2009 Nissan GT-R R35 … Number 1 Sports Car
2009 International Car of the Year.
Nissan claims the GT-R can reach a top speed of 192 mph (309 km/h), Motor Trend recorded a top speed of 195.0 mph (313.8 km/h). It has been tested to achieve 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times as low as 3.2 seconds with launch control and 3.9 seconds without (improved to 3.5 seconds in models produced since March 2009). Autocar achieved a 0-100 mph (160 km/h) time of 8.5 seconds.
With a manufacturer claimed lap time of 7:26:7 min on standard Japanese market tires, the GT-R is currently one of the fastest production cars to lap the Nürburgring circuit.
The GT-R currently holds a lap time of 1:19.7 around the Top Gear Test Track, equalling that of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.
Road & Track were able to achieve quick lap times with the car on Buttonwillow Raceway, clocking in approximately 5 seconds faster than the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911 Turbo.
On Willow Springs International Motorsports Park, Edmunds were able to achieve lap times that were approximately 1 second slower than a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the GT-R.
Several automotive journalists, including Chris Harris of Autocar, Jethro Bovingdon of Evo, and Jason Barlow of Top Gear (magazine) have compared the GT-R to the Bugatti Veyron. Harris and Bovingdon both labeled the GT-R a “baby Veyron” in their respective comparison tests of the car.
The production version of the GT-R debuted at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, launching in the Japanese market on December 6, 2007. The U.S. official launch was 7 months later on July 07, 2008. Universal Nissan in Los Angeles provided a customer with the delivery of a new GT-R, fresh from the production line at 12:01 AM, on July 7, 2008. The Canadian launch was also in July 2008. Europe became the third consumer market, where it launched late in the year. The large disparity in initial marketing between these regional releases is due to Nissan having to build GT-R performance centers where the car is serviced. Also the engine and rear-mounted dual-clutch gearbox are built by hand, thus limiting production to around 1000 cars a month.

June 10th, 2009 at 1:08 amI love supercars …
June 10th, 2009 at 1:08 amI love supercars and all I do is compare the GTR to EVERYTHING. NO car in the world can touch this for price and performance, everything is 20-140,000 more than this why buy them? I’ll tell you the badge, that’s it… The GTR is a car not a badge, the Americans hate it because it can keep up with the ZR1, and all other supercars they have. But instead of liking or loving it they need to hate it why? coz it’s not American… the europeans hate it coz there cars are OLD… Excellent vid though!

Personally I think …
June 10th, 2009 at 1:08 amPersonally I think it is the best car on the road for the money. Anyone can drive it. It has a back seat and a trunk. It’s super fast and has a non-reachable top speed unless your on a track. It looks awesome. It’s comfortable and in terms of a sportscar… it’s well priced.
