2008 Nissan (R35) GT-R

The R35 GT-R (2007-present) represents Nissan's technological tour-de-force. Twin-turbo VR38DETT V6 and sophisticated ATTESA E-TS AWD deliver supercar performance at (relatively) accessible prices. Hand-assembled engines bear their builder's signature. Continuous updates have seen power rise from 480hp to over 560hp in current spec. Sub-3-second 0-60 times demolish far more expensive rivals. The ultimate point-and-squirt supercar, offering incredible performance value while UK official sales continue.

Gearbox is complex and expensive - harsh launches cause premature wear. Transmission cooler essential for track use. Brake wear rapid on track despite carbon ceramic options. VR38 reliable but repairs extremely expensive. Turbo wastegate rattle common but usually cosmetic. Launch control use voids warranty on some model years. Running costs substantial - tyres, brakes, services all premium-priced. Ensure specialist servicing.
