From the Archive: 2009 Nissan GT-R vs. BMW M3 and Porsche 911 Turbo:
We were unaware of the pent-up anticipation created by years of GT-R video-game play. Making the leap from a car made up of electrons to one of real atoms involved being questioned, flagged down, chased, and stalked everywhere we went by awestruck gearheads. Moreover—and a rarity in the realm of exotic cars—those approaching us with their camera phones blazing away knew exactly what they were gazing upon. We were beginning to feel like Britney Spears.
No one, not even Ms. Spears, deserves constant hounding, but the GT-R certainly deserves the attention. Nissan points to the 911 Turbo as the competition, but we’re thinking that maybe Nissan had its sights set on Ferrari. As road-test wrangler K.C. Colwell put it, “The GT-R is Japan’s Enzo.” He’s right. It’s the apogee of the car-building art form from Japan. Japanese cars have never been this exotic from the factory.
