Earlier this year, Nissan's lap times around the Nurburgring were so far ahead of any of Porsche's contenders that the Stuttgart manufacturer accused Nissan of not being completely honest about the GT-R's lap time.
The National Geographic documentary also deals with the driving force behind the creation of the GT-R, such as its designers, engineers and the man who saw it through from the drawing board all the way to production reality, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. There is also a segment about Japan's illegal street racing culture, and the status of the GT-R within that tightly knit circle.
