Nintendo on wheels. Soulless. Very fast. Waiting for 3rd party verification to confirm the 'hype'. Uncool.

uncool. Cant even put after market wheels on it. Any one who buys this will not be cool. They will just be a tool with the newest techno toy that didnt have the good sense to buy a R-34.

Only because Poloyphony Digital and Kaz help design the GT-R's instrument display, user interface and layout hehe

So it is more PS3 than people care to admit

Cool on so many levels. Mini Veyron is right. It seems this car is getting accolades for its transmission just like the Veyron and its ability to do so many things in so many different situations. They got the transmission right the first time around. I'm surprised Porsche is still working on the DSG for their 911 even while having ownership stake in VW after promising the transmission for some time now. The GTR's gearbox also seems to work much better than the R8's semi-auto box or BMW's SMG. Their ability to make something work the first time around and leap ahead of established motorsport marques like BMW's M Division makes this car an automatic cool.

I've seen it in person, and while it looks aggressive, it's too ugly to be subzero

its a cool car .. all the RnD that went into the car has to be respected .. yes it has a rediculous price tag and a "nissan" badge .. look at this car independently think of the technology driving this car would be a ball!

Saving Sub-Zero for the V-Spec.

As long as you are not driving. As far as i know the people that put aftermarket wheels on the car had to drive it in with OEM wheels on and change them once it was in the show. Any car so against modification is uncool to me.

Cool. Definitely, an amazing car. Though i don't like the looks, the technology beyond it is simply astonishing. And the most important part - it works.
It pretty much can be called subzero, but... not by me, as the one and only true GTR for me is still the real "Godzilla" - the R32.
