Nissan GT-R, the rebirth of a legend. The newest member in a long line of Japanese supercars, the R35 follows in the footstep of its younger and equally thrilling siblings the R32, R33 and R34.
The Nissan Skyline GT-R gained cult status in 2003′s 2 Fast 2 Furious. Actor Paul Walker, who drove and raced one through the streets of Miami in the film, bought his own and modified it.
Under the hood is a 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo pumping out 480 bhp. It puts the GT-R right up along side the Porsche 911 Turbo. And it’s going to be half the price. With 4 wheel drive and a trick launch control, expect a 0–60-mph time of 3.5 seconds and a quarter-mile dash of just under 12. Expected price for the 2009 Nissan GT-R is a very reasonable $70,000.
