When Nissan engineers were working on the GT-R their benchmark was the 480hp Porsche 911 Turbo. The lucky guys over at CAR have gotten their hands on the first GT-R to arrive in the UK and have put it in a head-to-head test against the 911 Turbo on Rockingham’s circuit.

This is the first part of the video where Ben Barry takes out the 911 Turbo on the track. However, when the GT-R was about to hit the track the storm clouds magically blew in. So, part two of the video will debut tomorrow.

Click through for the video.
