An icon in the land of the rising sun, the Japanese affectionately call this vehicle Godzilla. It took a while for the GT-R to make its way to North America and now that we’ve got it, we don’t ever want to let it go! For 2012, this powerful coupe has had a slight rejuvenation, including new body colours and a more powerful engine that boosts output from 485 hp to 530 hp. A Black Edition of this superb GT 2+2 is also available.
