High-Speed Driving (NPK)

From NAGTROC

High speed driving:

One of the many unusual tests that the Nissan GT-R had to pass, before going on sale, was to be able to cruise at 300 km/h (186.4 mph) and allow easy conversation - without the raising of voices - between the two front seat passengers. 'The car has to be easy and relaxing to drive fast,' says Mizuno. 'It has to be no-fuss - even at 300 km/h/.'

Several locations were chosen for high-speed performance testing. Stretches of German Autobahns, where there are no speed limits, were used regularly. 'They are the best real-world testing laboratories available,' says Mizuno. The Nissan GT-R was able to meet its goal - quiet, fuss-free 300 km/h performance - thanks to its superb aerodynamics, precise alignment of body panels and its advanced technologies.
