The Nissan Skyline GTR

Nissan has released one of the most amazing machines to ever touch a road surface. The name is the Nissan Skyline GTR R35 and it has already put its name on the map for being the fastest car amongst a range of different exotics of different manufacturers.

The engine of the car is a VR38DETT which in basic terms means that there is a twin turbo 3.8ltr V6 engine under the hood of this car. The standard version of the car has its redline set at 7000RPM. It pushes out a massive 473HP @6400 rpms. This coupled with 433 pound feet of torque makes the car go from 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds. It does a quarter mile in 11.7 seconds which almost gives it a 10 second car rating that most people will know from the Fast and Furious series.

Besides the power this car makes the looks and features are also simply amazing. You can find electronic traction control that will ensure that your car hardly ever spins, even when you putting your foot flat and pushing the car at its hardest. You will also have cruise control at your disposal for those days when you hitting the long road and want to give your feet a rest. If you driving during those cold winter days you can just flip the switch on your heated seats and make sure that the cold air does not get to you.

This car is probably every males dream. There is a good balance between luxury, comfort and speed and it has a lot of all these factors built into 1 mean car. For now though I can only dream and will continue with my luxury car hire options that I currently do when I want to feel some good power from a car. I also do convertible car hire sometimes when I want to feel the wind through my hair. All of these does not add up to what the Nissan Skyline can offer you though and this car is in a league of its own.
