Weekend Featured Review: 2012 Nissan GT-R

2012 Nissan GT-R
Its another weekend car review. I randomly featured cars from Europe and the US (not much on US yet). This time, i will feature a popular car in Japan which is made by Nissan Motors. This is the first time i will feature Japan brand car and will feature more of its popular super cars.

The Nissan GT-R is a supercar produced by Nissan released in Japan initially in 2007, introduced and released in United States in 2008, and the rest of the world in March 2009.

Trivia: Between 1969 and 1974, and again between 1989 and 2002, Nissan produced a high performance version of its Skyline range called the Nissan Skyline GT-R. This car proved to be iconic for Nissan and achieved much fame and success on road and track. The Nissan GT-R, although no longer carrying the "Skyline" badge, has heritage in the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Like the Skyline GT-Rs R32 through R34, the Nissan GT-R is all-wheel drive with a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine; however, the evolutionary, incremental changes between Skyline models R32 through R34 have been done away with.

Here's my shared car (video) review of Nissan GT-R by Motor Trend for more information on its actual performance and features. Enjoy watching!
