Have you ever thought what the most well rounded sports car is? Nissan sure has a clear picture and experience on this subject. Between 1969 and 1974, and again between 1989 and 2002, Nissan produced a high performance car named the Nissan Skyline (CarBuzz). This car proved to be quite iconic for Nissan on and off the track, but did it have the potential of being the “perfect” sports car? Maybe not, however, Nissan revised this famous tuner in 2007 and named it the Nissan GTR. It couldn’t have been created without the process of Industrial Engineering. Industrial designers create manufactured products such as cars and other everyday items (Occupational Index). All around, the GTR is the perfect sports car.
The Nissan GTR is the perfect price. It is approximately 1/3 cheaper than any other sports car in its class. The GTR’s competitors contain Ferrari, SRT, BMW, Porsche, Aston Martin, McLaren, Lamborghini as well as Bugatti. All of these high-end, respected, sports car companies and their cars are ranged from well over 100 grand, if not in the millions. Amazingly, the GTR is right around 80 grand, which is a tremendous difference in price. With all the extra money you could save, you could make your GTR one of a kind. If customizing or tuning isn’t your mind set, the GTR is still one of the best, affordable sports cars which makes more people love them.
Performance wise, the GTR is one of the fastest sports cars. It can reach 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world. It contains a 3.8 liter twin turbo V6 engine with an output of 545 hp and 463 lbs of torque (CarBuzz). The GTR not only packs a punch with the engine, but technology wise it contains viscous launch control, AWD, a dual matted clutch transmission with sequential paddle shifting and much more updated tuning. Launch control is a setting you can turn on that sets the GTR’s RPM’s perfectly to ensure the best possible take off. Sequential
