2009 Nissan GT-R Vehicle Overview
Introduction
Technically, the 2009 Nissan GT-R isn't a Skyline -- that
distinction now belongs to what we know as the Infiniti G series, which
is marketed as the Nissan Skyline in Japan. But don't let the official
nomenclature fool you. From its familiar twin-turbocharged engine and
all-wheel-drive layout to its telltale circular taillights, there's no
mistaking the new Nissan for anything but a modern-day Skyline GT-R.
The big deal for Americans is that the 2009 GT-R marks the first
time this legendary performance car will be officially sold stateside.
We also happen to be getting the most ambitious version yet. The
great-granddaddy of the new GT-R, the "Godzilla" R32 Skyline GT-R
produced from 1989-'93, was designed to equal the performance of the
iconic Porsche 959. Nissan's benchmark for the 2009 GT-R? The mighty
Porsche 997-series 911 Turbo.
That's a tall order under any circumstances, but Nissan's President
and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, sent the degree of difficulty skyrocketing when
he agreed to green-light the GT-R project on two conditions: first, the
base price had to be about $70,000; and second, the car had to be
profitable, i.e., not merely an image-boosting "halo car" that would be
sold at a loss. Improbably, the GT-R has succeeded on all counts.
Ghosn's conditions have been met, and we can confirm that the 2009
Nissan GT-R is indeed a match for its Bavarian benchmark at the track.
Never before has such stratospheric factory performance been available
at such a reasonable price; in fact, you'd have to look long and hard
to match the GT-R's performance at any price.
Safety
The Chrysler 300 LX doesn't get much in the way of standard safety
equipment, but antilock brakes and stability and traction control are
at least optional. They are standard on all other trim levels. Front
seat side airbags are optional on all regular Chrysler 300s, while
full-length side curtain airbags are optional on all but the LX and
standard on the SRT8.
In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash testing,
the 2009 Chrysler 300 earned a perfect five stars for driver and
passenger protection during frontal impacts. It also earned a
highest-possible "Good" rating in the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety's frontal-offset crash testing. In government side crash
testing, the 300, when equipped with the front side and full-length
curtain airbags, received four stars for driver protection and five
stars for the passenger. The IIHS, however, tested a 300 without the
side airbags and gave it the worst rating of "Poor."
