The Nissan GT-R is the ultimate King of JDM. It has proven itself worthy of all the praises and accolades it amassed over the years with its exemplary performance on the track. Since 2007, no other sports car in the world has been named the "Supercar Killer and Godzilla" other than the GT-R. Even before it had proven its superior abilities on the track, former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn already believed that the  6th generation GT-R would become a global icon for the brand.  And he was right, as the sophisticatedly built GT-R has been phenomenally popular and outstanding ever since.

However, recent years have been tough for the GT-R as it had to protect its title. One of the sports cars still being pitted against the Nissan GT-R is the new Toyota Supra. 

We are placing the GT-R and the Supra on the virtual race track to see if Nissan's halo car still has what it takes to perform at the top level in 2022. Starting with their 0 to 100km/h times, the GT-R boasts a 2.9-second run. This is due to its all-wheel-drive configuration which maximizes traction off the line. With 565 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque at the GT-R's disposal, it can surpass the Supra's 3.9-second performance on any good day. Granted the Supra starts on the backfoot with only 335 horses and 500 Nm of pull-off the line. 

On the other hand, in terms of driving comfort, the two differ in their approach. While the GT-R has a game-on approach with its aggressive cabin comfort, the Supra offers a laid-back yet sporty feel for the driver.

These sports cars offer unique driving characteristics that give them their identity. According to Nissan, they have included expert drivers to help them make the GT-R excel in any weather, on any race track, and under the  hands of any driver. And that is what makes the still GT-R unbeatable among Japanese sports cars in the market today.

No other sports car has proven itself worthy to replace the GT-R.
