With these benchmarks: a conservatively rated 480 hp. 430 lb-ft of tire-smoking torque. Zero to 60 mph in a tick more than three seconds. Yup 3.1 sec. A top speed of 193 mph. But the fun of the GT-R produces getting from point A to point B is priceless. We're talking about hardcore acceleration and the paddleshift through the dual-clutch gearbox is like Grand Turismo XXX in real life. The brakes will stop this thing on a dime. The All-wheel drive translates into super sticky traction and boy, do we need that at these speed. All this for just $77,840, which is a fire-sale price by exotic standards and can be the car to own in this economy. Imagine that an MSRP of $77k for a performance of a Porsche 997 Turbo and Lambo Gallardo. True it is not Italian and German but the GTR is not to be dismissed.
A little history, the GT-R's debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007 was scheduled to dovetail with its appearance in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Or that the GT5 designers helped create the slick graphical readouts featured on eleven screens of not especially useful but amazingly cool data ranging from lateral and longitudinal g's to front and rear torque distribution. So get one of those GT5 games for you car Enthusiast. Kudos for Automobile for naming this the 2009 Car of the Year. Godzilla is finally here and making an impact
