VIDEO: Nissan Murano GT-C v. Honda S2000

Okay, yes. It’s probably the most ridiculous shootout ever perpetrated by those wacky Brits on Fifth Gear. But remember, this particular Murano is the one-off GTC concept that made its debut during last year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. As such, it’s packing 350 turbocharged ponies courtesy of a T3/4 hybrid mated to the oh-so-delectable VQ35DE. Coupled with a few choice suspension mods and some incredibly necessary brake upgrades, the Murano GTC could be a winner, but alas, the combination of high weight, a high COG and that dastardly CVT made it less of a track bomber and more of a grocery getter.
