Nissan GT-R

R35 — the only GT-R generation officially sold in the UK, on sale here from 2009 right through to 2022 when EU noise/emissions rules killed it. Hand-built 3.8 twin-turbo VR38DETT V6, ATTESA E-TS Pro AWD, dual-clutch GR6 transaxle. Power crept from 473 bhp at launch to 562 bhp on Track Edition and 600 bhp on Nismo. Yearly updates (Nissan called them Model Years 2009 through 2022) so spec varies enormously — early cars are crude and cheaper, late Nismo cars are halo money. Astonishing pace, dual-clutch slammed shifts, and a reputation for eating tyres, brakes and gearboxes — but it humbles supercars at half the price.
