    Nissan GT-R head to head with 997TT at Laguna Seca

    Looks like the California test session for the GT-R was sponsored by Edmunds

    Here's video from Laguna Seca where the GT-R races the 997TT, and it's also the first pics of the engine bay and interior:

    If the car gets the same performance as the Turbo and is designed for Autobahn speeds, it will become a very attractive alternative when priced right.

    Hey look at the bright side. Seems that in all the GT-R spy shots you see it's 997 TT counterpart along side. Porsche should be glad Nissan is using the TT at the "benchmark" to meet or pass
