Nissan GT-R

Nissan GT-R is a high-performance sports car for drivers who want hard acceleration, sharp grip, and the old supercar habit of feeling slightly serious even when standing still. By our assessment, its big strength is the way it turns raw pace into something comparatively approachable, helped by the GT-R's all-wheel-drive layout and electronics-heavy control systems. The trade-off is plain enough: this is a low, firm, expensive-to-run machine with a ride that asks more of rough roads than most daily cars do. In practice the Nissan GT-R is about fast exits, stable cornering, and a cabin that puts function ahead of charm. It sits against European performance cars and other modern exotics, but its reputation comes from being quicker and more mechanical in feel than its looks suggest. The ceiling is that it remains a specialist car, not a relaxed grand tourer.
