Nissan’s new GT-R is aimed directly at the 2008 BMW M3 Coupe. Expected to debut with a twin-turbo version of the Japanese automaker’s vaunted VQ-series V6 engine boasting an estimated output of about 450 horsepower driven to the ground through an all-wheel-drive system, the Nissan GT-R is likely to give the BMW M3 a run for its money. Nissan’s styling is even more unconventional than the BMW’s, just the thing to attract the attention of a generation raised on the video games that have vaulted the GT-R’s predecessor, the Skyline GT-R, onto a pedestal with young American enthusiasts.

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.
