Report 4 - Nissan GT-R £83,875 OTR/£85,650 as tested
The Nissan GT-R is an incredibly complex driving device. But nothing scrambles the brain quite like its 4WD system. Even its name is hard enough to get your head around; Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-terrain with Electronic Torque Split. Or, ATTESA ET-S for, erm, short…
Normally I’d recommend a track in order to pull back the curtain on such a car’s cleverness – somewhere you can push the limits, make mistakes. Not for the GT-R, though. The bar is too high. You need to put everything in slow-mo so your brain and bum can keep up with what’s going on. What you need is a Swedish ice lake.
