I just saw my second, live, honest to goodness Nissan GTR. This one was black, and this time I had my iPhone handy.
The photos aren't the best, since I took them while driving behind the GTR, but I'll take what I can get.
Oh yeah, it looked very, very nasty and nice!
I learnt a new cool fact about the Nissan GTR.
In Japan, road cars are electronically governed to a maximum speed of 112 mph. The Nissan GTR is meant to act as a sane road car, when needed, and it follows this rule.
However, if you drive up to a race track in Japan, the GTR's sat nav system figures this out, and switches the governor off, so you can thrash the car around the track to your heart's content.
That's cool!
Just like Toyota, Nissan also fell to a full-year loss. This was its first in almost 10 years.
As a result, about 20,000 employees (just under 9% of its workforce) are being let go.
Directors will not get bonuses, and will have salaries reduced by 10%.
Managers will have their salaries reduced by 5%.
Not the best news from the makers of Godzilla, the awesome GTR.
Here's a spy shot of the Nissan GT R. The Top Gear guys loved the car, and covered it in their 2008 SuperCars magazine
