I've always liked the GTR, and if my numbers came up, I would like to own one. But part of the appeal comes from the giant-slaying angle that the comparatively low list price helps create. At this price it feels like a very different proposition.

GTR feels very dated, roll on the all the 2018 model with kers.

The last 4 years have done nothing for the GTR , it's dated and now also does not keep with the super cars it once did and was it's trick. ie it was faster than a 458, sls, Porsche turbo etc and now it's slower than all the new models of those cars by quite a margin.

Add in the GTR price rise and I wonder who buys them these days @ £82k with Recaro's, £92k for the track pack !

Give me a proper supercar McLaren any day
As much as this is a bit of a trolly post, I have to say I agree.

One of the big strengths for me about the GT-R was that it was a giant killer. When I had an R34 GT-R it bested many much more expensive cars, was very easy to modify for even more ridiculous figures, etc. The R35 GT-R when it first came out was more of the same. Porsche++ beating non-super-supercar for half the price. That was its USP really, in my opinion anyway.

I can sortof understand £70k GT-Rs, even though they're in a much more rarefied atmosphere at that level, and competing with marques that are more aspirational, but £150k for a GT-R is utterly bonkers. It's as simple as that.

The Nissann GTR is unreliable ask me how I know I own one and the Transmission failed at 40,138 miles and Nissan can't repair it but want to replace the tranny at a cost of $18,000 plus Car never launched or abused. They can't repair but they want to replace the tranny with a new one for this crazy amount of money.Nissan is junk
even the stereo system failed in the car what a piece of crap they should give these cars away for free with all the issues they have just google Nissan GTR and see all the issues Don't buy one unless you want more problems than you have ever had in your life with a car. This one will be for sales as soon as they can get it to go in gear again. Took to the dealer and took it off the tow truck once they drove it into the service bay and dropped the transmission oil pan down to check it it would not drive any longer cost me 1034.00 just for them to look at it and tell me it needs a new transmission what a rip off.
I will never buy another Nissan in life again and will make sure no one else I know buys one either.
Can't be quicker than anything if it will not go into gear.

I think you've forgot the 7:08 nurburgring lap, faster than any 911 ever, including the current GT3 RS smile

Pick one =)

The GTR is a hugely impressive bit of kit, but it's about as subtle as a fart in a lift.

Nissan GTR:-
  • 0-60mph: 2.9 seconds
  • 0-100mph: 6.6 seconds
Ferrari 458:-
  • 0-60mph: 2.8 seconds
  • 0-100mph: 6.0 seconds
AMG GT S:-
  • 0-60: 3.0 seconds
  • 0-100mph: 6.9 seconds
Porsche 991 Turbo (non S):-
  • 0-60mph: 3.0 seconds
  • 0-100mph: 6.6 seconds
Your right, that's some margin! Worth bearing in mind that the GTR is 78% (£102,814.00) cheaper than a 488, 31% (£30,150.00) cheaper than the AMG and 45% (£46,930.00) cheaper than the 991 rolleyes
