... that lap of the Top Gear track was stunning.

2/10s of second slower than a Atom!

As a piece of engineering it is stunning, as for looks i'm not so sure.

I love it. My old man had an R34 and that was a fantastic machine. The technology just flattered you, and it never felt like the car was doing all the work - the R35 seems to continue the trend.

I still can't quite understand that time. It completely defies the laws of physics.

That car is simply amazing!!Very positive review from Clarkson, I am sure the waiting list for this car will get longer tomorrow morning

I must say the looks doesnt really appeal to me much initially but now it starts to grow on me And there re some nice aftermarket parts available as well

Looking forward to driving one next June, probably at Knockhill mostly. My friend is selling his Esprit and he's got a black GTR on order. Might try to get it to AM7.

The top gear review bugs me though. All that bollox about not knowing the power output because they're all hand assembled. Unless they're hand filing the cams that's total horseshit

gtr is nice. But it wouldn't be at the top of my list.

Shame now that every r33 gtst driver will think they have the best car ever as it's a skyline-init.

I really like the look of the new vette that has just done nur even quicker. No massive electronics, just a huge engine and a blower. Nice.
