The Abomination


No car has ever been so accomplished in both technological and performance aspects as the Nissan GT-R. It has set a new standard for sportscar production, not just because it is phenomenally fast, capable and approachable, but also because it’s not actually that expensive. Porsche, Ferrari, Aston? There’s no longer any need. It's become an abomination to the sportscar industry.

The GT-R's powerhouse produces a staggering 470bhp being sent to all four wheels via a semi-automatic dual clutch gearbox. This means 0-60mph in around 3.5 seconds and a top speed not far shy of 200mph, which is stunningly fast. There's no doubt that this abomination shakes the supercar world that's been dominated by Porsches, Ferraris, Astons and Zondas.
