The Nissan Skyline GT-R supercar has thrilled international motorsports audiences since 1964, with a special nod to the third-generation R32 that cemented its status as a performance icon. By the time the fifth-generation Nissan GT-R arrived on American shores for the first time, this uncompromising car already gained legions of fans, many of whom had only experienced it in pixels and code via racing games and simulators. It is worthy of such adulation. A beastly twin-turbocharged V8 makes as much as 600 hp, delivered to all four of the car’s wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
