In 2009, Nissan broke the mold with the r35 gtr. It embarrassed cars costing twice as much and immediately had the world playing catch up, specifically Porsche and to a lesser extent gm with the vette.
We have such great c7 z06’s and 911 gt3s and turbos bc they saw the bar and then raised it themselves, the old adage about competition strengthens the breed applies for sure.
Chevy just did the same thing in 2020 with the c8.
This should kill the r35 (if Nissan has any self respect), and bring on a kick *** r36 in a few years, but then again, b/c Kicks might apply and they’ll make the next gtr a cuv hybrid.
