seems unlikely...specially when you consider that the new big T has 500 hp. still, the GT-R looks awesome.

looks nice but if you put a Bugatti veyron on the track the GT-R is hopeless

The GT-R has far more tuning potential than the Bugatti. So in my opinon, the GT-R would stand a chance with the Veyron if you could add all the Nismo after market parts.

Heinz, why would you compare 2 cars that are in a completely different class. The Bugatti costs 10 times more than the expected price of the GT-R.

the japanese car is really ugly. The Porsche is of course faster. This will all come to a head and pass over us with no records being broken. Just the jewish press trying to scare the germans. Nice try.

The R32, R33 and R34 models of the Skyline GT-R all beat the then current 911's Nurburgring times. A little history lesson for those who don't have a clue. That's always been a goal of the GT-R, and I wouldn't bet against this one doing it either. And don't forget that the Skyline got banned from international motor sport, because it couldn't stop winning. Another history lesson.

oh my god, the Bugatti name has appeared on a GT-R article. You guys must be really proud since this car is far quicker than a Rolls-Royce Phantom, right?

Yeah and if you put the Veyron next to a bullet train its got no hope either. *rolls eyes* Anybody can go fast in a straight line but can they actually drive? My Ford Focus XR5(ST in Europe) might not be the fastest from the lights but I find most people in so called performance cars wimp out when the road doesn't go straight. On a track like the Ring the Veyron can be pwned by much cheaper less powerful cars not just the GTR.
