The new Skyline R35, no wait scrap that, Nissan officially calls it the GT-R. A road-going coupe with the computing capacity which rivals most humans i know. This is not a car, just like it's predecessors it wasn't really design to compete with any rivals on the market, nope instead this was made to be a very expensive playstation. Other common traits it shares with its older brother is the magnificent all-wheel drive system, but there the similarities end, the new GT-R has a newer engine with one of the worlds most complicated turbocharger system, a trick all wheel drive system controlled by that huge IQ computer, a better weight distribution, newer suspension and loads more equipment which will put shame to a Jet Fighter.





















To be honest, i've always been a fan of all GT-Rs. I love the sheer lunacy of it and it's unorthodox design and it's unbelievable potential. The old RB26 engines could be tuned to produce up to 1000BHP. Blitz Japan even made one go at 348km/h (they dubbed it R348). i also have to confess, the new GT-R is not in anyway sedated and i wont bore you with 0-100km figures, or horsepower output or torque, this car, well it's not just a new Skyline, no. This is a baby Veyron.




















i don't care what you have parked in your drive-way because on the track and the open road, the new GT-R would blitz through you like your standing still. Nothing, not AMGs, not BMW Ms, not Porsches nor Ferrari. Nothing else would be this good with this price tag. Only one question lingers in my head again and again right now, "Why do you need supercars? There's just no point anymore..."
