Summary from here:
|
1st (249 of 300 Points) GT-R: best driving dynamics, unbeatable price, odd looks, fastest on the track, best brakes, uninspiring engine note, best gearbox, suspesion setup too harsh, most usable. 2nd (236 of 300): 911 Turbo: most demanding an thus most rewarding drive, 2nd fastest on track, good compromise between track and road, good quality, 3rd (232 of 300) R8 V10: most comfortable, "best looking", most exotic, slowest on track, worst gearbox. Tracktimes (Contidrome Handling Track) 1. GT-R : 1:30.95 2. Turbo: 1:31.75 3. R8 V10: 1:32.11 |
So another excellent result by GTR and another disappointing one for R8 V10, which sucks cause I was really rooting for it when I heard about the 8700 rpm V10. I really thought it would would beat the GTR.

Ventross is a new division set up by America’s Vorsteiner specifically for Japanese performance cars
Vorsteiner is an American tuning firm that until now has specialized in modifying German performance cars from the likes of BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Porsche. The company has now established a subdivision called Ventross that will be focused on Japanese models, and its second order of business after last year’s Lexus IS-F is a new styling kit for the all-conquering Nissan GT-R.
The Ventross GT-R is modified with a sporty dry carbon fiber front chin spoiler. The spoiler features a center air channel that allows air to cool down the front brake system, while also increasing downforce. Meanwhile, the rear end of the vehicle features a lightweight dry carbon fiber boot lid with a built in spoiler that reduces the weight over the factory steel unit by up to 50%. Finally, an integrated carbon fiber rear diffuser complements the new bootlid, while also enhancing the factory stacked exhaust design. Also available in the Ventross package is a three-piece forged aluminum wheel set in 19 and 20in sizes.
According to Vorsteiner, all the aero parts are manufactured with a carbon fiber honeycomb matrix (CFHM) structure. This gives them superior stiffness, strength and durability compared to traditional hand laid carbon fiber and fiberglass materials.
The carbon fiber aero components for the Nissan GT-R are slated for market release on June 1st of this year.
