Nissan GT-R laps Nurburgring in 7 minutes 29 seconds
http://www.leftlanenews.com/nissan-gt-r-laps-nurburgring-in-7-minutes-29-seconds.html
Nissan has announced that its all-mighty GT-R has lapped Germany's Nurburgring in an astonishing 7 minutes 29 seconds. Godzilla originally ran around the famed track in 7 minutes 38 seconds but, thanks to dryer conditions, test driver Tochio Suzuki piloted the GT-R to a 9 second faster lap time.What makes the run even more impressive is that it was done on stock JDM tires.
"At last year's testing, we were frustrated by the conditions at the Nurburgring, always believing that the GT-R could go under seven minutes 30 seconds," said Kazutoshi Mizuno, Chief Vehicle Engineer for GT-R. "Below seven minutes 30 seconds, the GT-R proves it is among the fastest mass-production cars in the world."
That lap time places the GT-R ahead of the Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 GT, Koenigsegg CCR and Porsche 997 GT2, and just one second behind the Porsche Carrera GT — not bad for a car down several ponies on each of the competitors. We can't wait to see where the GT-R V-Spec ranks.

Nissan GT-R V-Spec
Nissan has also set a sub-7 minute 25 second Nürburgring goal for the GT-R V-Spec — 18 seconds faster than the current car.
Underhood, the GT-R V-Spec's turbocharged mill will see an increase in boost, raising output to 550 horsepower — up from the standard GT-R's 480 horsepower. In addition to the power boost, the V-Spec will also shed 330 pounds.
This test car gets a revised front splitter, which sports some additional air intake slits, presumably to feed more cooling air to the brakes. New six-spoke wheels also house what appear to be a revised braking system. The golden Brembo brake calipers were an ever-present feature even on the first GT-R prototypes, but they're a no-show on this tester. Could we be looking at an upgraded ceramic composite braking system?
With a curb weight of 3,836 pounds, the GT-R is no featherweight. And while the standard GT-R obviously overcomes any weight penalty in heroic fashion, it's compelling to imagine a GT-R that's some 300-plus pounds lighter. The V-Spec is rumored to shave at least that much weight thanks to the use of carbon fiber body panels, and other assorted techniques. The prototype photographed has a portion of its rear wing blacked-out, suggesting it is one of the carbon fiber pieces that will make up the V-Spec package.
Once this GT-R is fully prepped for testing duty we hope to get a closer look to assess any other weight-saving steps Nissan may have taken.

Nissan GT-R V-Spec 550hp, 330 pounds lighter
Nissan’s engineers are targeting a Nurburgring time of 7 minutes and 25 seconds to break the circuit records. So expect massive amounts of spy shots from Nurburgring in the coming months.
The GT-R will cost £55,000 when it goes on sale in the UK in March 2009, and the V-Spec will add £20,000. The GT-R V-Spec will arrive in the UK before the end of 2009 and in the U.S. in the middle of 2010.

2009 GT-R Modifications
This article
from Motor Trend gives some detail on what has been done by the famous tuner MINE's and some of the restrictions Nissan has put on the car. Now keep in mind that the US spec car might or might not have these restrictions.
