The GTR has raised the bar for all performance cars. It is very close in lap times to the fastest production cars made today. If, however, you take price and practicality into account the the GTR is without rival. It sits alone at the top of the ladder far above whatever is in second place.

But there are other areas such as brand image and prestige where the GTR can never compete with its European rivals. And it is too big and too heavy for my taste.



The price also is fictitious because it is subsidised. If it was sold at the normal price no one would give it a second look in spite of its slightly superior performance on tracks.

Ok if someone is a bargain-chaser then the GT-R is the car for this person. But at this automotive level there are other important attributes that count and that's where the subjective rating of the Motor Trend magazine comes in.

I don't even mention class and prestige which the GT-R has none.
