With the upcoming release of the Gran Turismo Sport video game, which features a GT-R, Nissan celebrated the landmark occasion with a one-of-a-kind driving event. At Silverstoneâ€™s famous National Circuit in London, NISMO athlete and GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough piloted a specially crafted vehicle using only a PlayStation DualShockÂ®4 controller.Â

Controlling the GT-R from the cockpit of a helicopter, Mardenboroughâ€™s fastest lap clocked in at 1:17:47. The specially-outfitted Nissan GT-R averaged 76 miles per hour and reached a top speed of 131. Four robots operated the carâ€™s steering, transmission, brakes, and throttle while six computers tracked the entire performance. Check out this driving expert smoothly handling the Nissan on the iconic race track in this video:Â

The 2017 Nissan GT-R is more than a muscle car. Handcrafted from start to finish, the 3.8-L twin-turbocharged V6 engine in this luxury vehicle is built from lightweight, highly durable aluminum and magnesium parts. To ensure maximum quality, this essential component is constructed in a climate-controlled clean room by a single expert technician who signs his work with an exclusive plaque. Producing 565 horsepower and 467 lb.-ft. of torque, this automobile will meet any driverâ€™s demands on the road.
