Nissan’s GT-R has always sent a tremendous amount of power to all four wheels. It does it more efficiently than just about any other supercar on the planet. It’s this AWD system that sets it apart and gives the car incredible grip and astounding acceleration. Jason Fenske has first hand experience with the new 2017 Nissan GT-R and took it out to Nolan Motor Sports Park put on by Xtreme Xperience. He took the GT-R and three other supercars to see how it performed against the best. How did it check out? The AWD system made all the difference.

The GT-R is a rare breed. It doesn’t share its platform or its parts with any other Nissan vehicle. Nissan doesn’t use the GT-R as a test-bed for new Nissan technologies or processes.
