The most Exciting Creation by Mankind !

The Nissan GTR35

The GTR35 is one of the best performance and looking cars that money can buy and when i say money i mean cheap money. This car costs less than a tenth of a Bugatti Veyron and despite that has still beaten it by half a second around the Nurburgring. Watching the new Nissan GT-R’s reflection rippling across the surface of yet another mirror-windowed office block, it looks a world away from the bluntly functional exterior of the old R34 Skyline. The new car’s performance should be sensational, but for the first time this is a GT-R than can be craved at a standstill as well as at full tilt.

It is brilliantly and unashamedly Japanese in its design – a German or French manufacturer just wouldn’t make a car look like this. With its bold lines and riot of creases, it fits into the Tokyo atmosphere perfectly, yet it’s also aerodynamically tidy, with a drag coefficient of Cd 0.27.

It was a big and imposing car when I saw it for the first time yesterday, sitting in a showroom, but it looks even bigger and more imposing amongst the traffic today. Hiroshi Hasegawa, the car’s designer, says he took inspiration from robots, armour and the B-2 stealth bomber. Certainly if you saw one in your rear-view mirror closing you down quickly, xenon eyes boring through you, you’d get out of its way sharpish

Nissan has bartered its way to 473bhp at 6400rpm by claiming that the GT-R is now much, much harder to tune thanks to clever ECU trickery. They've also ditched the ceramic turbos for faster-spinning steel items. The idea is to make Japan’s roads safer by stopping backstreet tuners creating bonkers cars like they did with the last car, where on occasions the engine was upgraded to 800bhp but the standard brakes remained.

Not that there should be as much call to tune this new GT-R. Nissan claims that it will launch from a standstill to 62mph in just 3.6sec. It’s no coincidence that Porsche claims 3.7sec for the Tiptronic S 997 Turbo (the manual Turbo is another 0.2sec slower).
