2017 Nissan GT-R Driving Experience at Dubai Autodrome

Driving Experience of the 2017 Nissan GT-R in Dubai

Recently, we were invited to the Dubai Autodrome to test one of Japan's finest cars: the legendary Nissan GT-R. This opportunity was a dream come true for any car enthusiast, and on that day, my dream was realized.

Upon our arrival, we were greeted by three Nissan GT-R models. Two were outside—one in orange and the other in blue, both featuring shiny black wheels—while the third, a 2017 Nismo GT-R, was parked in the garage, representing the most distinctive version of the GT-R to date.

After a quick photo session with the three cars, we rushed to the garage for the driving experience. We were told that this would be unlike any experience we had participated in before. As promised, it did not disappoint.

As most people know, the GT-R is a vehicle that defies the ordinary, packed with features that verge on the insane. The tires are filled not with air, but with nitrogen to enhance stability and speed. Its all-wheel-drive system utilizes the latest technology, housing a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that produces an astonishing 562 horsepower. This power allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds—a remarkable feat, especially when compared to competitors priced at half its cost.

After donning the appropriate gear and preparing the cameras, we hopped into the car and unleashed the twin-turbo V6 engine. We started at a moderate speed, but within moments, we accelerated to 200 km/h. After a warm-up lap with instructions for turns and areas to reduce speed, we then took the car out for a full-throttle experience.

As we sped around the track, navigating straightaways and sharp turns, we quickly understood why we were told this experience would be different from anything we had encountered before. With masterful driving skills, I was astonished by the car's grip and its impressive stopping power.

After three laps of maximum speed and remarkable handling, we were instructed to slow down and complete the lap at a reduced speed before entering the parking area. As expected, the GT-R exceeded all expectations; it is truly an extraordinary car in every sense of the word.
