#nissan #jdm #gtr
The car so powerful it practically ruined Toyota’s LFA experiment by beating it to market. And did it for a fifth the price.
Today, even as Takumi in Japan are still assembling VR38DETTs with meticulous hands, the writing is on the wall. The end of the GT-R badge draws near once again.
As it was in 1973, and 1999, The next generation of GT-R is not guaranteed.. Will there be another machine capable of adorning itself with those three small letters? The performance landscape has shifted since those humble beginnings in 2007. Today’s world of electrified hypercars and top dollar supercars begs us to ask once more…
Does Nissan have another fight left in it?
This is THE SQUIDD, a channel devoted to telling boring stories BOLDLY. Automotive icons, car company calamities, supercar legends and underdog heroes. All told through the lens of The Squidd, automotive content creator famous for being a dude with bad hair.

I think the real moral of this story is that the boss at Nissan was humble enough to admit when he was wrong, and bring in talent instead of thinking he knew everything. That will always be the key to success.

This was a dream car for me when I graduated high school. This car also really killed whatever excitement there was for the LFA back when it released. If I remember correctly the LFA was expected to release at the same time but that's when they went back to the drawing board for a carbon chassis. The GT-R came out, and the LFA was forgotten about until later on when it was recognized as being slept on.

I bought it with 33,500 miles and I've already racked up just over 1000. This video seriously hit the nail on the head of why I am head over heels in love with this car. It absolutely smashes everything I've ever owned or driven in my life (including some very high end exotics on the track in Vegas).

I have seen one or two tributes to this car over the years, but this one is magnificent! Over the years since I bought it in 2009, I slowly took it for granted without realizing it. Driving it but forgetting why somehow. The kids wanting to race me suddenly making me remember what I’m driving. You never want this to happen as a car fanatic your whole life, but life has a way of wearing you down. Thanks for helping me remember why I did it and why I still do it. These days I stay in the upper rev range every chance I get, and I still look for excuses to drive across multiple states. Mine is 620 crank hp and feels as great at 110,000 miles as the day I bought her! It’s like a tank and has rarely had an unknown issue in all these years. I will never part with it. What a car! I wish everyone who watched this video could feel what I feel anytime they want. It’s an honor.

@paulprimac 11 месяцев назад

@PFYT88 Yep, totally agree, he didn't come into the Holyfield fight with the same do-or-die energy that he had when he dismantled Tyson (losing his mother just weeks before), but it also has to be mentioned that if Tyson had been fighting Douglas with his typical ferocity, Douglas most likely would have been just another notch on the belt (even though at the time, Douglas was ranked 3rd in the heavyweight ranks if memory serves, and fought a brilliant strategic bout against Tyson). Would have been really fun to watch Buster with clear mind and purpose possibly becoming a dominant force in heavyweight boxing of the day because he was talented. Definitely an amazing time in the history of professional boxing.

@maddog_majima9553 Год назад

@@UnderTheBarI envy u LoL. I'm all in if the hybrid beats everyone else's ass tbh. I mean the Porsche Spyder is still talked about today and it did that with cutting edge hybrid tech right. But the acura NSX hybrid wasn't the best was it? Sure it had fast laps in some place like the top gear test track but in a vid by best motoring it was beat by the old NSX in touge. Not to mention GTR is already a heavy car and a 4 seater car too. Hy rid tech might make it too heavy since attesa will be there for sure. Goes to show that it's the handling but of that car that makes it so legendary and not just the raw constant torque. I heard recently that Nissan won't release the next GTR unless they can prove it's the fastest car which obviously means its nurburgring time were it has to beat the amg one by Mercedes and idk if that will work out either. As for the ones now.Maybe it's just me but if the GTR could lose 100Kg from what it is now. It can reach the less than 7min mark for sure especially after reading the Wikipedia page on its unofficial times made that didn't reach the record books all of that with 255mm front and 285mm rear wheel tyres makes it an achievement IMO. But they just doing small changes these days right? Makes me fear the worse that they r getting lazy. What do u think as an owner if this beast car?

First video i've ever seen from this channel. I was so impressed i had to subscribe. The production & editing was impeccable, the research to support the story very thorough. It was on par with what's being put out by major TV networks having several times its budget. Surely the channel must have a few million subscribers to its name, right? I was surprised, mildly shocked even, that i had to squint & do a double take. It doesn't even have a million subs. In fact, it's well below half a million, sitting at 302K as of this writing. To me, that's so insane it's almost a crime. I must say that if they keep putting out quality videos like this, that subscription number will steadily go up. It's just inevitable. Thank you for this video & if you'll excuse me, i'll be checking out some of his older ones.

I told him I'd have a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS for the weekends, and a Nissan R35 GT-R. I've loved this car since I first heard of it. And to this day, 16 years later, I still long to get one in my driveway. Squidd, your car documentaries are unparalleled. From your passion and enthusiasm for the vehicles you write about, to the presentation and the information you provide. I get a little depressed after every video I watch because I just want more. But this one was a little more special for me, because you paid tribute to a car that released when I graduated high school, and has been my favorite foreign car since, bar none. I can't wait to see your next creation. And thank you for this video.
