But needless to say all hell breaks loose when he steps on the throttle. Instantly the car takes on a totally different persona, the sound intensifying as the external wastegate begins to scream. From 5,000 rpm to 8,000 rpm the RB pulls unrelentingly, only the gearshifts momentarily pausing the acceleration. It's around 11 pm and we're travelling on a strip of brand-new, three-laned highway that will eventually connect Kyoto to the city of Osaka... it's also completely deserted. Yamamoto-san takes full advantage of this and uses the available space to his advantage, tackling wide-sweeping corners at around 260 km/h (+160mph) as we hang on for dear life. We get a full sample of the car's capabilities as Yamamoto-san takes 5th gear close to the limiter and the speedometer's needle goes well past 280 km/h (+170mph), at which point the highway ends and we head back to the shop on normal roads. Though mild as it may appear, this R34 is far from it.</p>
