OK, so it’s not a core fleet model, but look at the number of Porsche 911s bought with company money and Nissan‘s new GT-R is plausible for the select few able to pick a car at this level.
At virtually £60,000 the GT-R is not cheap, but there’s very little in the world at any price that can match a 3.5sec 0-62mph time or a 193mph top speed. It really feels that rapid, too, and the driving experience is mind-blowing. Granted, while some of the interior material is good quality, the cabin doesn’t feel quite as well laid out as its rivals. But that’s because the 185PS GT-R is basically built to excel at travelling quickly, and nods to anything else such as comfort or ease of use around town are compromises the engineers weren’t willing to make.
The GT-R is probably the only Nissan that achieves a residual value of more 50% at 54.3%, but the 22.8mpg combined fuel economy figure and 6000-mile service intervals help drive up the cost per mile to a wallet-whimpering 123.2p. However, on the flip-side, it provides individuality because there won’t be many around, it certainly feels special to drive and there’s no danger of not being noticed.
