The Egoist Edition Nissan GT-R was a Japan-only version of the supercar known as Godzilla. The Egoist sports numerous interior and exterior modifications to provide the ultimate GT-R with modifications like a carbon-fibre rear wing and 20 different interior options.
Powering the GT-R Egoist was a 3.6-litre twin turbo V6 that produced 523hp and 612Nm of torque brand new. The Tendulkar GT-R also has a wide-body kit from Japanese tuners Wald fitted to it.
The current Nissan GT-R, (the updated version of the car Sachin used to own) uses an updated version of the same engine producing 562bhp and 637Nm of torque which is sent to all four wheels through a 6-speed twin-clutch automatic gearbox. 0-100km/h takes just 2.9 seconds and the top speed is 320km/h.
