"The lap record at the N\u00FCrburgring might have a new name next to it, as Nissan hopes to break it with the 2014 NISMO GT-R. The record currently stands at 6 minutes and 57 seconds,  set earlier this year by the Porsche 918.  Spy photographers spotted a new GT-R prototype lapping the ring, complete with a ludicrous spoiler and a few other aero tweaks. Interestingly enough, engineers covered the supercar&amp;#039;s headlights with stickers to mask the light arrays below. Expect to see a new headlight design in action on the production car soon.  So far, Porsche is the only company to break the seven-minute barrier with a production car - a statistic that Nissan hopes to change. Nissan has over a 20-second hill to climb after their last attempt with the GT-R, which was clocked at 7:18.6. Any predictions for how the NISMO GT-R will fare this time around? Check out the video below.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
