Forza Horizon: This must be the GT-R I was expecting to drive!!!!

Looks good when it's nighttime

Yes, I know. Even though the hopes of FM4 bringing the 2012 Nissan GT-R has been nixed due to some "various circumstances", this kind of GT-R is truly the one we really want if I want to duel it out against the Jaguar XKR-S on the straights.

And now, due to numerous circumstances, Forza Horizon (finally) brought the current version of the Nissan GT-R. The 2012 (US 2013MY) Nissan GT-R Black Edition! The one we saw beating up the Ferrari 458, Lexus LFA, Mustang Boss 302, and others in 2011's World's Greatest Drag Race! Sadly this year, it's been beaten by the McLaren MP4-12C and the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. But still, it's a quick car. Quicker on the straights, and quicker on the corners.

Attacking through the Finley Dam

One of the things I find it peculiar about the latest version was that it was made from a hermetically sealed factory, most of its components are heated to the same temperature before assembly, and how the tires are filled in nitrogen because it's more stable than air. All those parts; the body, the brakes, the 3.8L twin-turbo V6 engine, the steering, the new dual-clutch gearbox, all linked to sing the song of speed in perfect harmony.

Speaking of which, thanks to such adjustments, I can say that it's getting a bit more easier to handle and faster to outrun any sportscar of its class. Also, the launch control rigged on the GT-R gets me through a quick rocket start, so when there goes the starting signal, the launch control gets the GT-R ahead of its rivals and with all of its might, it can outturn, outpace, and outrun everyone of its class. I mean, how happy am I driving this kind of GT-R anyway? (laughing)

Moonlight Serenade

It maybe a JDM supercar that behaves normally in Colorado and better on straight lines against sportscars that are five times the GT-R's pricing but with great respect comes great responsibility. This car was not made for show-offing against your pals. You need to show how much of a driver you are while driving this improved GT-R. You need to show how worthy and how capable to master this 4WD monster and if you do, the results will be more rewarding but that's okay. It doesn't matter if you're not concentrating because this is an incredibly easy car. It's not mild, it's not dynamic, it's well-balanced in every single aspect and no matter how good or bad your driving is, the GT-R is always respecting your agenda.

So what can I say? This is the best GT-R ever driven in Horizon. No wonder this car got the respect it deserved...
