Nissan’s legendary GT-R has been slaying supercars for nine years now. And it ain’t finished yet.

In fact, it’s just been facelifted. Which some might say is a blessed relief, but whatever your views on its appearance you can’t deny that the GT-R serves up performance far beyond its price point.

Which is £79,995, and you don’t get a lot in the way of supercars for that. But it’s always taken something special, and very super indeed, to live with Nissan’s big beast – and now they’ve tweaked its chassis, as well as upping the oomph to a monstrous 562bhp, it’ll take something more special than ever.

So, all set for another nine years? Sit back and watch as the new GT-R struts its stuff, and decide for yourself.
