Nissan GTR - How It's Made Supercar (Car Documentary)
The Nissan GT-R is a 2-door 2+2 high performance vehicle produced by Nissan unveiled in 2007. It is the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R although no longer part of the Skyline range itself the name having been given over to the R35 Series and having since left its racing roots.
Nissan GT-R
Between 1969 and 1974 and again between 1989 and 2002 Nissan produced a high performance version of its Skyline coupe called the Nissan Skyline GT-R. This car proved to be iconic for Nissan and achieved much fame and success on both road and track. The Nissan GT-R now a standalone model no longer based on the Skyline has heritage in the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
Similar to the later generations of the Skyline GT-R the GT-R is four-wheel drive with a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine and has the signature four round tail lights. However the GT-R is an entirely new model sharing little with its Skyline siblings and is a complete redesign from previous Skylines rather than an incremental evolution; the four-wheel-steering HICAS system has been removed and the former straight-6 RB26DETT engine has been replaced with a new V6 VR38DETT. Because of the GT-R's heritage the chassis code for the all-new version has been called CBA-R35 or 'R35' for short (where CBA is the prefix for emission standard) carrying on the naming trend from previous Skyline GT-R generations. The GT-R has also retained its Skyline predecessor's nickname Godzilla given to it by the Australian motoring publication Wheels in its July 1989 edition.
