This car eats Porsches for breakfast, Ferraris for lunch and Lamborghinis for dinner. =) The Nissan GT-R is a sports car produced by Nissan, released in Japan on December 6, 2007, the United States on July 4, 2008, and the rest of the world in March 2009.
[Image]Two nights ago, this was spotted in my house. =P
I was surprised to find the GTR’s headlights were only xenon on the low beam. Otherwise the exterior and styling was spot-on: butch without being too boy-racer, save for the hideous spoiler. The car conveyed a sense of authority, regardless of the mechanicals or the silly wing on the back.[Image]A true beauty, a true master of its class.
Nissan claims the GT-R can reach a top speed of 311 km/h (193 mph), Motor Trend recorded a top speed of 195.0 mph (313.8 km/h). It has been tested to achieve 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times as low as 3.2 seconds with "launch control"[27] and 3.8 seconds without (improved to 3.5 seconds in models produced since March 2009). Nissan's chief vehicle engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno has indicated that he has never used the term "launch control", which refers to the act of turning off vehicle dynamic control (VDC) and launching the car at around 4500 rpm.
[Image]It doesnt sound that loud (for this one especially..) though.
With a super-stiff bodyshell (at 1,740kg, the Nissan weighs 155kg more than a 911 Turbo), it’s also secure and extremely stable on the road. It has tremendous turn-in, the meaty steering is well weighted, if short on feedback, and thanks to the hi-tech four-wheel-drive system, you can get on the power early to pull you out of corners.
[Image]A Nissan GT-R is a perfect example of a monstrous superstar.
[Image]The Nissan GT-R is a high-performance sports car available only in coupe form with a 2+2 seating layout. Two trim levels are offered: base and Premium. The base model comes standard with 20-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, Brembo brakes, an electronically adjustable suspension, leather/faux suede upholstery, power front seats, Bluetooth, keyless ignition/entry, automatic climate control and a six-speaker CD/MP3 sound system with satellite radio.
[Image]The GT-R’s interior is not very impressive. The inside is midline Japanese sedan, with full electronics and decent bucket seats. The ergonomics are spot on; the knob for seat adjustment is intuitive and the padded steering wheel is perfectly positioned for max track attack. There are back seats, but only in the sense of “back.” Still, obviously, the GT-R is all about the driving.
[Image]The dashboard - looking pretty simple. =P
[Image]You could comfortably revv to 7,000rpm without much hassle. =P
[Image]Some random gauges. =D
