A calm night on the outskirts of Tokyo is disturbed by a roar!
Say hello to Godzilla! But not the one you think. This is The Nissan Skyline GT-R.
A symbol of Japanese ingenuity. As Japanese as a giant robot and possibly as iconic as the Mach
5 itself
The Nissan GTR was one of the best supercars ever built. It was so formidable that it earned the nickname Godzilla.
The GT-R had a history of racetrack dominance beginning with its 50 victories scored from 1968-1972, including 49 consecutive wins in the Japanese race circuit. Between 1989 to 1993 the GTR won all 29 races it entered and between 1991 to 1997 it took 50 races from 50 starts in the N1 Super Taikyu.
It inspired countless games, movies, anime and manga comics and has become an integral part of Japanese pop culture. And was in part responsible for the popularization of Illegal Street racing in Japan in the hands of the notorious Mid Night Club. The GTR was a Supercar disguised as a roadster.
Lets take a look into how this legendary car came about and what its latest evolution will be like.
