11. Nissan GT-R
Nissan made huge buzz in 2009 when the GT-R was brought over to America. The GT-R is a legendary sports car overseas and up until 2009, you could only import one. It features a good deal of horsepower from the factory. The Nismo and Track Editions offer a real race car that is street legal. Although the car provides a fun driving experience, the overall design has become outdated. There are new sports car models that are going to be entering the market, including the new NSX.
The distinct advantage of the GT-R is that the car is a legend in the performance industry. Nissan has built the GT-R brand to be a dominant force in the drifting industry, and this is one reason why the GT-R is still highly regarded. The main competition for the GT-R is the Acura NSX, which also just recently got a revision. Still, the GT-R is going to need some type of update soon, and Nissan knows it. Indeed, it would seem both of Nissan’s sports cars have been without updates for some time now, as well as the Frontier pickup truck. Only time will tell what kind of upgrade Nissan adds to the GT-R.
