History of the GT-R

Ok, I’ll admit I’ve been a little less than thrilled with the GT-R lately. But that’s actually due to some of the price-gouging—remember that this machine was supposed to list for $70,000—and the fact that the nannies at Nissan apparently don’t want buyers to actually drive its halo car. But I’ve never said Godzilla wasn’t wicked fast, and I think the GT-R is a marvelous piece of engineering. So I enjoyed the hell out of this National Geographic piece which details the history of the model and the development of the current gen. Be warned: this video is over 45 minutes long, and it’s tough to stop watching.
