Untuneable", they said. Remember when the R35 Nissan GT-R showed up in 2007? Nissan boasted it"d be untuneable, the secrets of its bi-turbo V6 engine, ATTESA-ETS all-wheel drive and trick systems locked away by reams of uncrackable code. No-one would get to play with Godzilla.Funny how times change. Nine years later, I"m being belted into a GT-R a Nissan-approved, Nismo-corrupted one-off GT-R with no front driveshafts, no paddleshifters, barely an interior and, oh yeah, nitrous. This is the rear-drive, widebodied 1390bhp Nissan GT-R Spec-D Edition, built for one heroically silly purpose. To eviscerate the goalposts for the world"s fastest drift.Photography: David Smith
