"On this episode of Ignition, presented by Universal Technical Institute, Carlos Lago tests the new Nissan GT-R Nismo," read the caption of Motor Trend's YouTube Channel, "the most powerful and best-handling GT-R available.

Packing 600 hp courtesy of new turbo chargers, new suspension components, and sensible tuning, this GT-R has the capability to chart new performance records for Nissan.

Using instrumented testing, a trip to a closed proving grounds & hot laps around Streets of Willow race track with pro driver Randy Pobst, we'll find out just how fast this extremely limited machine can be."

He also spoke about the front midship platform that Nissan has equipped the GT-R with.

The midship platform allows for better weight distribution in the car which will help the handling and performance of the car in terms of corner at high speeds.

Lago gives viewers, car enthusiasts and suspected buyers all of the information they need to make an educated decision on purchasing the over $151,000 monster of a car.
