ONLY ONE BETHESDA BUSINESS OFFERS THE GIFT OF GODZILLA FOR CHRISTMAS (PHOTO)
Give the gift of Godzilla - as the Nissan GT-R is known - from Chevy Chase Nissan in downtown Bethesda.
The GT-R is the spiritual successor to legendary Japanese sports cars like the last-generation Toyota Supra, and Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4.
All three feature timeless designs that suggest no specific decade - designs that innovate, rather than ape other classic cars.
Like the VR-4, the GT-R features a twin-turbo V6. But at nearly 3 times the price, the GT-R is a true supercar. 545 horsepower. 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.
With stats like that, the GT-R really will treat vehicular challengers to a Godzilla-style beatdown.
The showroom Christmas tree sets quite a scene, with this GT-R in its most flattering color - black.
