Aaahhhhh, GODZILLA!

You can't even begin to talk about Japanese car culture with mentioning the most influential Japanese car in the world, which happens to be the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Nicknamed Godzilla by an Australian car magazine, it has dominated Japan motorsports winning 29 straight of 29 races.

Never manufactured outside of Japan, the Skyline GT-R was only exported to Australia and the United Kingdom. The older model GT-R's are rare in United States considering that Nissan never produced a Skyline GT-R to comply with the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, until 2008 where they released the R35 GT-R worldwide. 

Some of the things that makes this car so unique is its all-wheel drive system and four-wheel steering. It also remains somewhat inexpensive for its class.

  1. Skylines are the best! If I could afford to import an R34 I would. Good taste in cars my man.
