When a pair of Russian pilots wanted to set a local ice-speed record, they chose a stock Nissan GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/gt-r/) for the task. Roman Rusinov, a Russian race car driver, and Andrey Leontjev, a Russian auto journalist, took Godzilla to Lake Baikal and ran it up to 294.8 kilometers per hour (182.8 miles per hour) across frozen stuff estimated to be 1.4 meters thick.
While the worldwide record of 205.48 mph (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/15/bentley-sets-new-land-ice-speed-record/) was set by Juha Kankkunen in a Bentley Supersports Convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/bentley/continental+supersports/), the mark achieved by Rusinov and Leontjev establishes a new Russian record. Well done, boys. You can watch it all go down in the video below (http://www.motorgen.com/2013/04/06/nissan-gt-r-goes-183-mph-on-ice-in-russia/#continued).Continue reading Nissan GT-R goes 183 mph on ice in Russia (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/06/nissan-gt-r-goes-183-mph-on-ice-in-russia/)
