Nissan turns Gran Turismo GT-R into the real thing

Despite all the hype, Nissan's new legend-brought-to-life GT-R turns out to be just your every-day, every-man's supercar.

Now called simply the Nissan GT-R, this model was originally part of Nissan's Skyline line-up, sold exclusively in Japan. The original acquired its mythical status by dominating on the race track and later versions became familiar to millions through Sony's legendary Gran Turismo video driving games.
