XCAR — Nissan GT-R R35 Egoist in Tokyo

With aggressive muscle styling on the outside and a video game inspired interior the Nissan GT-R is a supercar for the Playstation generation. With design based on a Manga robot series and a cabin loaded with tech designed by the creators of the Gran Turismo video games the Nissan GT-R couldn’t be more Japanese if it tried. This 1750 Kg lump of muscle will set you back around £75,000 but boasts performance of a car over twice that. The GT-R will get you to 62 mph in under 3 seconds if you use launch control and will almost hit 200 mph if you keep your foot down. It gets its power from a 3.8 litre turbocharged V6 kicking out 542 bhp. You might be forgiven for thinking the super advanced four wheel drive system and the 6-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox gearbox take some of the skill out of performance driving, and to a certain extent that is true, but when you can leave virtually any Italian or German purebred in the dust you won’t hear any arguments from us.
