SH-AWD tested against the best of the best

Can you believe this.....I'm a huge GTR34 fan and I'm still shocked. Is all for the good. Both cars were stock with 280hp except the GTR34 has twin turbo. Legend (japan spec is 280hp)

The GTR34 was design in 97 against a 2005 legend. I can't wait to see what nissan comes up with next.

The author of the article says he has been tracking the development of the RL/Legend since a development prototype was tested at the Nürburgring last year. According to the article, an RL/Legend test mule with a prototype SH-AWD sytstem was tested at the 'Ring against a Skyline GT-R. The article states that the RL's lap times consistently bested the GT-R. The author makes the statement that the SH-AWD's performance dynamics are so innovative that he's convinced current systems from Nissan's GT-R, Subaru's Imprezza (WRX), and Mitsubishi's Lancer - leaders in AWD technology, are a step behind. He goes further and suggests that SH-AWD's performance handling dynamics are so groundbreaking that it threatens to surpass BMW's M5 class (hmmm - we shall see).

I hope this system appears on the TL ASAP
