The Nissan GT-R (R35) is very quick off-the-line for its rank bracket due to its high acceleration stat and well-balanced nitro. While its handling is hampered by its all-wheel-drive and weight, forcing it to drift more often than other cars, it is otherwise manageable and easy to predict, and so is it while drifting. The lost time when doing so can be compensated by its acceleration and Nitro.

Other than its handling, the GT-R's main disadvantage is its underwhelming top speed - even with Nitro at full power and when fully upgraded, can only reach 253 mph (407 km/h), making it an undesirable choice for multiplayer or Events. It is, on the other hand, a very good choice at early-mid single-player because of its low cost and much higher Nitro efficiency than its closest competition, the Ferrari 458 Italia and Mazda Furai.
