Say hello to the Nissan GT-R R35! The blisteringly quick Nissan GT-R is a true revelation. It is just SO fast. Despite being a fraction of the cost this car will give those fancy Italian supercars a serious run for their money. For the spectator it's a case of blink and you'll miss it - even though you'll most certainly hear it for a while before and after it passes you on track. Remember the famous runway chase scene from the Fast and Furious 6 movie? Well that was filmed at Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire which is one of the location options for this experience. You could call it some kind of glorious homecoming for this very fast and very furious wonder machine. Purists will be careful to point out that the R35 which was finally released in Europe in 2009 is completely different to the Nissan Skyline GT-R. It's a whole new car albeit one that has a twin turbo six cylinder engine and is all wheel drive just like the later versions of the Skyline. Even more confusingly Nissan has...
You'll be in hot pursuit mode when you drive the Fast and Furious R35! This is your chance to drive a Nissan GT-R. This the Nissan incarnation of the legendary R35 series that blasted onto the road racing scene in 2007. Yep the already fast GT-R just got a little faster! Godzilla as the R35 fandom call it is a formidable motor just as it's nickname suggests. Straight out of the pristine laboratories of Nissan in Japan the Nissan boffins have certainly worked their magic on this ultra sporting version of the GT-R. Those with a keen eye will immediately spot the upgrades from the outside - the carbon bumpers the lightweight wheels and that enticing red line insert that underlines the body-styling. And just like Brian O'Conner's R35 from Furious 7 this Nissan is an amazing pearlescent blue chrome colour too. But it's under the bonnet of this up-rated car that is the consistent star of the Fast and Furious film franchise where Nismo has made most changes to the GT-R. Lifting twin...
Introducing you to a rather special R35 Nissan GT-R. This particular GT-R is resident at this Hertfordshire aerodrome circuit for your pure driving pleasure. On this experience you get to drive this Ninja warhorse of a car around the track for 10 laps…but there’s something you should know…
/>Nissan’s famed GT-R has been wowing motorists since it’s launch in 2007. Coming as standard with a whopping 650bhp you’d have thought that was enough for most drivers. Not here in Hertfordshire. If you go for the paid-locally upgrade you’ll be able to drive this behemoth from the land of the rising sun on High Boost. That means 1000bhp. We kid you not. One. Thousand. Hold on to your eyeballs it’s going to be very fast!
/>To cope with all that extra power and torque this R35 has been extensively modified. The six speed dual-clutch gearbox is from Dodson the world leader in after-market dual clutch transmission. This is supported with uprated brakes and upgraded suspension too. Under the bonnet it’s just as you’d expect with Nissan’s fine tuned 3.8l twin-turbo V6 engine in the GT-R.
/>What you might not now is that every R35 GTR engine is hand-assembled in Nissan’s Yokohama manufacturing facility by one of only four master craftsmen. These highly experienced technicians are called Takumi and only when you’ve completed many many years of work are you accredited this prestigious title. So highly regarded are the Takumi that each GTR engine has a little plaque bearing the Takumi’s name on it. How cool is that? /> We have no idea who actually made the engine in the R35 Nissan GTR you’ll be driving but we can confidently say you’ll be thanking him for the incredible power and performance as soon as you put your foot down in this amazing car around the sweeping Hertfordshire track. Takumis of Nissan we salute you!
If you fancy taking on 1000bhp don’t forget to ask for the High Boost upgrade when booking your date with the supplier. If all that horsepower might be too hot to handle stay with our standard R35 Nissan GTR drive it still gives you a ridiculous 650bhp after all!
Paul Walker loved the R34 Skyline - and we think you will too when you get to drive one! These Nissan R34 Skyline experiences take place at Bovingdon Airfield near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire and it's a superb track to really show off how amazing this car is. So what's all the hype about the R34? This is a car that was produced between 1999 and 2002 so surely it's outdated old fashioned and just a bit well past it? Nothing could be further from the truth. These Skylines are living legends on the car scene and their value is actually going up and up. Finding a really good example of an R34 Skyline and getting to drive it on a track is a beautiful thing! This Bovingdon circuit really lends itself to the hard and fast style of the R34. The throttle response is incredulous and there's almost no turbo lag. But the car is not over powerful. It feels perfectly balanced. With such precise steering you can confidently sling the Skyline in and out of Bovingdon's corners pointing the n...

