A month or two back the car you are looking at set a new world record for high speed drifting. On a smooth, extremely wide runway in Dubai, with a Japanese gentleman called Masato Kawabata at the wheel, this highly modified, half-a-million-Pound Nissan GT-R travelled for some 50 metres going completely sideways – at a measured angle of over 30 degrees from dead ahead – at an average speed of just over 190mph.
