The Nissan GT-R is a stunning performance car that continues to amaze with the 2016 model. It's now in its seventh year, with Nissan continually refining it and making adjustments to keep it fresh. The GT-R Premium trim got a striking addition of 20-spoke wheels, while a 45th Anniversary Gold Edition was produced in a limited quantity. Regardless whether you opt for either of those or the GT-R Black Edition, the GT-R was engineered to be one of the quickest accelerating supercars out there, making the Bugatti Veyron sweat. Not too shabby from a car that shares a nameplate with the Sentra!
