The only thing faster that the plummeting Russian Ruble is this Russian Nissan R35 GT-R…. and with the effects of cheap crude and sanctions, that’s saying a mouthful. The Gosha Turbo Tech GT-R is the quickest in Europe. Generating a blistering 7.81-second quarter mile at 287 km/h (178.33 mph) this thing stings more than frost bite in the Siberian outback.

The Nissan is said to flex four-digit power and it’s less than the blink of an eye behind the world’s quickest GT-R, the AMS Performance R35 that has clocked out at 7.7 seconds. The Gosha Turbo Tech Nissan made its historic pass at a big event in Greece and, as the accompanying timeslip illustrates, this is one brutally quick car… a 1.20-seond 60-foot on standard issue Mickey Thompson street legal rubber. Such emphatic low-end grunt would be the envy of many a purpose built drag car. Peel away the vinyl, swap on the rear Ray’s Engineering rims and the Nissan could masquerade as a grocery getter in Moscow. Stay tuned for more drama and maybe some specs from this wicked Nissan GT-R.
