Why is the Nissan GT-R known as the 'Godzilla' of sports cars?

I've heard the nickname 'Godzilla' associated with the Nissan GT-R. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind it?

The Nissan GT-R earned the nickname 'Godzilla' due to its ferocious and powerful performance, comparable to the iconic monster.

The GT-R's origins can be traced back to the Japanese supercar scene, where it quickly gained a reputation for destroying more expensive and exotic competitors on the race track – earning it the title of 'Godzilla'.

Some attribute the nickname to the GT-R's sleek and aggressive appearance, resembling the famous giant lizard in its striking design.
