In 2010, these figures were updated to 523 hp (390 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 451 ft Models produced up to 2010 produce a manufacturer-claimed power output of 478 hp (356 kW) at 6,400 rpm and torque output of 434 ft The Nissan GT-R is powered by the VR38DETT 3.8L (3,799 cc) twin-turbo DOHC V6 engine. The GT-R has also retained its Skyline predecessor's nickname Godzilla, given to it by the Australian motoring publication Wheels in its July 1989 edition. Due to the GT-R's heritage, the chassis code for the all-new version is known as CBA-R35, or R35 for short (where CBA is the prefix for emission standard), carrying on the naming trend from previous Skyline GT-R generations. However, the GT-R is an entirely new model sharing little with its Skyline siblings and is a complete redesign from previous Skylines rather than an incremental evolution the four-wheel-steering HICAS system has been removed and the GT-R now uses a twin-turbo 3.8L V6 engine called VR38DETT, which replaces the previous RB26DETT 2.6L inline-6 engine. Similar to the later generations of the Skyline GT-R, the GT-R is all-wheel drive with a twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine and has the signature four round tail lights.


The Nissan GT-R, now a standalone model no longer based on the Skyline, has its roots in the Skyline GT-R. This car proved to be iconic for Nissan and achieved much fame and success on both road and track. Between 19, and again between 19, Nissan produced a high performance version of its Skyline coupe called the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
