Accident UPDATE: The GT-R was being reversed by a senor member of Top Gear magazine and the driver reversed at speed into an Audi R8 also being used on the test...

..
I wish we could see what happened to the R8!

The Japanese have done this with just about every "super" car they have brought to market. 300zx turbo, last Supra, last gen RX-7, etc.....just turn up the boost a bit, a little ignition tweak and bingo!....instant Porsche beater. Problem is, pick one off the showroom floor and mysteriously they don't often come close to those great published numbers. I don't think I have ever seen Porsche do something similar.
