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.

1. There is no such thing as a Nissan Skyline R35 GT-R . The successor the the Skyline name is the Infiniti G35
2. The GT-R R35 is an AWD car from Nissan that is a 4 door paddle shifting car and great performer. While not as fast as the Z06 on the straights it is proven to beat the Z06 on numerous track courses. Also rated 6th on Nurburgring beating out numerous cars to include the Ferrari Enzo and the Porsche 911 Turbo. It has 480hp the 3.8L V6 twin turbo VR38DETT engine. It has numerous settings and controls to improve performance on the road. This car has received much hail and much hatred from critics. Its may not be the fastest car, it may not be the best looking car but it is a great car all around.

A sports car from Japan that's more expensive than a Chevrolet Corvette Z06, slower than a Z06, plus heavier and more boring-looking.
Recommended for Japanese people who want a car with an engine that can take years of blunt abuse before eventually breaking down, and can also be "upgraded" with the use of Naaawws cold fusion systems (something no sensible muscle car owner would ever consider doing).

-Japanse guy: Hey pal, the Nissan Skyline R35 GT-R is the greatest sports car ever! Mine has a Naaawws cold fusion system installed and a cool new spoiler (plus a dragon painted on the door)
-American muscle car owner: How 'bout a race with my Vette Z06?
-Japanese guy: Ehmm... not now, i 've just spent all my Naaaws bottles in the previous race with that Viper (which I lost), plus the fact my engine is steaming smoke from burned out parts right now

The absolute coolest car in existence, way cooler than any Bugatti Veyron or Chiron, Koenigsegg, Pagani, Lamborghini or Ferrari model. If you own one of these extremely rare cars, your life is complete.
The R34 in Fast and Furious isn't as powerful as this car.
An even faster version of the V-spec II especially tuned to master the Nurburgring, therefore the name.
If an R34 is illegal in the US, This certain model is beyond the name Illegal.

Non-car guy: - Oh look, It's a GT-R!!
Car guy: - It's a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-spec II Nur
Non-car guy: - Well i'm just gonna keep calling it GT-R, lmao
