The feud continues
It's still not over...Nissan fires back at Porsche by releasing a second video of the GTR's hot lap.
A few days ago, we reported that Nissan was not going to get into a war of words with Porsche. Nissan claimed that only "normal Dunlop" tyres were used on the GTR that set the blistering laptime.
Nissan has now released an image of the actual tires used for the test plus a second video of the lap as proof that its 7m 29s lap time is legitimate. In an official statement, Nissan claims that "there are some important facts that were not accurately represented."
Nissan has revealed that the GT-R used in the official lap time was actually at a disadvantage due to up to 50kg of testing equipment. According to GTRblog, Nissan has also offered free driver training for Porsche if it wants to attempt a second lap.
Ouch. Talking about rubbing salt into Porsche's wound.
