Watching this with my 17 GT-R outside. the GTR brings a smile to everyone's face as it rolls by, unparalleled by anything else on the road. It's no longer a supercar killer, but it's already a legend, and I love mine :)
Please try to keep it for as long as possible, once they stop making these they’ll depreciate further another couple years, but in the long run the value will definetily go up, especially if the ICE ban will go into effect in 2030
They don't bash it for it's age, they bash that it's outdated and is now overpriced compared to the competition. ruclips.net/video/uOUOlYTC3oA/видео.html
@@ShreN_ don’t get me wrong I love the Aventador. But have you seen the center console/infotainment? It looks like the inside of Fred flintstones car. And I’m getting one this summer 😂
Hated him on top gear, then I found this channel and he and his team make amazing videos. He was not a good fit with the other two top gear presenters at the time.
The reason that Top Gear with C,H&M worked as they were just normal blokes. Rory fits this category too, but Chris is too much of an 'enthusiast' and Matt, well he was just there to sell it over seas. Top Gear played to Rory's strength, but the other two let it down.

@@melp3033 Perhaps he had just had to play a role in top gear, wheras here he can be himself. Whatever the reason, I agree they're making amazing videos on this channel and Rory is excellent.
The GTR still has some of the best stats... but what people forget is that it isn't about having the best, fastest, nicest, vehicle. This car is one you buy simply for its history, and because it makes you smile. Knowing you have a car that symbolizes greatness and time and effort
@@anthonycharway745 yes sir, and one of the fastest cars in the world is a gtr that someone pushed 3,000 horsepower put of. But I think the gtr people are the sophisticated ones who understand culture and appreciate time. For sure
Exactly. The R35 will be timeless. I do want a R36 though. Its time to bring a massive overhaul. The competition has caught up, surpassed even, and for similar prices. 180k is ridiculous for a Nissan. And the interior feels cheap.
But other journalist like Jason cammisa,Johnny liberman, Jeremy Clarkson throttle house guys and Henry cathpole said it's steering wheel lack feedback and feel ( I personally don't know if true or not coz never was privellegd enough to drive one) so my question does it matter if it has an EPAS system or hydraulic because u know it makes no difference
Honestly it seems to me the reporter doesn't really understand what Kaizen means. It is not about updating frequently. I am pretty sure there is a big gap between American culture of newer and bigger and the very nuanced Japanese culture. Maybe it was just a bit of entertainment I took too seriously though :-) It is about continuous improvement of something - which Nissan did. That doesn't mean I would buy the car though.
…this chap really feels the soul of that classic Nissan - he can sense the generations of development and heritage that the the car exudes, and also describe Nissan’s engineering genius in drivers’ lingo - a brilliant review of a car that changed sheer driving as we knew it!
Rory is great at presenting! But also FANTASTIC job from the two videographers and the editor who made the whole thing look fabulous. Footage was beautiful. Great editing, great colour grading and music selection on point!
Had my window open the other night and in the distance i heard that sound. That one sound and i throught you lucky !!>@, LOL. One day a 3.8 VR for the time happy with my 3.0 VR motor ;)
Not really. There's like dozen of better sounding V6's out there, like the old Mercedes V6 DTM which revs to 12.000, or the Alfa V6. Hell even the NSX's V6 sound better.
My favorite car reviewer... Absolutely all his videos stunningly watchable.. I love how he explains things smoothly and softly in every details... Very clever, intelligent and undoubtedly the best reviewer by far.. cheersss ☕️
I think a lot of people aren't appreciating the fact that - yeah, the supercar game has moved forward, but the GT-R is still a unique combination of performance and practicality (and durability) even in today's world.
Fantastic review. The GTR is the best driving car ever made for the exact reasons you pointed out. The mechanical symphony of all the parts working together, no car feels like it. You can feel every tiny part working when you drive a GTR. Gives me that same happy/ warm feeling inside every time I get inside ours, just such a nice familiar feeling. Like being with old friends or coming back to your home after an extended trip. Makes me so sad watching this though, knowing that we are quickly approaching the peak of mechanical motoring before everything turns into one big battery on wheels.
