Is the Litchfield Stage 1 Nissan GT-R R35 the ultimate real-world supercar killer? Standard, the facelift R35 GTR puts down 562 BHP, but this Litchfield Stage 1 build pushes output to a staggering 590 BHP – complete with a Litchfield Y-Pipe for enhanced exhaust note, custom transmission mapping, and feature highlights like rolling launch control.
In this detailed review, encyCARpedia takes a deep dive into the facelift Nissan GT-R R35 (Prestige trim). We examine every angle, from the functional oil cooler vents and twin-turbo VR38DETT V6 engine layout to the controversial cosmetic bumper vents, titanium exhaust system, carbon composite bracing, and premium leather/carbon interior. Watch as we put the 590 BHP power down, demonstrate rolling launch control in action, test out the dual-clutch transmission in R-Mode, and evaluate handling on farmer John’s private country roads. Thanks farmer John!
Whether you’re comparing the GT-R R35 against modern sports cars like the BMW M4 Competition or curious about Litchfield tuning capabilities, this in-depth tour and driving review covers everything you need to know!

Big thanks to Farmer John for lending us his private country roads for this test drive! 🚜💨
The GT-R still reigns supreme as the ultimate supercar killer! I forgot to mention, but the G82 M4 competition xDrive holds nothing to this car. Since this video, I've had a Type 2 Maximum Performance alignment done, and Oh my goodness. It takes the car to levels I didn't know existed. I'll have to make another video. It's gone from bonkers to other-worldly.

What a nice video Dave! Awesome GT-R!
Would you be interested in reviewing any diesel cars?
By the way, do you prefer suggestions for more ordinary cars, or do you also enjoy unusual and crazy vehicles like the SHERP N 1200? I have ideas for both types, so I'd love to know what you prefer! 😄
Nice
