A legacy to remember

Originally ushered into the Japanese auto manufacturer's model lineup as a flagship vehicle to demonstrate the company's advanced automotive technologies and performance capabilities, the GT‑R made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in the fall of 1968. Shortly after in February 1969, a production version of the all-new GT‑R was introduced to the public and became well known for its 0-400 m time of 16.1 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h.

Fast forward almost 40 years, the sixth generation GT‑R was launched in 2008 for the first time in Canada. Since then, it has received various minor changes and facelifts, but the iconic high-performance flagship model remained true to its roots by offering exhilarating handling and performance.

Not only has the Nissan GT‑R become a revered fixture in the global automotive enthusiast community throughout its lifespan, it has also transcended the car world to become an icon in popular culture through blockbuster motion pictures and video games, leaving behind a legacy that will not be forgotten.
