The GT-R badge was used for the first time in 1969 when Nissan released the 2.0-liter Nissan Skyline.

The Nissan GT-R R35 was presented at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007 and entered the European market one year later.
The all new GT-R’s engine was hand-built by only 4 mechanics that were specially trained to do this.

The engines were a 6-cylinder twin turbo V6 with 480 hp that rocketed the GT-R to 100 kph in just 3.6 seconds. And guess what, it only took 37 meters for the car to come to a full stop. The car had a top speed of 193 mph.

The supercar had a dual-clutch transmission that was based on the Formula 1 technology. The GT-R was offered with an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive.

With all its characteristics pointing to a track car, Nissan let the buyers know that the GT-R is suitable for different types of roads and could be driven by anyone due to its automatic transmission, and moreover, it had no problem being in the traffic. It had a reduced fuel consumption if the Race mode was not activated.

The exterior design indicated a heavy, muscular car – which was true – but was designed with an extreme attention to every line, and even the side mirrors were built to channel the air to the rear spoiler.

A supercar is expected to perform impeccably while high-speed-cornering, but the GT-R was extremely fast in straight lines as well.
