A fast car needs to stay cool

Automotive excess or engineering pinnacles?

For those who want a bit more edge to their Chiron

In hindsight, it makes sense

Back in February, Nissan shared that it built a special tracking version of the GT-R for the sole purpose of filming, well, another GT-R. It's an impressive feat for the sake of what's essentially glorified marketing footage, and
