Nissan GT-R

Fuel consumption 10.7 – 14.5 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 73%(view ratings)
Nicknamed “Godzilla,” the GT-R is a sacred Japanese monster that you either love or hate. It boasts a twin-turbo, 3.8L V6 with 565 horsepower and 467 lb·ft of torque, sophisticated all-wheel drive, a six-speed twin-clutch gearbox, advanced electronics and 20-inch wheels. The GT-R is all intimidation and potential, as evidenced by a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds completed effortlessly using its launch mode. It’s back unchanged for 2018—and that’s fine with us!
