Nicknamed "Godzilla" The Nissan GT-R earned the nickname “Godzilla” in the late 1980s, after the R32 Skyline GT-R dominated Australian touring car racing.
First GT-R Not Part of the Skyline Series The R35 GT-R, launched in 2007, was the first GT-R not branded as a Skyline, establishing itself as a standalone supercar killer.
Hand-Built Twin-Turbo V6 Engine The 3.8L twin-turbocharged V6 (VR38DETT) is hand-assembled by Takumi master craftsmen in a special clean room at Nissan’s Yokohama plant.
0-100 km/h in Under 3 Seconds With launch control and all-wheel drive, the GT-R can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds, rivaling much more expensive supercars.
Advanced ATTESA E-TS All-Wheel Drive System Unlike most sports cars, the GT-R features an intelligent AWD system, providing rear-wheel-drive dynamics when cruising and AWD grip when needed.
Dual-Clutch Transmission for Lightning-Fast Shifts The GT-R’s 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission delivers gear shifts in just 0.15 seconds, ensuring instant power delivery.
Designed with Aerodynamics in Mind The GT-R has a near-perfect 0.26 drag coefficient, allowing high-speed stability and reduced air resistance.
One of the Most Customizable Supercars Thanks to strong aftermarket support, GT-R owners can modify their cars to exceed 1,000+ horsepower, making it a favorite among tuners.
Has Held Nürburgring Records The GT-R has repeatedly set fastest lap times for production cars at the Nürburgring, showcasing its track-ready performance.
Continuously Updated Since 2007 Instead of major redesigns, Nissan has refined the GT-R for over 15 years, improving power, aerodynamics, and technology, keeping it competitive with modern supercars.

The R35 GT-R redefined supercar performance with its 3.8L twin-turbo V6, AWD grip, and Godzilla reputation. Now in its 15th year, early models are future classics, while later Nismo editions command supercar money.
