Auto Express – 2017 Nissan GT-R review – Video

For all its flaws you can’t help but admire the GT-R. If outright performance and pure speed is what you’re after then you can’t do much better than this. Nothing gives you as much bang for your buck. However, the repertoire of the everyday supercar has expanded beyond sheer performance and a dose of practicality. The McLaren 570GT, Audi R8 and venerable Porsche 911 Turbo prove sacrifices in terms of comfort and quality needn’t be made, in pursuit of speed and handling.
