"The GT-R is one of Nissan’s most legendary cars of all time. It even has a nickname – ‘Godzilla’ – and has been around in one form or another for more than 50 years. Throughout that time, it has stood for boundary-pushing performance and, in recent years, epic levels of handling ability and grip."

Its most recent incarnation (the R35) was launched (initially) in Japan in December 2007, replacing the previous Skyline GT-R. Now simply called ‘GT-R’, it followed a similar formula, with a hand-built hand twin-turbo V6 engine and high-tech all-wheel-drive running gear, giving 480bhp and 430lbs.ft of torque.

In terms of sheer point-to-point speed, little can touch the Nissan GT-R - not even some supercars. It has an almost other-worldly ability to find grip and traction, and deliver the driver enough confidence to utilise it, while the engine is truly explosive. It’s no wonder this car has such a cult following.

It’s a surprisingly good daily-driver too. The interior is roomy, the boot is big and such a clever all-wheel-drive system also aids high-speed stability. And, of course, there’s power in reserve at the merest tickle of the accelerator pedal.

Nissan’s range-topper is suitably loaded with equipment, and the infotainment system is particularly comprehensive. Buyers get the sort of access to on-board information normally reserved for Formula One engineers. You can enjoy a Bose 11-speaker sound system, although you may prefer the titanium exhaust instead.

Be in no doubt, this is a truly exotic high-end supercar. For a Nissan, it’s very expensive - consider it a half-price Ferrari, with the ability to embarrass many of Maranello’s finest cars.

The car presented here was original sold to the JDM but was personally imported into the UK by a private buyer at the end of 2008 and professionally SVA'd.

Over the years, it has been diligently maintained by Nissan UK, specialists Litchfield and Car Planet Racing, plus HR Owen and Graypaul, receiving parts as and when required, with much expenditure. MOT and servicing records support an ultra-low mileage of just under 7,000 with a commensurate condition, and the car is now ready for a new owner to enjoy the GT-R experience.
