Motor Trend takes a Nissan GT-R to Alberta
The original Skyline was developed so that rich Japanese ranchers could herd their horses in comfort.
Nothing like a good road trip. Packing the kids into the minivan for hours of screaming, impromptu bathroom breaks, and spontaneous vomiting is what North America is built on. Somehow those seemingly endless hours sitting in the back third row of a Plymouth Voyager with 300,000kms on it will end up turning into some of our fondest childhood memories. (That's not just my childhood, but everyone's childhood who is between the ages of 25-25 right?)
In Motor Trend's case, because they have the best job IN THE WORLD, they can trade that Chrysler minivan for a Nissan GT-R, and really take a road trip.
Arthur St. Antoine takes a Nissan GT-R black edition through the province of Alberta and makes it all look sooo very good. the video starts off a little slowly, and has a lot of not so hidden marketing (though a lot of it is for Canada, so I'm okay with that. Insert 'merica type Canadian sentiment here)
Highlights of the video include a cave, a glacier, and driving the GT-R in a field. (Nissan if you ever need someone else to borrow one of your cars and drive it into a field, you still have my number from the restraining order.) Also during the road-trip, Motor Trend manages to close off the highest highway in Canada (surprisingly not in B.C.) and see what the GT-R can do on it. Watch it. Watch it NOW.
