A sharp right turn looms dangerously close and you’re traveling about 50 MPH too fast for a safe transition. Physics are against you as the rear attitude of your Switzer-tuned Nissan GT-R yaws to the right whereas it should be radically left. Overzealous on the throttle after the long left sweeper, only a carefully controlled slide will save your hide now. You pitch the wheel right and apply a sharp stab on the accelerator. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, the genius differentials work their magic and spread the new energy towards all the right vectors. The heavyweight hypercar rotates clockwise in preparation for the immediate turn while you’re fighting the precision wheel with instinctive, twitching movements. No time stumble through the traction circle in your head now. Even in laissez-faire R-mode, the dynamic stability control works diligently to keep everything in order while you’re sailing through the tight, flat bend sideways. The more mild-mannered P700 –- developing only 626 HP at the wheels –- rattled off a no-launch-control 0-60 time of 3.35 seconds and a 1/4 Mile of 11.28 seconds at 132 MPH. Here with more boost and up over 74 HP, the as-yet-untimed P800 should do even better.

A flat foot on the gas then a pull on the right paddle and you’re back in the triple digits. 110 MPH. Audacious power like you’ve never experienced grips your chest. The straight hugs gently left to follow the curvature of the landscape — but not enough to deter you from your pursuit of ultimate speed. 130 MPH. The small white braking markers register on your radar, but, if you remember one thing from driving school, it’s that you brake too damn early anyways. 145 MPH. You’re rocketing past the 200m mark and still flat out. You’re even with the 100m mark and threshold braking for your life. The delicate ballet of velocity and balance repeats itself and you manage to make it through yet another hectic turn. On the exit, you lay into the pedal and you’re gone.
