Chris Harris Takes out a Nissan GT-R and a BMW M5 – Fun Times Ensue

2012 Nissan GT-R R35 vs 2012 BMW M5

Chris Harris of Drive--and the other gentlemen like him, Jeremy Clarkson, and the world's great car reviewers--have the best possible job. Don't believe me? Well, sorry, you're wrong. For the most recent Chris Harris Reviews episode of Drive he was handed the keys to a 2012 BMW M5 and a 2012 Nissan GT-R R35 on a typical rainy day in England and told to have fun.

The GT-R R35 section of the video is an absolute joy to behold. Harris does what he can to overwork the GT-R's brilliant drivetrain and computer and the machine works, time and time again, to make things right for him. In fact, the car helps him drive almost perfectly. I love too how he addresses the standard knock on the GT-R: its lack of character. Harris points out how that statement couldn't be any further from the truth, which is a fact that every person who has ever been behind the wheel of an R35 can attest to.

Ultimately, Harris covers it all and I'd be doing his great video a disservice to detail it bit by bit, so I'll just post the video for you to watch and enjoy here, and leave you contemplating just how great it would be to have this job.
