Clarkson Top Gear Said

[wizlb]

WHAT DO YOU THING ABOUT THIS STATEMENT

Even Clarkson from Top Gear Magazine, Jan 08 issue.

"The GT-R hasn't just moved the goalposts, it's obliterated them. For all-round ability, I have no doubt the Nissan is the best car I have ever driven."

"The GTR turns in beautifully, whether neutral or under brakes, and grips forever. Slippery surfaces seem to bring out the best in it. Time after time I left Turner in the 911 Turbo behind as my four-wheel-drive system and traction control worked better out of wet corners. It wasn't just the fact that I could get on the power earlier. It was about confidence."

The Nissan really is something special, and you get the impression that while a master driver could wring every last ounce of performance out of the 911, your mother could do the same in the GT-R."

"Does the Nissan's ability reduce the driving pleasure? Not at all. You can turn all the systems off if you so choose, and it's still supremely well balanced, no doubt a delight for a racing driver on a track."

This is coming from Jeremy Clarkson, who has driven the most exotic and best cars in the world: Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX, Ultima GT-R, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Murcialago LP640, Porsche Carerra GT, Porsche GT-3 RS, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, etc...

Not bad for a $70k car...

Bring on the haters...

In America Motor Trend says the same thing about the Corvette in the states.

Does not sound like something Clarkson would say though does it... unless how he acts on TV is an act... you'd nearly expect him to say something like

"The Nisan GTR is not a car... oh no... its the Millenium Falcon and the other supercars are Tie-fighters, where the GTR has one mission in life.. to destroy the death star... oh yes thats right people..... the GTR is coming for the 911 Turbo and as I sit here looking out the side window coming through chicago sideways, I dare say that darth vader and his cronies from stutgart had better be worried...... very worried indeed."

... or there abouts ... hands up who watched starwars on the wekeend

[wizlb]

Not only did Clarksonsaid it but he wrote it to. In the Jan issue of Top Gear Magazine and in America's Motor Trend Magazine said the same for the Corvette.

In America the new GTR will be less then a 911 but more then a M3 which will be around 70K to 80K.

This way they are have clear market for themseleves.

In Australia we will get royal F..K with regards to our price of the GTR.

I put up a link to show you he said it..find that link

[woodstock88]

cant wait to see them drive it on the show! massive lol at 'star wars references'

[swanny180]

Lol @ starwars GTR by Clarkson

Classic post

[funkymonkey]

in the US its gonna be priced pretty much identical to the Z06, and it makes pretty much similar power figures and lap times. It's gonna be TOIGHT over there.

[Master Boxhead]

Clarkson mentioned in the latest episode of Top Gear that aired in the UK that he is eagerly awaiting to drive the new GTR and expected it to be brilliant.

Clarkson loves GT-Rs. Stop being such skeptics and go find the old test he did when the R34 GTR was new on an airport runway.
