The Toyota Supra came in second place, while third on the podium was occupied by the Subaru Impreza WRX.

“It’s no surprise to see that it’s been named as the most iconic Japanese performance car of all time,” explains Japfest event manager Katherine Chappell. No surprises for us, either, considering how much you lot out there love the Skyline.

But, should it have taken the top spot, or is another Japanese performance legend worthy of the title?

We’ve created a handy poll below, which we implore you to use. And, if you need any more guidance as to the GT-R’s provenance, have a click here to see every generation of the performance car.
