The Nissan GT-R is a high end sports car available in three levels: Base, Black Edition, and Platinum Edition. The GT-R concept debuted at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and the production model was displayed at the New York Auto Show 2008. It hits North American dealerships in June of 2008 with supercar level acceleration and all-wheel drive. Nissan is hoping the GT-R will be able to compete with cars like the Audi R8, Porsche 911, Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvette.
