Honda NSX, this is a sports car that is both fierce and elegant. It will have a violent heart in a wild state. When the light lines across the night sky match the elegant body , it can cut through the silent air like lightning, but when you actually drive it onto the road, you find that its elegance allows people to drive with peace of mind.
Since entering the new century, NSX disappeared for a long time, but when it returned to the public eye with a 3.5L V6 twin-turbocharged engine, plus 3 electric motors, a With an output of up to 581 horsepower and a maximum torque of 645 Nm, the Phoenix has once again been reborn.
Toyota LFA, it can be regarded as a Japanese car closest to Ferrari. The global sales were limited to only 500 units that year, and China was only allocated 20 units. V10 engine + power that can break 100 mph in 3 seconds + luxurious carbon fiber body and interior, make the limited edition LFA the best in the eyes of many sports car enthusiasts.
Today's LFA has taken on a new glory in the hands of Lexus. The new LC not only takes over the mantle of LFA, but also embarks on an increasingly radical path. From product concept to final product implementation, members from the LFA team have broken past restrictions and shackles, allowing the blood of LFA to be passed on on the new GA-L platform.
The two top sports cars from Honda and Toyota are introduced above. Although NSX and LFA are both top-notch works among Japanese sports cars, as long as the "God of War" of Japanese sports cars is mentioned, people will naturally think The one that comes to mind is Nissan's GTR. When talking about the origin of GTR's "God of War", we have to mention the glory it achieved in the last century.
In just three years from 1969 to 1972, GTR created the myth of remaining unbeaten in 50 consecutive Le Mans races;
On the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany , GTR set an astonishing lap time of 7 minutes, 28 seconds and 70 seconds;
In 1988, GTR achieved an incredible performance in the JTCC competition, winning 29 times in 29 appearances;
After entering 2010, GTR, which had already won the title of "God of War", faced qualitative leaps in the opponents it faced, but GTR still created brilliance again. At the World Racing Championship British Silverstone Circuit, GTR won the race championship;
…
It can be said that GTR was born for competition from the moment it was born. In addition to its brilliance, its power performance He has also made countless opponents feel intimidated.
The 3.8L V6 twin-turbocharged engine, with a power output of 480 horsepower and 588N·M, makes the GTR a Japanese supercar that attracts global attention.
280 horsepower and 360 Nm, acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers in 5.6 seconds. This kind of power may not be outstanding today, but in Japan in 1989, the power combination of the GTR BNR32 could be said to be unparalleled. The enemy can be defeated.
This sports car, which was purely designed to squeeze racing performance to the limit at the time, once created a glorious record of winning 29 consecutive Japanese championships, and also made it the best-selling model in the GTR series. In "D" starring Jay Chou, this sports car also performed a passionate scene, and this car was also dubbed the "King of the Mountain Road" by everyone.
Although there are still many top sports cars in the world, the glory of GTR is largely due to the fact that GTR has always been based on the high-performance version of Skyline, which allows it to stand out in the world. century of racing excellence. But with the progress of the times, McLaren's F1, Lamborghini Diablo, Porsche 924 Carrera, Mercedes-Benz CLK, BMW M3, etc. have long left GTR behind. However, GTR has an affordable price and its profound modifications. The potential still fascinates everyone who loves sports cars.
I think there is a problem with the title itself. It may be a bit too subjective. In fact, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan all represent the highest level of the Japanese automobile industry, and each has its own unique advantages. It cannot be said that Ryota It has always been technically stronger than Nissan, and it cannot be said that if Nissan builds a GTR God of War, it will be better than Ryota. The development strategy of the automobile industry is different, and it is not measured by a certain car or a certain technology!
To be precise, Nissan’s influence in Japan is quite high. There is a saying that Toyota built the century, and Nissan built the royal prince. They can be said to be Japan’s royal cars. During World War II, , these two are manufacturers of strategic materials, so they have corresponding status in Japan. Honda only developed after the war, so its influence is not as good as Toyota and Nissan. In fact, Honda has a high international status, but domestically , the German Volkswagen is the earliest and most successful joint venture car. Only Toyota can compete with Volkswagen. Honda later became a strong competitor. However, Nissan’s domestic brand influence is not as good as Volkswagen and Ryota, so many people have the impression that The technology and strength of China and Nissan are not as good as Toyota and Honda!
In fact, this is not the case. Take engine technology as an example, Nissan’s VQ series is famous and recognized around the world. It has also been on the list of awards for many years in a row, including the variable engine that took 20 years to develop. Compression ratio technology, Nissan has won 16 patented technology awards in total. When it comes to technology alone, every Japanese car manufacturer has a unique advantage. Mazda’s Sky Blue engine is equally awesome. Unfortunately, most people only look at it when choosing a car. Brand, even mistakenly believe that the brand has high influence, the product is efficient, and the technology is the best!
Besides, only Nissan produces performance cars like the GTR Ares. Performance cars themselves have a small audience. Toyota has long been out of date in terms of performance cars, and Honda’s road models are inherently different from those of Nissan and Toyota. Honda specializes in small displacement, high speed, and self-priming. Even in the Japanese bubble era, the most glorious period of Japanese car companies, the cars Honda built were different from Toyota and Nissan, but only Nissan had something like the GTR. Performance cars are not right. Almost every one of these companies can produce special performance cars, such as Toyota Bull Demon King, Honda NSX, Mazda legendary chariot RX7...
Honda once asked F1 to update the engine rules, and Mazda It even made Le Mans change the rules. It can be seen that each has its own unique features. Why bother to say so much? It’s just that each manufacturer’s strategy is different. Honda doesn’t have a hardcore off-road vehicle yet. Could it be that Honda can’t build one? Obviously not. GTR only costs over 500,000 yuan in Japan, which is equivalent to a civilian sports car. In the era of self-priming, its brilliance was so great that it has been somewhat eclipsed now!
Japan's automotive technology is equally matched
No matter how bad the Mitsubishi market is
Media reports took away 7 billion
Suzuki withdrew its investment and left Bar
But sales are booming in India and Southeast Asia
Subaru’s all-import sales are small
But Subaru’s sales network is a global strategy
According to It is reported that the British prince owns a Forester
The technical quality of Toyota, Honda and Nissan is almost the same
Then why is Nissan lagging behind?
According to analysts at Dabaidu
The problem lies in the marketing strategy and brand appeal
Toyota and Honda’s market approach feels clean
It’s just not that complicated
Futada There is no French chairman and there is no such thing as Nissan and Peugeot sharing the same platform
Is it clean that my own brand shares the same platform?
Originally, the legal system could no longer be on the same platform
The good one was also pulled down!
The market image is illusory but vaguely visible
So if Nissan is not in decline
it is also suffering from the chaos of the management system
Speaking of GTR God Car
Advanced racing car
Honda has the NSX
Toyota also has the LFA
Honda also has an airplane in the sky
Toyota There is also the Century, the emperor's special car
Lexus's sales volume ranks first among all three German armies
In other words, the strength of Japanese car manufacturers is balanced
It's just a matter of market image
The problem is not big but the market response is big!

I would like to ask, how come Toyota and Honda’s technology surpasses Nissan’s? From your mouth or from real data
