The Nissan GT-R has been declared the \u2018Best Car Ever\u2019 at this year\u2019s Dubai International Motor Show.

Kalyana Sivagnanam, President of Nissan Middle East and Regional Vice President Marketing and Sales for Africa, the Middle East, and India, said: \u201cThe Nissan GT-R known for its signature design and incredible high-performance, it has won numerous accolades around the world. We are extremely pleased with this exceptional award, which was chosen by attendees of the show along with experts in the field, and is a testament to the car\u2019s popularity in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shahzad Sheikh, the Automotive journalist, and expert said: \u201cThe people have spoken! And they choose the Nissan GT-R as the best car ever and they did this life at the Ignition Live Talks at the 2017 Dubai International Motor Show. We had an incredible session during our Ignition Live Shows, in which we got our audience to show visitors to help us choose.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheikh added; \u201cIn the end, we whittled down a list of well over 30 iconic and legendary cars, to just three: the Porsche 911, the classic Ford Mustang, and the current Nissan GT-R. With the Porsche taking 3rd place as a huge crowd gathered to see who would win, it was down to just the Ford and Nissan. It was extremely close in the end, but based on the audience response, the GT-R was definitely the No1 choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
