I had an up close & personal with this GTR the other day in KLGCC (that's the sticker on top of the road tax). Took me a while to realise that the entire car is covered with the matte film, which doesn't really like clinging on to sharp points, which is why there's some folds at the base of the rear spoiler. Still, it's visually very imposing, my brother was referring to it as the Godzilla GTR.

On the matter of the GTR as a supercar, what exactly denotes a supercar? Is it the cost, the rarity, the power produced, the engine capacity, the seating configuration, the engine layout, the 0-100 time, the 0-200 time, the 0-xxx-0 time, the size of its brakes, the drag coefficient, the kerb appeal, the size of its spoiler, what? Or is it a combination of all the above is some sort of mystical ratio no-one but Clarkson can decipher?

The way I like to see it, if it's not in here, it's not a supercar. Those guys probably know a bit more about this in a first-hand manner than most of us put together, so I'd think that there has to be some measure of truth there. Of course, lists are never infallible and mostly aren't totally comprehensive, and there are bound to be errors and mistakes somewhere, or some vehicle that defies categorisation. Whatever the case, the GTR isn't in the Supercar list, but it is in the Coupe/GT list. Although it's not what one would categorise an exotic, that does not detract from what an amazing vehicle it is, and why I don't mind seeing it in this thread.
