'Godzilla' as a daily driver: The Nissan GT-R

'Godzilla' as a daily driver: The Nissan GT-R

You might believe that a sports car is only able to be driven by a seasoned driver under perfect conditions.

Not so. With the Nissan GT-R, every day can be considered a sports car day thanks to the ease, confidence, comfort, and thrill that it brings — regardless of your skill level and experience in driving. Of course, you'll also have to remember this is no entry-level sedan with average abilities.

Chalk this up to GT-R's evolution and lineage. In 1964, the Nissan 2000GT four-door sedan was ahead of the Porsche 904 at the Japanese Grand Prix, and this gave rise to the history of the GT-R. 

Since then, each new model has become more thrilling, competent, and faster which, over the long term, produced an increasing number of enthusiasts.

The aerodynamics of the GT-R enable it to slice through the air like the low-slung, mid-engine supercar it is. Major changes can be observed in the interior of the Nissan GT-R, which improve both capability and comfort.

The GT-R also features semi-aniline leather appointments and a single, leather hide that is manually chosen for a seamless leather appearance. 

Moreover, numerous, conveniently accessible screens exist as an advanced way for the driver to obtain instant feedback to major performance standards. This results in an informative and interactive drive, as the innovative features of the GT-R's instrument panel offer faster readability combined with versatility.

The Nissan GT-R is available in two variants: the GT-R Premium and the GT-R Nismo. The features of each variant are shown below:
