Why is the Nissan GT-R considered a supercar killer?

I've heard that the Nissan GT-R is often referred to as a 'supercar killer'. What makes it special and capable of competing with supercars? Is it just the horsepower or is there more to it?

The Nissan GT-R is definitely a special car in terms of performance. Its advanced all-wheel drive system and twin-turbocharged V6 engine give it amazing acceleration and grip on the track, often rivaling or even beating more expensive supercars.
