My Favourite Car! - Nissan Skyline GTR

This is one the most attractive cars I have ever seen. The Nissan Skyline GT-R 34 came popular after creating the movie ‘Fast and Furious’. This is also one the best cars Nissan has ever built. It really is a car with good performance. This car is supposed to entertain anyone who drives it!

If we take look around the car, it seems like it's big, but actually it’s not. And the narrow, clear and canted headlights give it a threatening look of a falcon. Skyline GT-R is also actually one of the few top-performers that are quite useful in normal day driving.

Looks: This car doesn’t have the typical babyish car look, but the aggressive, threatening and attacking look of a Warrior. Also have all sorts of looks, sport, normal and especially decent as well. Modifications to the will certainly add a unique reputation to this GT-R to enhance its attractiveness.
Engine: Smooth and quite 3.2 liter engine generating 328 bhp at 8000 rpm max., improved valve timing and exhaust system
Transmission: 6-speed gearbox with close ratio shifting, limited slip differential. Transmission is precise and offers good feel with a clutch that is sharp, large and progressive.
Brakes: has one of the world’s most sophisticated brake systems featuring race-ABS. Brake cooling is improved by large ducts in the front spoiler to channel air to front brake disks.
Aerodynamics: The front and rear diffusers regulate the air flow along the car’s underbody creating down force. Improves handling and stability at speeds of 80 kmph enhances stability in corners and braking. The dual level-type rear wing features a stiff main-wing adjustable in four angles.
Handling: Has better handling ability especially in cornering and high speeds.
Interior: Quite comfortable and bucket seats holds the driver tight when driving fast and cornering. All controls are in easy reach for the driver.
Specialty: What really distinguishes the Skyline from any other car though, is ATTESA, the GT-R’s all-wheel-drive system. ATTESA-ETS usually operates in rear-wheel-drive setup, but when necessary (i.e. when a wheel spins); it can electronically shift up to 50% of the engine’s torque to the front wheels. In effect, the GT-R behaves like a RWD rather than an AWD car, just with some more front-end bite.
Other: The technologies used in uneven weight distribution, dynamic torque distribution and ABS enhancements ensure the safety of the driver to a higher level.

Usually I don’t like Nissan cars. They just don’t seem to have the looks and passion when you are driving them. But of course, this “Nissan Skyline GT-R” is exceptional. That is why it is my Favorite Car!
