This is a badge that cannot just be bought but can be earned. Let’s take a look at five other automotive marvels that have been sported with the GTR badge.
BMW E46 M3 GTR:
The machine is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 producing 444 Bhp at the rear wheels, which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The car’s 0-100 time is just 3.4 seconds. This new V8 BMW helped them win against the legendary 911-GT3-R, the same Porsche that had beaten BMW in the previous championship by a huge margin. To allow them to race their new V8 M3s, BMW built ten street-legal M3 GTRs for the public.
McLaren F1 GTR
In the 90s the McLaren F1 was already the fastest street-legal car on the planet. However, McLaren wanted to take their game up a notch with regards to their track car. The F1 GTR was already famous at the time for winning the 1995 Le Mans 24-Hour race, while also maintaining the podium finish. The F1 GTR came equipped with the legendary V12 made by BMW, a restrictor with cooling ducts, a massive rear wing that ensured that the engine did not produce more than 600 bhp.
Mercedes Benz CLK GTR
If you played video games in the ’90s, you would recognize this machine. This car was actually a GT legend. Many CLK GTRs were built for road use in order to be eligible to race in the FIA GT Championship. The car was equipped with a full carbon fiber body and a V12 producing a little over 600 bhp. AMG actually bought an F1 GTR to test and see if their CLK was faster than McLaren, in turn beating McLaren that year.
Nissan Skyline R34 GTR
The R34 GTR was one of the most sought after cars in the 90s. Compared to other touring cars this piece of automotive marvel was well ahead of its time. The machine was equipped with a four-wheel-drive system that enabled it to take corners at blistering speeds. The R34 was mated to a twin-turbo straight-six engine with an estimated output of over 280 bhp, while the V-spec variant came with carbon parts such as a rear diffuser. For most petrol heads, the R34 GTR is as good as it gets.
Nissan R35 GTR
0 notes
One cannot even think of a GTR without the picture of the R35 in their mind. It is the latest generation of Nissan’s modern GTR. The R35 first came in form in the year 2007. Nissan has been tweaking and fine-tuning it as the years go by. The R35 is famous for its incredible acceleration and the fact that it competes head-on with Ferrari and Lamborghini. It is only recently that automakers have been able to compete with their 0-100 times of less than 3 seconds. This is possible due to its sophisticated launch control system and its four-wheel-drive mechanism.
