Nissan Skyline GT-R

Nissan Skyline GT-R

The Nissan Skyline GT-R. A contemporary living legend and a tale to frighten Porsche drivers with. Shown here in its current R-34 incarnation and V-Spec guise, the only car to set an unofficial lap time of under 8 minutes at Germany's notorious Nurburgring, leaving many of the world's top marques standing. Powered by a 2.6 litre twin turbocharged straight six engine and also featuring 4-wheel drive and rear wheel steering. In addition, if the rear wheels should lose grip, a system called "ATTESSA ETS PRO" (which stands for, wait for it, Electronic Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split...phew!) will automatically divert torque to the front wheels! A truly phenomenal vehicle.
