I don't like the look of the Nismo, I think it looks too tarty and tupperwareish with the red skirts and ironing board on the boot. Over priced too.
It is what a range-topper is about though isn't it. Look at the Porsche GT3 RS. Very gaudy and loud. The Nismo looks conservative compared to that. deeps said:

I'd have to agree - the standard car (particularly in red) looks so good - the NISMO just looks too stick on and tbh "cheap"!!A lovely car but ...
A jumped up Datsun for £120k - what happened to nissan punching above its weight at half the price?? Even the beetle is losing its way at £145k and 1.6t :-(
There are lots and lots of much better secondhand cars at this price - 2010 Gtr for around £40k and turbo s for £80k for instance

Do you know what a Datsun is? Its nice of you to pay a complement though.A jumped up Datsun for £120k - what happened to nissan punching above its weight at half the price?? Even the beetle is losing its way at £145k and 1.6t :-(

A totally epic car in every way. If only they made it in Europe and charged £150k more i'm sure it'd sell by the container load.

GTR for me.
The enthusiasts choice.
I agree.The enthusiasts choice.
I've had a couple of 911s but this NISMO seems more special to me, probably because it is rare, much less obvious a choice and certainly a bit left-field.
The default choice for cars like this is a 911. Thats understandable because the 911 is such a good car. But if you want something different this is the obvious alternative.
Its very different to a 911 of course. Very different indeed. But thats a good thing IMO.
0-60 time has nothing to do with maximum power unless the gearing is such that maximum power is made somewhere on the way to 60. 0-100 or 0-200 is likely to be more representative of (maximum) power to weight, but at some point aerodynamics will be a greater limiting factor than traction.
