Nissan GT-R V-Spec laps the ring in 7:25

The prototype Nissan GT-R V-Spec, wearing the "Victory Specification" designation reserved for the ultra high-performance Nissan GT-R, has been caught lapping the famed Nürburgring at an incredible, if not simply unbelievable, 7:25 per lap. This, according to bystanders trackside. (For comparison, Walter Röhrl lapped the Ring in 7:28 while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in 2004.)

In contrast to the standard Nissan GT-R, that made the run around the 'Ring in 7:38, the GT-R V-Spec has a new front splitter, modified rear spoiler, and different wheels. A more extensive use of carbon fiber has reportedly reduced the weight by upwards of 330 pounds. Of course, Nissan engineers also tweaked the twin-turbo powerplant for another 70 horses.

I thought there would be more talk on this since this car broke most of the production car records

If that's a production car, I'll eat my hat.

How about "if that's a production car with production tires and production ride height and production alignment I'll eat my hat" ?!?

I'm fairly comfortable that I won't need a fork, knife and A-1 in the foreseeable future with regard to textile consumption.
