TCC’s Bottom Line

If you want a supercar that looks the part and drives the part but aren't smitten with the usual suspects in this class, the NSX is your kind of machine.

The 2021 Nissan GT-R is still a performance monster, but it’s no longer the value that it was when it debuted more than a decade ago.

TCC Likes

Gorgeous looks
Technological powerhouse
Excellent performer

The grip is incredible
Responsive dual-clutch transmission
Astounding acceleration

TCC Dislikes

Not quite as emotional as the Italian competition
Where's the hybrid gas mileage?
Supercar cachet isn't there

Styling doesn’t look the part
A $212,000 Nissan does not compute
Decade-old appointments
