joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 R32 GTR is a Sports Car. The local Lambo dealer is in South Yarra. I do recall the R35 GTR running similar times as a Lamborghini. this, this and this.

alr33x Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Gtr has Supercar performance but I wouldnt call it a supercar like a 458 / aventador / LFA to me supercar is exclusive and a gtr isnt exclusive at all. Ric gallardo under 200k is even rare! One day..

Birds Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 But where do you draw the line / price bracket to define it this way? That sounds more like the definition of an exotic than a supercar. Agree with Jamie & Hamish. I think the stigma of Nissan being a family car producer gets in the way of people thinking the R35 is a supercar. If it was the only car that Nissan produced, people would certainly think of them as a supercar manufacturer. Being that there's only one R35, it's 180k and it's bloody fast, I consider it a supercar. Though going by the supercars.net definition, every car is a supercar lol.

alr33x Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Definition of supercar would have to take into account scarcity I'm mean M/amg's aren't supercars I think being mass produced is the barrier for me I mean I see gtrs at least once a week comapre to an r8 lambo ferrari would be what couple times a year? The interior of a gtr is way below the standard of a supercar unless its changed since the 2011 model I went in an amg c63 interior munched it...

'the local lambo dealer' is only local if you live in south yarra, which I don't, therefore its not local. Drats I don't have a local Nissan dealership, because I don't have a Nissan Dealership in my suburb... Does that mean it's exclusive for you if you go to an area with a Nissan dealer? R35 = supercar But in saying that, the R35 GTR is still seen as a Sports Car, but has the performance of a Supercar.

Supercar unfortunately is more then just the performance it's the whole image / package for me You been in a 911 turbo? Terrible interiors! Or GT2/GT3 = no interior lol. I think it's more this perception that it has to be from Italy or Germany to be classified a supercar, because that's where the exotics and supercar manufacturers come from. Rolls Royce Ghost @ 600k-800k are super exclusive, but I wouldn't call these supercars.

I believe it is still seen as a Sports Car, yet Nissan has shown the capabilities of their design / engineering in this car to uphold Supercar performance. In average, it's about a 3rd of the price of a 911 GT2 / GT3 and probably around the 4th of a price of a Lamborghini.
