Thumbs up National Geographics GT-R build documentary

about a 45min vid but well worth the watch...

The film presents a behind-the-scenes look at the development of Nissan's new model of the Skyline GT-R, the Japanese manufacturer's famed "supercar". Featuring interviews with Nissan CEO Carlos Goshn and lead designer Shiro Nakamura, with never-before-seen footage of the company's high-security Zama design center and top secret Sendai test track, Inside Supercar follows the entire development cycle: from concept to clay model to test drives to full-scale production.

National Geographic sure knows how to drum up the drama. Great video; I particularly liked the street footage of the older GT-Rs.

...mikez, what in the world is your avatar supposed to be? (I can read Chinese)

Can you tell me the pin yin for those 3 words? I can read chinese too just really rusty. But I think the image is from some Japanese cartoon so most likely what it means (or doesnt mean anything) in Chinese is not the actual meaning.

it doesn't mean anything in chinese, but when you pronounce it, it means "stop it" in japanese. those are chinese characters though.

this video is lame, imo.
all they talk about is how the boss made it.
no credits to the workers and engineers.
