The 25 Best Japanese Sports Cars Ever Made

23. Nissan GTR

The Nissan GTR is the spiritual successor to the Nissan Skyline. With the Skyline being Nissan’s best performance vehicle, the GTR had some big shoes to fill, and it filled them easily. 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.Top speed of the GTR is 191 mph. The exterior lacks the frill and glitz of other supercars, instead opting for a sleek look. The small vents and curves along the body give it a classy look. 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.
