The GT-R is a car that defies all set rules associated with a performance car. The abilities of the GTR for the price that it commands are extraordinary to say the least. The statistics of course are there, a 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 with 470bhp, a 0-100km/h time of just 3.5sec, a top speed of 310km/h (as claimed by Nissan) and a six-speed twin clutch gearbox with a four-wheel drive.

It actually 'knows' hundreds of famous racetracks around the world and can tweak its suspension settings for an optimum setup for the track. The UK, it is probably the most affordable supercar in the world. Ferrari, Porsche, Aston - who needs them anymore?
