Godzilla is back! Pitting the £150k Nismo GT-R up against the MY2017 Nissan GT-R, BenzeneBen compares the two versions to see what you get for that extra £60k more over the standard car. Routinely described as the supercar killer, there is no question that Nissan and Nismo are making seriously quick cars, but let's delve into them in more detail. Would you take the Nismo?

I see what your saying and it would be more fun modding your own car. I did watch a video some time ago of a popular tuning company boosting a gtr to 700hp and various other bits (cant remember the details). Then it was track timed against a nismo and lost by quite a margin. The driver say they felt the power on the straights but it couldn't take the corners like the nismo. I guess a standard one can be tuned passed the nismo if you knew what suspension etc to get.
@mrex6667 жыл бұрын
I believe that the focus should be on the handling. there are several suspension options that will make a std GT-R very near a NISMO. I will likely try that next year

I'd much rather see a great channel like this used as a conduit for independent (and much more interesting) opinion. I understand that people will still enjoy seeing the metal, and to some extent I do too, but constructive criticism is where it's at, for me at least.
