2009 Nissan GT-R

The Nissan GT-R, internally designated CBA-R35 (often shortened to R35), is a four-seat high-performance sports car produced by Nissan, acting as the marques flagship model, initially launched at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show as a 2009 model year model. Styled by Hirohisa Ono under Shiro Nakamura, the GT-R acts as the successor to the Skyline GT-R range produced from 1969 to 2002. Created by Nissan with the intention of manufacturing "a world-beating sports car", the GT-R is powered by a 3.8L VR38DETT twin-turbocharged V6 engine, mated to a 6-speed BorgWarner GR6Z30A dual clutch; at launch, this engine produced 473 horsepower when the car was initially launched. Development of the GT-R commenced in 2000 and is offered worldwide. Since its launch the GT-R has undergone numerous facelifts and updates to keep itself up to date with its competitors.
