Video: One-Off Nissan Murano GT-C Vs. Honda S2000?!

Back in July, Nissan showed off a sportier version of its Murano crossover, dubbed the GT-C, at the UK’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Packing a Garrett turbocharger producing 345 brake horsepower, a set of big Brembos and the usual raft of interior show car trinkets (hand-blown glass ashtray, anyone?), it was pretty convincing stuff. But there’s been no firm word on a production variant, and it hasn’t been terribly clear how much of a runner the GT-C is.

Thankfully, the British motoring journalists at Fifth Gear have managed to rectify that last bit, with a spirited blast around Cadwell Park in an interesting face-off against a Honda S2000.

The issue here is that the s2000 is Vicki's own personal car.

I doubt she drove it as hard as she possibly could.

Also stock street tires on the s2000 vs R compounds on the Murano GTC

This is my first time seeing Winding Road and this video. I am disappointed that I can't view it in full screen mode. It is to small to enjoy at all. Being a newbie perhaps I will find a way to bring it up full screen as I anticipate there will be more enticing video to watch in the future.
