We know you want the numbers and we're not going
to waste your time. Neither is Nissan. Its 2009
GT-R hits 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, quicker than the
last Dodge Viper, Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911
Turbo we tested. Keep your foot pinned, and after
another tap on the upshift paddle it will clear
the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds at more than 120
mph.

| Nissan Pivo 2 Concept |
 |
Ahead of the 40th Tokyo Motor Show (October 26 to
November 11), Nissan unveils its electric-powered
Pivo 2 concept car. Designed for urban use, the
Pivo 2 features a 360-degree revolving cabin,
inherited from the first-generation Pivo, allowing
the driver to always face forward while driving,
even when parallel parking, and to access the
unique front door from any direction. The
three-seat car is equipped with safety systems
such as Around View Monitor (AVM), Distance
Control Assist System (DCAS) and also a Robotic
Agent that uses facial monitoring technology to
interact with the driver.

For a few seconds, you give in to the spectacle of
driving a 2009 Nissan GT-R. This car attracts its
own entourage and then takes you along for the
ride. It's not just the Skyline mystique, either.
It's the fact that even in production sheet metal,
the R35 GT-R looks like a one-off concept stolen
from a Southern California design studio. It has
as many hard contours as a Porsche 911 has soft
curves. You have the key fob, and still you ogle
it.
Soon, though, you point the GT-R down an on-ramp
and plant the throttle. The effortless brutality
with which the 2009 Nissan GT-R gathers speed is
what you'll describe to your friends — once
everyone's tired of talking about the styling,
that is.
What you won't tell them is that you suspect your
supercar might be a sociopath. It doesn't flow
around corners like your E46 BMW M3 did, nor does
it transmit feedback through the steering wheel
for the sheer pleasure of it.
Instead, the 2009 Nissan GT-R bends asphalt to its
will. When it talks to you about tire grip, you
get the feeling it's only bothering because you're
part of its great plan to break free of the
Earth's orbit. Should it ever achieve this, you
imagine that its conversation will cease and it
will simply expel you into the airless void. Until
then, though, you have the conn.
