Nissan GT-R 3.8 Black Edition Review: Godzilla on the loose

Nissan GT-R 3.8 Black Edition Review: Godzilla on the loose

We had to wait for almost two long years for the arrival of the official Nissan GT-R. It’s finally here and we took it out of its lair to put it through its paces.

What we like:
pros
Stupendous performance
pros
bang for your buck.
What we dislike:
cons
Gearbox lacks finesse when accelerating from rest
cons
boring engine note.

It was a long wait but the wait for the official GT-R should be worth it for those who had been considering one. The warranty will be a reassuring factor, especially after you find out how frequent the GT-R needs to be serviced and checked

The GT-R had always been benchmarked against the Porsche 911 Turbo. It should match the Porsche’s pace in a straight line but we’re in no position to judge if it can really surpass the 911 on a race track (let’s just let them squabble about it among themselves). At about half the price of the 911 Turbo though, the GT-R offers superb bang for your buck. In fact, it offers the most horsepower per dollar of any car out there.
