Fifth Generation (1999-2002), R34
The R34 GT-R was the last version of Nissan’s flagship supercar powered by the RB26DETT engine and featuring the ATTESA E-TS 4WD system. Thanks to increased structural rigidity for the platform as well as being dimensionally more compact than its predecessor (the R34’s wheelbase was 55 mm shorter than that of the R33 model), the fifth generation GT-R demonstrated even better handling prowess and performance. Improved aerodynamics, including a new underbody design that generated significantly more downforce, greatly aided this muscular-looking GT-R’s athleticism.
