I recently just came from Sta. Rosa, Laguna where Car Awards Group Inc. (CAGI) has finished its last day of testing and processing of vehicles in search for this year’s Car of the Year and Truck of the Year. The third day consisted mostly of luxury vehicles and supercars (from Jaguar, Lexus, Maserati, Audi, and more.) and one of them is the legendary Nissan GT-R.
Jaguar F-Type & Nissan GT-R
Let me tell you from the get-go that this is not a review, nor is it a promotion of some sort for Nissan. I was just able to get a brief time alone with it (as with all the other cars) and decided to share the experience with you, our dear readers, since we know many are interested ever since it made its official debut in the Philippines. We thought you guys would like to see it as it is apart from brochures or promo videos.
So this is just a quick rundown of the car’s exterior and interior in addition to some acceleration tests. We had a route to follow for testing all the vehicles and this is where we took the GT-R for a spin.
We hope you enjoy the video as much as I (obviously) did riding it and be sure to check back for upcoming content on cars (yes, we have a lot in the pipeline for you).
