Every now and then we stumble upon incredible races between unusual opponents! We must admit however, that we have never seen anything like this before! Drones have been really popular as of late, and someone thought it would be great to use them for racing! To make things much better, the drone you will see is racing one of the best racing cars in the world, a 2017 Nissan GT-R! The drone was built by Nissan in order to test their newest GT-R model! It can go from 0 to 60mph in 1.3 seconds! We admit that this is an excellent way of testing out a car! Furthermore, we guarantee you that this Silverstone race is probably the most unique one you will ever see! The 2017 Nissan GT-R is driven by professional Nissan driver Ricardo Sanchez, while the fastest drone in the world is controlled by James Bowles, who happens to be a drone racing champion.
The 2017 Nissan GT-R is powered by a 3.8 litre twin turbo V6 engine that has a whopping 562hp! Its opponent, the GT-R drone, has a lithium polymer 6s battery with 1400mah. The top speed of the fastest drone is an impressive 114mph, while the 2017 Nissan GT-R can speed up to 195 miles per hour! While there is a big difference in top speed, there are other things that need to be taken into consideration. The GT-R drone is really light, and weighs only 1.5lb!
It needs only 1 foot of space in order to turn a full circle. This cannot be said for the 2017 Nissan GT-R, which needs 40 feet of space for a full circle, and weighs 3860lbs. How well will the drone use its advantage in this race? You will have to watch the video to find out!
