Jason Fenske has first hand experience with the new 2017 Nissan GT-R and took it out to Nolan Motor Sports Park put on by Xtreme Xperience. He took the GT-R and three other supercars to see how it performed against the best. How did it check out? The AWD system made all the difference.

The GT-R is a rare breed. It doesn’t share its platform or its parts with any other Nissan vehicle. Nissan doesn’t use the GT-R as a test-bed for new Nissan technologies or processes.
