Is this foolishly fast streak-in-orange all the sportscar you’d ever need?
It stood there painted in bright orange. On a flat, empty strip i of tarmac, somewhere on the outskirts of Greater Noida, in the NCR region. Three switches were toggled, satellite-based testing equipment was plugged in, brake and throttle were depressed at the same time, and what followed was plain insanity. The ultimate result of a V6, some lines of zeroes and ones and an all-wheel-drive system teaming up. The MY2017 GT-R’s brochure reads that it can do the 0-100kph drill in 2.8 seconds – as fast as a Lamborghini Aventador or a LaFerrari. History would be created if it did so – history for TopGear India, that is, as the fastest car to hit a ton with testing equipment on board.
