Given the amount of hype surrounding its launch last year, the GT-R needs no introduction. The mythical twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6 produces 480-hp and uses a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The level of technology that keeps the GT-R on the road is simply stunning, but it works to flatter anyone who gets behind the wheel. Interior features a huge LED screen that’s fully customizable with whatever information the driver requires. Seats are super comfortable and supportive, and the back seat is definitely usable.

 

Pros

Puts Porsches and Ferraris to shame

Cons

Overly hard on the road
