/h which is about 100mph.

Oh yeah it was a left hand drive model. Thanks for clearing that up.
