Two accolades to add to the list today as Nissan wins AUTOMOBILE Magazine car of the year 2008 as well as the Car of the Year – Japan’s Most Advanced Technology Award in Japan. Nice work Nissan!

“[The Nissan GT-R is] a supercar that delivers powerful performance and clean emission, featuring an advanced new body structure combining carbon, aluminum and steel, in addition to its impressive dual-clutch transmission and the world’s first independent transaxle 4WD.”

— Car of the Year Japan Executive Committee

‘What we love about the GT-R is that it refuses to compromise. It is not comfortable, it is not trying to make friends and it is not trying to influence people. It exists for one reason only ‘ to go fast ‘ and it does.’

— Jean Jennings, President, AUTOMOBILE Magazine
