2009 Nissan GT-R First Impressions

Reno, Nevada - With this new ultra-high performance sports car, Nissan achieved quite a feat. At $81,900, the 2009 GT-R has all the driving dynamics enthusiasts could wish for; Corvette and Porsche owners should seriously beware of this high-value competitor. Performance and handling are phenomenal thanks to the dual-clutch transmission, ATTESA ET-S all-wheel drive system and well-calibrated suspension -- all offering three adjustment levels. Adrenaline starts flowing as soon as you dip the throttle of the 480-hp twin-turbo V6. Of course, you can leisurely cruise boulevards, but how can you resist shifting in Sport or Super Sport mode?
