VIDEO: 2010 Nissan GT-R's 7:26.70 Record Lap Time at the Nurburgring

We always enjoy watching cars lapping the Nurburgring's famous Nordschleife circuit but it's even better when you get the chance to see a supercar like the Nissan GT-R. This video, which was shot with an inboard camera, is from the 2010 GT-R's latest record breaking lap time of 7min 26.70 seconds that was achieved on April 23, 2009. The driver behind the steering wheel is Nissan's Chief test driver, Toshio Suzuki.

The Nissan GT-R's previous recorded lap times at the 'Ring' were:

• 7 minutes 27 seconds 56 on April 15, 2009
  
• 7 minutes 29 in April 2008
  
• 7 minutes 38 in September 2007

Here are the official videos of Nissan's all-new rag-top 370Z Roadster and the U.S. market NISMO 370Z that's powered by an upgraded 3.7-liter V6 cranking out 350HP.

Video: Nissan GT-R R35 Crashes after being Smoked by a Lancer EVO IX

In what could very well be the first-ever Nissan GT-R R35 crash documented on tape, a 'poor' GT-R owner loses control of his car after racing against a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX MR on a twisty mountain road at night. As you can see in the video after the jump, the GT-R pilot didn't seem to be much of a match for the EVO driver -even though for apparent reasons, it's an easier task to keep up with a car in front than to be leading the chase/race. Follow the jump to watch the video.

1/4 Mile Drag Race: Hyundai Genesis Coupe vs Nissan 370Z vs Mustang GT

Not that we consider the quarter mile "drag-race" test as being of any significant importance -there's not much to tell about a car from a straight-line, pedal-to-the-metal sprint- but nevertheless, we were more than curious to see how the all-new Hyundai Genesis Coupe with its 306HP 3.8-liter V6 engine managed against the also new, Nissan 370Z that comes with a 332HP 3.7-liter V6 and the 2010 Ford Mustang GT that is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 with 315HP. We won't spoil the "surprise" by telling you the outcome in MotorTrend's quarter-mile test, so just hit the jump to watch the video.

Faux Nissan Advert Pits Toyota Prius against Hyundai Elantra Owner

Though not a real commercial, we really enjoyed watching this faux Nissan Sentra advert from The Midnight Show at UCB (Upright Citizens Brigade theater). Written by James Adomian, the ad pits a Toyota Prius hybrid owner against his neighbor who just bought a Hyundai Elantra. The owners' quarrel over who got the best car / deal ends up with a hilarious driveway shooting. Hit the jump to watch the commercial.
