Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar's Nissan GT-R Egoist

The Nissan Egoist is a special edition of the GT-R and this is the first and only one in India. Sachin reportedly traded his Ferrari to acquire this car. The Ferrari was in news when it was gifted to him by none other than Michael Schumaker.
The GT-R is one of the greatest supercars ever made and comes at an amazingly low price which is made possible by Nissan's mass production techniques. It can be appreciated if we consider the fact that GT-R is being compared with cars costing 2-3 times the GT-R to even those costing 15 times.
This car would cost approximately over a crore in India.
