5. Nissan GT-R

Top Speed: 191 mph
Zero to Sixty: 2.9 seconds

The Nissan GT-R is the Nissan Corporation’s redesign of the Nissan Skyline.With a 545 horsepower engine capable of going 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and a fine tuned suspension allowing it to out-handle most anything on the road, the GT-R is one beast of a car.The Nissan GT-R tops out at 191 mph, which is more than enough speed for anyone. The exterior may look tame compared to many supercars, with small vents and curves along the body, but Nissan built them with a purpose. The vents exhaust air from the wheels to lower brake temps and reduce the build-up of pressure under the car to increase down-force. The handmade carbon fiber spoiler also helps to increase down-force and stiffness at high speeds. It may not look as fancy as its other supercar cousins, but it definitely deserves their respect.