Let us present the Nissan GT-R test drive - the Black Edition! This special version of the almighty GT-R certainly makes this driving experience stand out from the crowd. Expect high performance high revs and plenty of acceleration to boot.The GT-R name is totally and utterly synonymous with Nissan and their skill at producing the goods when it comes to creating cars that easily outstrip what we'd call the more classic supercars out there. When we first saw the stats for this GT-R we could hardly believe our eyes. 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds. That wipes the floor with many Porsche Lambo and Ferrari out there so no wonder that in both Japan and the USA these cars are street racing superstars.Of course the iconic Nissan Skyline has been around for decades but the GT-R you'll be putting to the test is one of the face lifted models. Technically speaking the Skyline name has been dropped but for all intents and purposes this is the same old Godzilla we know and love.Apparently the design and testing team at Nissan wanted to come up with a revised GT-R that whilst maintaining those aggressive looks also made a nod to Japanese culture. We'll let you decide whether Nissan has succeeded at what they aimed to achieve when you meet the GT-R for the first time before your test drive.As we mentioned this is no ordinary GT-R. This is the Black Edition and as Nissan fans will know there are some really nice touches including RAYS Engineering wheels LED daytime brake and tail lights very smart High Density Discharge headlights as well as the carbon fibre spoiler. And just getting in the car for your drive is a 'moment' with the flush-mounted aluminium door handles - another special little extra detail on the Black Edition.So now you're in. The cockpit is a racy blend of black and red with an array of dials and displays. The car has dual clutch transmission. Then there's the all wheel drive. Then there's the twin turbo V6 3.8l engine. All of which helps with those impressive 0-60 figures. Let's see how close you get to those figures on your Nissan GT-R test drive.
It all goes very Land of the Rising Sun on this Nissan GTR driving day with a car that gives the prestige marques a serious run for their money - at less than half the price! That's not to say the Nissan is cheap it'll still set you back 75 000 of your finest pounds...During this day of high speed driving you'll discover that the GT-R from Nissan is the 'young buck' of the supercar world. Actually let's be blunt about it. Many driving snobs think the car lacks class and style. OK it's not got the sensuousness of an Italian stallion but despite being less powerful and heavier it is faster on acceleration with 0-60mph in just 2.7seconds. So how does the Nissan do it?Well there's the twin turbocharged engine and the carbon ceramic brakes as standard. Then there's the double clutch (one controlling the even gears and one controlling the odd gears) making gear changes faster smoother and slicker along with the paddle shift. Add to that all wheel drive technology that monitors trac...
Drive a Nissan GT-R and discover the real meaning of the word 'supercar'! This amazingly fast roadster is the replacement for the much-loved Nissan Skyline GTR and when you drive it around the circuit you'll see why it's nicknamed 'Godzilla'.Just like the Japanese mutant movie monster the Nissan GT-R oozes power. The interior's luxurious and the terrific design puts the driver fully in control and at the centre of the world. Each engine and transmission is hand built while the head-turning square lines and vents of the bodywork work so well with the cars aggressive personality.Boasting a 3.8 litre twin turbo V6 engine with six-speed dual clutch the car is a deserved winner of a recent Top Gear Supercar of the Year award. The secret of its awesome acceleration is the clutch that responds to a flick of your fingers on the paddle gear shift. There's also fully automatic mode you can select which means you can concentrate on where you're going and not clunking those expensive gears! Wi...
The Nissan Skyline GT-R is a legendary car that's for sure. And when the vehicle is as prepped and primped as the one Brian O'Connor drives in 2Fast2Furious it makes driving this particular R34 pretty much out of this world!The mega successful Hollywood franchise has featured hundreds of cars but one that stands out for fans is the Nissan. Brian's Skyline in the second movie instalment was a gleaming vision of silver sleekness complete with blue stylised coachwork detailing and of course the UV lights on the chassis. Fitted out with Sparco harnesses MOMO steering wheel a Clarion head unit with LCD TV screen a JBL amp and Infinity speakers Brian O'Connors Skyline GT-R had all the extra accessories and mods any self respecting street racer could ever need.The R34 GT-R on this experience doesn't quite go to these heights of customisation but it is still one very cool car. It's in ethereal gleaming white with full carbon fibre bodykit right down to the huge spoiler with a boo...
