Video: Nissan GT-R takes to the snow

Nissan’s ATTESA four-wheel-drive system is one of the most sophisticated traction systems in the auto world and after watching this video you’ll begin to realize why it’s won so many accolades over the years. The GT-R in this clip is being pushed along a snow-laden track with some decent pace but there’s never any sign the driver is out of control at any point. Follow the jump for the full video or click here to read our previous story on the GT-R for all the details.

    I'd buy a Subaru If I wanted to drive fast in the Snow. This car will never see the Snow If purchased by Americans. Stop playing games Nissan and put this car on the track next to a Z06 and lets see who wins. The very thought of a 3800lb AWD car(GT-R), lining up next to a 3200lb RWD car(ZO6) with almost equal power ratings beating the lighter car to a 1/4 mile is BS period.

    I don't care who you are, that's nuts.
    You never know if just a little bit too much (speed or power) will have you into the trees, and with such a valuable car, you will be hating life.
    If this was on a track with nothing but snow covered grass on the edges I could see having fun, with nothing more than a tow truck required to bring your car back on the road, maybe a broken airdam at the worst.
    And I know, this is the supercar to end all supercars, but this car was driven on the edge of it's traction, and no matter how good the car or driver is, it boils down to rubber and snow (or ice) and unless it has a force field or some quantum anti-gravity steering system I don't know about, a tree will always win...

    And as an aside, if this was a two way road with pedestrians, shame on the driver for taking chances like that.

    Lol the vdc is switched off so the car is not even showing off its full computerised 4wd system.
