Battle of Speed: Master Sushi Chef Hiroyuki Terada takes on the Nissan GT-R NISMO

World-renowned Master Sushi Chef Hiroyuki Terada is always up for a high-performance challenge. In late July, he tested his skills against the legendary Nissan GT-R NISMO.

Much like the GT-R, Terada, known as "Chef Hiro," is a high performer. The Japanese sushi chef is a YouTube sensation with more than 1.7 million subscribers to his cooking channel, Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef. Terada shares his culinary expertise in videos teaching how to roll sushi, filet fish, serve sea urchin and even prepare iguana.

In 2017, he set a Guinness World Records title for chopping the most carrot slices blindfolded in 30 seconds live on Chef Gordon Ramsey's television show "The F Word."

To truly challenge the talents of the race contenders, race car driver and MOTOR1 Senior Editor Jeff Perez was asked to get behind the wheel of a 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Terada sharpened his sushi knives.

A battle of speed ensued.

Terada first fell in love with the "Hakosuka" Skyline GT-R in the 1990s and remains an enthusiast of the 565-horsepower sports car today.

"This is exactly my dream car," said Terada. "The Nissan GT-R is a high-performance car, and this is the NISMO version. I hope I could have this one in the future."

Terada's dream sushi roll? The Rainbow Roll.

"It's a simple California Roll with several different fish on it," Terada said. "Color wise, it's very beautiful."

The first challenge: Can Terada roll four California sushi rolls in the time it takes the Nissan GT-R NISMO to take one lap around the road course at the Homestead-Miami Speedway? How many rolls can he eat in that time frame?

Impressed by Terada's ability to break a Guinness World Record live on TV, Nissan wanted to see if the master sushi chef could do it again. But this time, he'd perform the task on the racetrack with a GT-R NISMO zooming by as the final buzzer.