I envy you for having a GTR! But also completely agree. I've driven one once and it was everything I wanted it to be. Sometimes a car just feels right in everything it does and the GTR was that for me. Like putting on an old comfy pair of trainers, but somehow it's like that right from the start. Amazing craftsmanship and design. Wish I could afford one. I wonder if anyone will be able to get that mechanical feel from an electric car?
I've never listened with my attention to an auto review after topgear and actually genuinely enjoyed the narration and points covered... Giving reverence where it's due...respects paid but still pointing out what's lacking in the most subtle and respectful manner...which this car definitely deserves...or atleast its legacy demands....I'm a fan now.
It's ironic that when the GTR first came out many called it a computer on wheels. But in 2021 the GTR is considered a dinosaur given the cars that are on the market today. I've never been a big fan of this car because of the school of fan boys that come with it but I certainly respected it for what it was/is.
@@bamaboy2711 every car has its fans I’m 24 and I’m obsessed with the Gtr call me a fanboy I could care less. You don’t even have a car in mind that you can think your a fan of
Wonderfully done review again by Rory, he truly captured what the GT-R is all about. Definitely one of the best, right up there with Henry Catchpole and Chris Harris.
Totally Top Gear Jeremy clarkson style of presenting it. Even the rhythm of your sentences and they way you emphasize certain words in your dialog. I like it !
Man, I have never left any comments on RUclips, but this review was beyond amazing. Top Gear quality but with modern twist. Simply beautiful and clear.
The GTR must have cost a lot to develop relative to its sales volume, so they've boosted it to its limit and they're keeping it on sale as long as possible. If they can't justify investing in new sports cars, it's better to have the aging GTR (and the even-more-ancient 370Z) than to have nothing sporty. I'm guessing a GTR would probably still hold its own in a track battle against new cars costing the same? I own a Jaguar XJS, and that was in production for 21 years. The GTR has a way to go! ;)
Yes, just like the gen 1 NSX at the end of it's run. Hopefully we appreciate the old master before it's gone. Maybe Rorie will be doing a retospective in 10 years time on these same roads in an example that will go to Bonhams, waxing of the departed gas regime dispatched by the new electric overlords of Tesla.
That comment about letting the car sort itself out after sending it around a corner is exactly why I love my G35! I have a CTS V, it’s fun, wild, but I absolutely love how my G35 comes out of drifts and pretty much always rights itself in very a smooth manner, such a satisfying feeling!
Rory, I love your reviews. You are so well spoken and have so many informative points about how a car feels l, looks, sounds, and behaves. It's so good in fact, that I almost can imagine what's it's like to be behind the wheel of one of these absolutely mad cars. I must add though that I do disagree with your comment on the gauges found within the infotainment system. They are useful and they help you monitor what the engine is doing. This is helpful when you take it to the track... Which God knows we all would. Anyway, thank you again for another amazing review and take care.
Interesting How the new GTR Philposhy is going Light, The GTR was built on a Heavyweight Sports Car for better grip through Corners. Long Live GodZilla
@@BobMonkeypimp Considering the competition 1671 KG for AMG GT-R, Porsche Turbo S 1655 KG it's relatively porky, but the Implementation of the weight is Different, Moving the Weight underload for External grip when changing direction is similar to the Porsche Philosophy of moving weight backwards for rear grip when Accerlating , i was just noting the Change in Philosophy which will ultimately mean a different steering and handling, therefore the Wings and And Aerodynamics now need to compensate for The loss in weight
My GT-R at 750 HP spawns the words Gritty & Raw, a down to earth beast. At 4K+ RPM it explodes to life. Not as comfortable or quiet as my 450 HP Q50, but the GT-R is a more visceral driving experience. As to the new GT-R, it's hard to improve on perfection. 😉
As a GTR Fanboy and Purist, I started to hate you halfway through, but, you gave incredible honour to the car. Thank you. It was a pleasure to watch in the end.
