We spent time with the GT-R on the congested streets of Johannesburg, as well as the wide-open spaces of Killarney race circuit in Cape Town and found the GT-R took both in its stride. Forty-five minutes in stop/start traffic is a place nobody wishes to be, but the GT-R is no less uncomfortable than many luxury sedans. There's a Bose sound system to keep you entertained and an air-con that we reckon is powered by the same twin-turbo's as the engine, because the faster we went the colder it got.

Whatever its actual output, the GT-R has ferocious acceleration, rivaling many sports cars that cost far more. Because it does not use variable-geometry turbochargers, however, there is some turbo lag, with power coming on strongest above 3,000 rpm. Despite its power, the V6 is reasonably civilized; some reviewers actually complain that it is too quiet, lacking sporty character.
