Amidst the array of luxury cars and SUVs on Hanoi’s streets, the appearance of a black Nissan GT-R R35 instantly captures every gaze.
For car enthusiasts, this isn’t just a powerful sports coupe—it’s a symbol of Japan’s speed legacy, once a formidable contender against Western supercars.
Debuting in 2007, the Nissan GT-R R35 is the successor to the legendary Skyline GT-R. Car aficionados dub it “Godzilla”—a nod to its monstrous Japanese power and jaw-dropping performance, rivaling European supercars priced twice as high.
In Vietnam, the GT-R R35 is a rare sight, with only a handful legally registered. The vehicle pictured in Hanoi is one of these scarce examples. Most GT-Rs in Vietnam are privately imported, as Nissan never officially distributed this model domestically.
This featured GT-R boasts a menacing exterior: a low-slung front, aggressive air intakes, razor-sharp headlights, and muscular body lines. The black finish exudes understated elegance while hinting at the raw power within—a design that demands attention.
Powering the Nissan GT-R R35 is a twin-turbocharged 3.8L V6 engine, delivering 600 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 652 Nm of torque between 3,200 and 5,200 rpm. Paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, topping out at 330 km/h.
