1400bhp 190mph Nissan GT-R Drift Car – Video

 

How fast is a fast drift? 60mph? 80mph? How about 189.5mph: that’s the new Guinness world speed record for drifting, set by this specially-developed Nissan GT-R.

When it’s on full boost its 4.0-litre engine makes something approaching 1400bhp, which it drives through the rear wheels to push it very, very sideways. Will it drift? Er, yes, of course it will. But how hard is it? Autocar speaks to the team behind it, and drive it, to find out.
