My FH5 Log: KING OF GT-Rs

Since 2007, the Nissan GT-R R35 is the last word of performance not only because of its heritage that dates back from the legendary Skyline GT-R but because of its supercar-slaying performance that shows that Japan is a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, being a normal GT-R, it seems that such performance alone wasn't enough to satisfy the cravings of speedo boys wanting to give European supercars a good beating. That is why they've created the NISMO version for such a purpose.

Created as a result of Nissan's trial and error struggle to create a supercar that can compete against the world's best supercars, the GT-R NISMO, first launched in 2014, features track-honed aerodynamics akin to its GT3 racer and an improved 3.8L V6 Twin Turbo engine producing 600PS of power output, capable of lapping the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:08.679. This is the 2020 Model Year GT-R and for this update, the GT-R NISMO features front fenders from the GT3 racecar, a new carbon-fiber roof, and improved dynamics. It is said that the improved GT-R NISMO lapped Tsukuba in less than a minute.

Having won this car from the Series 5 Hot Season Playlist, I am pleased to experience what is known the be the King of GT-Rs. It may look aged and outdated in the midst of the new normal but the GT-R is still a timeless masterpiece that deserves a lot of respect and in this NISMO version, that respect remains. I had a blast driving one in this game and I'm starting to fall in love with its dynamics that made the GT-R NISMO the king. Respect to that.

To show how much respect the GT-R NISMO delivers, it's time to give Godzilla a typical Japanese tradition; a leisurely underground street racing against supercars. Let's roll the tape.

This is the Japanese way, as speedo boys called it.

As the R35 GT-R's time is nearing the midnight shift, rest assured that this Japanese supercar slayer is truly a legend on its own and the GT-R NISMO is a clear but stark reminder that as the world's living in the new normal, cars like this may not be forever but it managed to leave a lasting legacy the next generation of vehicles will learn something from.

Thank you, Godzilla.
