NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R

The Skyline GT-R is Japan's most popular sports car. It is powered by a high tech (intercooled) twin tubro 2.6 litre in-line 6 which produces 280hp@6800rpm and 36.4kg/m@4400rpm. These figures however, dont even hint at the GT-R's performance credentials. The GT-R VSPEC is driven throught a complex 4WD system called (ATTESA E-TS Pro) which considers drive and brake forces and precisely distributes torque independently to each of the four wheels to ensure maximun grip in all conditions nad at all times. A complex system also controls the steering angle of the rear wheels according to the vehicles speed and Yaw rate. The result of such integrated advanced technology is that the GT-R is next to Porsche's 911 Tubro as being the worlds fastest production 4WD car. Maybe that's why the GT-R is known as the "battle god" of sports cars in it's homeland.
