Nissan's GT-R has always offered Porsche beating performance for less but now, with its Australian release confirmed for 2009, it's got the looks to match.

Run for the hills, Godzilla is here
The latest Nissan GT-R, the R35, has finally landed in Australia, although it won't go on sale until sometime in 2009.

Here it is being driven on to the stage at this year's Melbourne Motor Show at a rather more sedate pace than its maker intended.

Is it true that thereis a perishable part within the actual engine that requires replacing every 12 months? I assume this is a engine dismantle and rebuild.

Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007)

The GT Sport TSI shape-shifts easily between a relaxed cruiser and inconspicuous hot-hatch, and the 1.4-litre Twincharger engine is an engineering marvel. But the GTI is just five grand more. Decisions, decisions.
