Road & Track’s 2024 Performance Car of the Year Contenders

“Then I took it to the street and realized something that you need a road to learn: this car is fast. Like, really, really fast.

I love a race track to find out where a car’s limit is (and maybe go just beyond it once in a while) but tracks warp your sense of speed and make most cars seem slower than they really are. But out in the world, particularly on the windy, steep Oakville grade, the NISMO positively rips. The real-world power is immense, paired expertly with the gear ratios, steering ratio, and brakes. It’s like the BMW M2, but smaller and even more connected to the road.” R&T, September 2023
