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. Thous&. Hold on to your eyeballs it’s going to be very fast!
To cope with all that extra power & 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 & 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 h&-assembled in Nissan’s Yokohama manufacturing facility by one of only four master craftsmen. These highly experienced technicians are called Takumi & 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 & 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!
