Nissan's most powerful car the Skyline GT-R. And ironically was not first created by Nissan but by Prince Motor Company. And sometime after Nissan merged with Prince Motor that they further developed the car and gave it its GT-R status. The R32 to R34 series as most people associate the name "Skyline GT-R" to. Because the R32 GT-R series was the car (after many years) that the general public too notice to the Skyline series once again. One of the events that gave the Skyline GT-R R32 its fame is at the Nuremberg Ring. And as a tribute Nissan released the final Skyline GT-R as the Skyline GT-R NUR-spec or as it is more common known as the Skyline GT-R V-spec II. When Nissan was developing a Skyline that is worthy to bear the title of GT-R after over a decade of inactivity (the R32 series) the scientist took the motto "Without Compromise" to heart and made the R32 GT-R to exceed in speed, handling, and luxury. As Skyline enthusiast will know, the Skyline GTR is a car of potential. One of the features that the Skyline GT-R is most known about is its ATTESA-ETS system. This system combines the best of FR and AWD to give the car the best handling and speed. In which case the word "GT-R" mean Grand Tour Racing and is a title only given to the most powerful of cars.

The GT-R name first came out as a trim level on the Skyline 2000 which was called the Skyline 2000 GT-R. The Nissan Skyline GT-R was never brought to America and so you couldn't buy a Skyline GT-R until they were at least 25 years old. Later Skyline GT-Rs came with a turbocharged RB26DETT inline-six engine making around 290-320 horsepower and the ATTESA E-TS four wheel drive system. The GT-R name was put to rest after the Skyline GT-R (R34) because Nissan was in major debt. After the Nissan Revival Plan, Nissan started on a new GT-R. This time the GT-R was its own model instead of a trim level. This GT-R had a turbocharged V6 engine called the VR38DETT making 480 horsepower and all-wheel-drive on release (2008). The 2019 GT-R is much more powerful with its VR38DETT being pushed to 565 horsepower and with a Nismo version that has 600 horsepower. The regular GT-R stock can go from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds while the Nismo version can go from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. This car can reach a top speed of 196 mph or 315 kph. With a price of $100,000 the GT-R is a bargain, any car with similar performance are much more expensive while any car near its price are blown away from its performance.
The Nissan GT-R is a high performance sports car.