Nissan GT-R is standing still because it's so advanced and perfect at the time, she doesn't really need any big changes. I love my Nissan GT-R forever.
Great review, the fact that this car is still on a performance level with newer more modern rivals shows how good it actually is. The next gen gtr will destroy the opposition, people just need to be patient about how the Japanese do things. I would buy this car in an instant.
What the f? This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen apart from those 3 chaps ?? It is so well balanced, it's true that it's old and not so competitive now, but that is what makes it more appealing imo. Brilliant
One of the best videos I've seen on RUclips. This guy makes reviews poetic! I never thought 180k could be justified for the nismo but wow does he do well! Nismo = Kaizen 👌🏽
I LOVE this car! What people don't understand is that not everything new is better especially if you don't dedicate the budget and the research and development to make it better. I will take a Japanese engineered platform that has been refined for 14 years over a brand new, rushed to market Renault developed car any day. Also doesn't hurt that this car is surprisingly practical for everyday driving and gets great fuel economy for a supercar. This is definitely a dream car for me. I don't know but several of the current generation of JDM cars really speak to me would make up my perfect dream car garage. That garage would have this Nissan GTR-Nismo, the Honda Civic Type R, the Subaru WRX STI S209, the new Nissan Z Proto Spec and the Acura NSX Type S. All these are amazing driver's cars and I believe all these cars are modern day classics that will only appreciate in value and desirability once they are gone.
If nissan made a successor to the 370z (the 400z), then the gtr *must* have a successor like all of their other nissan lineups. 3:42 *the wheel saves 5 grams, 5 MASSIVE GRAMS* 😂
These things have some of the best turbo sound. I had the chance to drive behind a Nismo GT-R in a group drive for about an hour; it was fast in the straights but it seemed to bog down a lot in corners. I was driving my OG M2 and didn’t have any issue keeping up.
I am obsessed with these cars but after this video, I think that obsession has gone up, if that's possible. What an absolutely brilliant and authentic video.
Great video! You hit a lot of great points, and everything you said made me fall in love with my GTR all over again. This car is not for everyone, but it is a hero to those who know and understand it. Godzilla.
Rory the way you speak is like listening to a motivational speaker or life coach. Really good keeps me watching even if it's a car I don't like. Great presenting. 👍
This channel deserves way more subscribers. Rory! Awesome review mate, everything was beautifully put together. I remember seeing a documentary on evolution of Skyline and was shocked to know that even with R32, they have capability of up to 1000 hp on stock gearbox. No doubt it’s the first choice for many enthusiasts. It’s just timeless.
Top gear really shaped how cars are reviewed, the metaphors, the cinematography, the way they weigh the pro's and cons without molding the viewers opinion and then dropping a "bombshell" in conclusion
Only the haters say that. People that know, who have driven the GTR, which ever one it may be, knows just how much car they are. You wear them, rather than drive them.
I usually sub to care reviewing channels for the cars here I sub for the way theses cars are being reviewed by Roy I’m surprised this Chanel is not at a million sub yet dude is beyond good & the editing is just genius.
The GTR hasn’t made much progress in performance because it’s performance has been spot on from 2007 when it first came out. The only place where it hasn’t been spot on is the interior, luckily they fixed that with the 2018 model. Still, mega cool machine, I remember getting to know about cars back in 2017, and watching this smoke supercars in drag racing and fast road driving and Top Gear’s race across Japan with this thing was my favourite feature.
Rory is brilliant at reviewing cars. It is a blessing for Auto Trader to have him. Rory is one of the best presenters at the moment. Keep it up Rory!

i almost started crying at the end. i absolutely love your videos sir.
Dare I say this? I'm from the era of Jeremy and Tiff and I must say I'm not sure what's what anymore. Rory, you're effin good
If nissan made a successor to the 370z (the 400z), then the gtr *must* have a successor like all of their other nissan lineups.
3:42 *the wheel saves 5 grams, 5 MASSIVE GRAMS* 😂
Well, the base R35 model has been announced to be discontinued in 2020. We can only hope Nissan is working on R36 in the background.
