Look at that machine! Yes, the Nissan GT-R has now arrived firmly in my neighbourhood. The four exhaust, 3.6 secs to 60 monster was on a pedestal at a local dealership, alongside a new Nissan 370Z. Both nice cars, but it was a bit silly to put them side by side when the GT-R (Godzilla) looks so damn impressive. So, what’s my initital thoughts?
- The Nissan GT-R is a lot bigger than I thought it was
- It’s quite a wide car, with huge presence
- The alloys in black that are wrapped in some serious rubber look better than just about any others I’ve seen on any car
- The interior shows a speedo with a max of 220mph – oh yes!
- Angles, angles and angles – the car has a lot of them which gives a menacing look
- Even the lights are stylish
- The interior is far better than commentators will have you believe
It was a huge surprise seeing a Nissan GT-R (actually, I saw 3 of them) in the flesh, as it were. But, it was brilliant and made my day. Yes, I desperately want one. I’ve been promised by a relative that if he wins the lottery he’ll buy me the car. I did hear though that they’re already sold out for a couple of months. Oh well, I guess I can continue to dream about owning ‘Godzilla’.

You can keep your Ferraris and Lamborghinis, this true Japanese supercar is a match for just about anything else – even the hypercars that cost 5x as much. I got goosebumps seeing it, that’s the power it has.
