GODZILLA - How the Nissan GTR Got Its Name

Behind me is one of the most iconic enthusiast cars in modern day history. This is the Nissan gtr, or as so many people know it, Godzilla. But if you're like me, chances are you've been wondering, where did the nickname Godzilla actually come from? In the 1990s, Nissan was dominating the motorsport circuit with the GTR, and it was actually the media that awarded the car the nickname based on the iconic Japanese monster. Now, decades later, we have this, the R35, and it's still just as exciting as ever. Under the hood, we see a 3.8 liter twin turbo V6 engine with double overhead cam and variable valve timing. This provides an impressive 545 horsepower, and that's just from factory. With aftermarket help, these cars are capable of hitting over 1000 horsepower. So there you have it. Let us know in the comments section down below which generation Nissan GTR you think is the true Godzilla.
