Nissan GT-R Drone Races An Actual Nissan GT-R (Video)

The 2017 Nissan GT-R is wickedly fast and wildly cool; nothing else in the Nissan library can keep up with such a machine – nothing with four wheels that is.

Meet the wickedly fast and wildly cool GT-R Drone, a lightning quick First Person View flyer. World Drone Prix Champions, Tornado XBlades Racing, designed the GT-R Drone with race inspired dynamics.
Quick is a vast understatement for the pint-sized flyer – it hits 62 mph in just 1.3 seconds.

These attributes allow both to sprint on straightaways and slither through corners.

Nissan pitted the two against each other on a specially made, 1.2-mile course on the Silverstone Circuit in the United Kingdom. NISMO driver Ricardo Sanchez drove the GT-R and James Bowles, the 2015 British National Drone Racing champion, piloted the GT-R Drone.
