Nissan GT-R Nismo Review By Hooniverse – Video

The Nissan GT-R has been a bit of a polarizing machine since it’s arrived in 2009. Some love it while others feel it can be a bit soulless and self driving.

Regardless, there’s no denying its amazing performance. Additionally, the vehicle has only gotten faster, better, and more potent year after year. The latest and best version has spent time with the capable hands from the Nissan Motorsports division; otherwise known as the legendary NISMO.

The Nissan GT-R Nismo ups the crazy speed. It ups the crazy levels of grip, acceleration, stopping performance, and overall track-focused insanity.
