2010 Nissan GT-R

Nissan's newest addition to their mighty GT-R racing history is none other than the phenomenal R35 GT-R . Despite the minority disliking it, as minimal skill is required since the mighty computer is doing all the work, there is always a handful of enthusiasts raving about it.

Not forgetting the fact that this GT-R has a twin-turbo 3.8 litre V6, this monster also produces 530 brake horsepower and 612 N-m of torque from 3200 to 6000 rpm. The GT-R is proven to be capable of accomplishing 0 to 100km/h in a breathtaking 3.2 seconds using "Launch Control". Moreover, Nissan has claimed that the GT-R will reach a top speed of 311km/h - a truly incredible feat.

Particularly, Nissan has executed a faultless job with the cosmetics. The front features a large air intake with the traditional "GTR" badge plastered on, while the hood boasts of two miniature air vents - both allowing the escape of excess heat. On top of that, the rear carries on its iconic four tail-lights (as shown on previous Skyline GTR models) but this time, with the twin exhaust on each side - enhancing the aggressive-looking stance of the car.

Upon first peek at the GT-R's interior, there is a lack of luxe material one would usually observe in an Aston Martin or Bentley. As if making up for it, the GT-R has an LCD screen that not only controls every function of the car, but it also provides the user with technical information. Keeping in mind that the steering wheel, upholstery, console and the dashboard will only be of fairly basic detail; the price is ultimately paid for performance.

In my opinion, I am not too fond of the Nissan badge, although the engineering of the GT-R is surprisingly notable in today's competitive array of super-cars.
