The cool guys from the British version of Top Gear have driven so far just about every possible car you can ever think of. Starting with the very first vehicle that ever appeared on the road to the newest hypercars, their experience is absolutely unmatched.

So, in a case when Jeremy Clarkson and James May are astonished with a the performance of a certain, you just have to pay attention and take notice of that vehicle. Not that anyone really doubts about the Nissan GT-R, but this is a truly great video which really shows why the Nissan GT-R is a special car indeed.

In this five-minute video we will see James May putting the 2012 Nissan GT-R to the test at the famous Top Gear test track. Before watching it, there are few points to note:

1) James May seems to be out of his Top Gear “character”

2) Watch how easy is to put the Nissan into launch control, comparing to other cars that we’ve seen being tested.

3) Pay good attention to May’s expression during the first launch.

Watch James May as he’s testing the brilliant launch control of the stunning 2012 edition of Nissan GTR on the next video!