I have a 2012 Nissan GT-R and it such a hoot to drive. It just puts a smile to my face. I can’t explain it.
This review in a form of story telling is elite !! Wow!
the best pure car in the modern history diserves a review at the same level, well done
The content on this channel seems to be getting better. Like the GT-R gets in the hands of tuners.
This is the most honest review I've ever watched.
GTR & Busa, the timeless work of art.
Good review, you just renewed my love for this car.
Great review, for a great car. As always Rory, thanks for this piece of art, and thanks to all the team at Auto trader. You´re awesome guys
Honestly who makes you feel more connected then Rory. His reviews are so frigging engaging! Who's better????? I'll wait........
Awesome work by Rory and crew.
These things have some of the best turbo sound. I had the chance to drive behind a Nismo GT-R in a group drive for about an hour; it was fast in the straights but it seemed to bog down a lot in corners. I was driving my OG M2 and didn’t have any issue keeping up.
Love the way Roy spoke about the GTR's modern rivals and they show a 🐎 very brilliant! 8:06 😊
I am obsessed with these cars but after this video, I think that obsession has gone up, if that's possible. What an absolutely brilliant and authentic video.
Rory is killing the car reviews!✌🏿
Last statement about the present future and past was brilliant.
Beautiful review. And as they say “Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.”
Great video! You hit a lot of great points, and everything you said made me fall in love with my GTR all over again. This car is not for everyone, but it is a hero to those who know and understand it. Godzilla.
9:12 So well written. Great stuff Rory
and beautifully edited. Thanks editor
Great photo and video (again). Thing is, Rory has the ability to speak a lot and all of it feels interesting, relevant and purposeful. I'm impressed!
Nice Tag Heur chronograph upping the watch game Rory
Rory the way you speak is like listening to a motivational speaker or life coach.
Really good keeps me watching even if it's a car I don't like.
Great presenting. 👍
I feel u rory.. everytime u laugh when taking corners..the adrenaline is savage! I have one though lols
will you play with the turbos, like brook berrini prime cuts GTR?
@@xpengfangirl7942 already did lols
@@ahmadfahim189 and what happened?
@@xpengfangirl7942 lol better power
This channel deserves way more subscribers. Rory! Awesome review mate, everything was beautifully put together.
I remember seeing a documentary on evolution of Skyline and was shocked to know that even with R32, they have capability of up to 1000 hp on stock gearbox. No doubt it’s the first choice for many enthusiasts. It’s just timeless.
Rory is fantastic 👏
R35 still one of the great designs ever made.
Top gear really shaped how cars are reviewed, the metaphors, the cinematography, the way they weigh the pro's and cons without molding the viewers opinion and then dropping a "bombshell" in conclusion
Please start adding a track list for these videos. The music is great lol
this was an unbelievably heartfelt, honest review of one of the legends of the game by none other than the master of the game :)
Epic review....epic roads....wow!!
We got to agree rory is one hell of a presentor
'This GTR feels stuck in the past. A relic'
Me: looks at my R33 GTR very nervously
Only the haters say that. People that know, who have driven the GTR, which ever one it may be, knows just how much car they are. You wear them, rather than drive them.
I usually sub to care reviewing channels for the cars here I sub for the way theses cars are being reviewed by Roy I’m surprised this Chanel is not at a million sub yet dude is beyond good & the editing is just genius.
Kaizened the bejesus out of it.
Quote of the decade!! 😁🌟🌟👍
The GTR hasn’t made much progress in performance because it’s performance has been spot on from 2007 when it first came out. The only place where it hasn’t been spot on is the interior, luckily they fixed that with the 2018 model. Still, mega cool machine, I remember getting to know about cars back in 2017, and watching this smoke supercars in drag racing and fast road driving and Top Gear’s race across Japan with this thing was my favourite feature.
I am a huge lover of the GTR and I remember this car would win every drag race..but now the seem too lose their hype When it comes to drag races
the gtr is a tune car
The GTR made car companies go back to the drawing board when it first was released.
