The ace Formula 1 car racer and now NASCAR driver Narain Karthikeyan just got presented a Nissan GT-R supercar by Nissan Motor India.

Isn’t that super news? Have the Indian car prices gone low? Just kidding! The superman of Indian Motor racing was presented the supercar by Nissan Motor India’s CEO and MD, Kiminobu Tokuyama at a ceremony held at Madras Motor Sports Club, Irrungattukottai near Chennai. Abhijeet Pandit, vice-president (Operations), Hover Automotive India and other Nissan officials were also witnessed the occasion.

Padmashri Narain Karthikeyan is not a new name to Indians. He is the fastest Indian on wheels. But did you know that this self-proclaimed fan of performance cars had a soft corner for the Nissan GT-R. The racer had also driven the supercar on the test track for some hot laps. And whoa! That was real treat for the eyes. The power of the multi-performance supercar was simply mind blowing.

The Nissan GT-R is sure a multi-performance supercar. It has the super ability of fulfilling every dream that a driver can ever dream of. That is why the car is believed to belong to a completely new, out-of-this-world category of supercars. If you are now thinking that the Nissan GT-R must be fulfilling all the eligibility criteria of a supercar, that’s not all. Anyone, anytime, anywhere can enjoy the ultimate performance of this ultimate car.

Just go for a drive and you would know what we are talking. A ride in the supercar can offer great excitement that no one in the world may have ever experienced. The car’s interiors are loaded with electronics and decent bucket seats. The ergonomics are dead right; the knob for seat adjustment and the padded steering wheel just perfectly positioned for max track attack.

The Nissan GT-R had registered the world’s fastest ever lap time for a mass-produced supercar at the Nurburgring circuit. The lap time was less than seven and a half minutes as recorded in April 2009. The sports cruising in this Nissan car is just another great feature that lets the driver enjoy a comfortable ride from time to time. The driver just has to shift the A-range automatic gear shift into the Resort mode.


There’s a switchable suspension, with “normal” and “comfort” meant for the tracks and smooth streets respectively. The Nissan’s four wheel-drive system works to put all the power to the ground like a lightning bolt. The turbo-charged engine has minimal lag, and so, there isn’t huge torque upon tip-in. But as soon as the manumatic transmission hooks up and boost appears, an amazing 500 bhp reveals itself. The Nissan GT-R has the fuel efficiency and environmental sensitivity required in a 21st century supercar.
