Ever since the Nissan GT-R was born in 2008, the car known as Godzilla has raced with just about every other supercar in the world. But one car that the Japanese supercar has failed to go head-to-head with is, ironically enough, its own.
Until now.
Japanese car show, BestMotor TV, has decided that if Godzilla were to meet its match, why not race it against two more of its kind. That’s right; it’s a triple-threat Nissan GT-R throw down!
The three cars are actually three model years of the Japanese supercar - the 2010MY, the 2012MY, and the 2013MY. Looking at the numbers alone, you could already make a case for the 2013 GT-R to be a step ahead of its older brothers - it has 550 horsepower compared to the 530 ponies of the 2012MY and 485 horses of the 2010MY.
All that being said, it still makes for a fascinating watch, especially when you consider yourself a fan of this fire-spewing, competition-trampling Japanese monster.

December 28, 2009 — The stillborn Acura NSX successor project from 2008 was reborn two years ago today in the form of a video capturing the Honda HSV-010GT and its 3.4-liter V-8 in a video. The same day, WOT featured some eye and ear candy in the form of a video of the then-new 2011 Ford Mustang V-8. Then we had a Thread of the Day that’s just as relevant in 2009 as it is today: “Would You Boycott GM if They Let saab Die?”
“WOT Two Years Ago” is an occasional series that takes a look at what was making news in the automotive industry two years ago in Motor Trend’s WOT blogs.
