Nissan GT-R, "Godzilla" (R35)

As of the last few years and especially in the last year/few months I have been obsessed with all things   "GT-R" (R35), the car of my dreams! so I have decided to dedicate a blog post for the Nissan GTR.

(07/08 Nissan GT-R)

(2013 Nissan GT-R)

A nickname given to the GT-R as seen in the title is "Godzilla", the reason to me for such a name is derived from the GT-R's big size and weight :

Length: 4655 mm (183.3 in)

Width: 1895 mm (74.6 in)

Height: 1370 mm (53.9 in)

Weight: 1740 KG (3800 lb)

These stats seeming to be ineffective at making the performance of the car sluggish! but in fact helping keep the car hugged to the ground for better traction etc... overall the Nissan GT-R has an overwhelming amount of power even for its bulky size and weight!

The GT-R was produced/made in Tochigi, Japan, by Nissan, it was first released in Japan on December 6th, 2007, and in the United States on JULY 7TH, 2008 and then later released to the rest of the automotive world on March 2009, the car its self  being a front engined all-wheel drive 

(starts in rear wheel drive, changing to AWD to counter wheel spin) 3.8 litre VR38DETT twin turbo V6 six speed automatic dual clutch transmission.

From the first models in 2007 up to present and beyond to 2013, the Nissan engineers have increased and tweaked the GT-R's performance from around 480 hp in 07/08 to the present running at around 550 hp, these changes in horsepower and tweaked performance have made the car increasingly better every year! Not to mention its price is tiny compared to the cars it is compare to performance wise!

The GT-R has been a rival for the super cars of other automotive companies such as Lamborghini and Porsche etc... since its creation/release in 07/08. Because of the cars amazing performance, many aftermarket companies have invested in the GT-R to use as their race cars and see what kind of power they can squeeze out or add with their own performance GT-R aftermarket parts. A good example of a company doing this is Greddy Performance,

I would love to one day own one or drive one of these amazing cars! It truly is a Godzilla in the automotive world, I wish to one day have a GT-R with "Flatline Precision Motorworks" across the sides and everywhere else!

The GT-R is truly an amazing car and has won numerous awards including Top Gears: Super car of the year on the year of its release etc... since its release in 2007, (it is the car Batman would drive if he were real) Nissan has definitely outdone itself and the 2013 GT-R is set to be even better, the car is sure to win many more awards and races throughout the rest of its lifespan!
