A community portal about Nissan Skyline GT-R with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Nissan Skyline GT-R is an iconic Japanese sports coupe in the Nissan Skyline range. Dubbed "Godzilla" by Wheels magazine in Australia when released there in 1989, it was rated by many motoring magazines, including the well-respected Wheels, as providing performance and handling equal or superior to that of European icons like the Porsche 911 and the Ferrari Testarossa, at a considerably lower price. The Skyline's home-market competitors have included the Honda NSX, Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru Impreza WRX STi, and Mazda RX-7.

Nissan's luxury division, Infiniti, has a large crossover ute that's also stonkingly fast, yet somehow, so much slower than the GT-R.

Would you pay $70,000 for a Nissan? That, it seems, is the $70,000 question, and it’s what the Nissan GT-R currently costs in Japanese yen. When it arrives on our shores in mid-2008, the price will start at $69,850 plus destination and gas-guzzler charges which have yet to be determined. Stretching the price range of a brand is nothing new: Ford went into the stratosphere with the $153,000 GT and managed to sell every copy.
