The Nissan GT-R R35, introduced in 2007, redefined the supercar world by delivering mind-bending performance at a fraction of the price of its European rivals. Nicknamed “Godzilla”, it packs a hand-built 3.8L twin-turbo V6 producing between 480 hp at launch to over 600 hp in later NISMO versions. With its advanced ATTESA all-wheel-drive system, lightning-quick dual-clutch gearbox, and sophisticated electronics, the R35 can rocket from 0–100 km/h in about 2.7 seconds, embarrassing cars twice its cost.
Beyond raw numbers, the R35 earned a cult following for its brutal acceleration, precise handling, and tuning potential. While heavier and more tech-driven than its predecessors, it carries the Skyline GT-R spirit into the modern era, becoming an icon of Japanese engineering and performance.
