Watch the Nissan GT-R Face a Drone on a Race Track
The 2017 Nissan GT-R received the biggest update since the model debuted, but is it good enough to beat a racing drone at the track?
The Japanese automaker has released a new video pitting the latest iteration of its sports car against a “GT-R Drone” at Silverstone in the U.K. Nissan says that “it’s not the fairest of fights,” but if you’ve been keeping an eye on drone racing, you’d know that drones can be pretty quick and agile.

Of course the goal of the video is to see which of the two are faster, and the result really isn’t that surprising considering Nissan sells cars and not drones. But as the company says, neither is too shabby in the acceleration department.
Now the real question is, how affordable is that GT-R Drone and how do we get our hands on one?
