The Nissan GTR, also known as Godzilla, is a Japanese giant that has left a lasting impact on the automotive world. This beast of a car, with its extraterrestrial performance and agility, has taken on all challengers and obliterated them. It's a legend that will live forever, and in this video from Ideal Media, they discuss why you need a GTR.

The GTR lineage can be traced back to the original Skyline, but Nissan wanted to revolutionize the brand and challenge European sports cars on a global scale. The engineers had their work cut out for them, especially after the success of the R34 GTR. But they didn't disappoint. After six years of research and development, the GTR was unveiled in 2007, stunning the automotive world with its performance.

At the heart of the GTR is the VR38 DET power plant, a hand-assembled 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that initially produced 478 horsepower. Over the years, that number has grown to around 600. This car is not just about power, though. It's about intelligent engineering. The GTR's all-wheel drive system, known as the ATTESA ETS, adjusts torque split depending on driving conditions, resulting in wickedly quick acceleration.

Driving the GTR is like piloting alien technology. The new GTR premium midship platform pushes the engine further back, allowing for otherworldly handling. And let's not forget about the sound. The VR engine produces a unique warble that is a mix of a brass instrument and hellfire. It's a race car in every sense of the word.

While the GTR is an incredible car, it does have its quirks. The transmission can have issues with clunking noises and shifting problems, particularly in early models. The bell housing at the back of the engine can also cause problems if the bearing wears out. And let's not forget about the notorious headlamp assemblies that are prone to moisture accumulation.

Despite these quirks, the GTR is a solid car that can be tuned to unleash even more power. It has been in production for over a decade and a half, with various track-focused versions and special editions. The average market price for a GTR is around $90,000, but there is a wide range of prices depending on mileage and edition.
