When Nissan unveiled the car at the Tokyo Auto Show in 2007, the car enthusiast world was set on fire. The look of the car and the on-paper specs were in the super-cars league, but at half the price.
The history of the GT-R badge goes back in time to the '60s, when it was used by Prince, a former Japanese name that merged with the Datsun-Nissan. Over time, the cars that wore the Skyline GT-R badges became more and more powerful and with the addition of the ATESSA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, it was even faster.
The 2007 GT-R lost the “Skyline” name but it offered the expected performances. It could stay side-by-side with cars like Ferrari F430, Porsche Turbo or Lamborghini Gallardo. In 2011, the facelift brought more power and a better look for the vehicle. The front bumper included the LED daytime running lights and in the rear, a new diffuser was installed to improve the air-flow underneath the car. Bigger wheels with new designs were installed.
On the inside, the car-maker improved the material's quality and the infotainment system. Like before, it was used for measuring various car performances and also for the audio and navigation system. The 2011 model featured an iPod connectivity and USB port in addition to the HDD installed. It featured a Bose sound system.
The twin-turbo V6 engine was upgraded from 500 hp in 2009 to 530 in 2012 and up to 545 in 2016 But since the engine was hand-built, each car had a different real power. The Nissan stated the least power a car would offer.
