NISSAN GTR EVOLUTION PLUS

NISSAN GTR EVOLUTION PLUS

The intermediary grade sees the return of the T-spec special edition that builds on the Premium and adds GT-R Nismo carbon brakes, 20 inch gold-painted Nismo Rays forged wheels, Nismo-enhanced Vehicle Dynamic Control, a dark Mori Green upholstery shade, plus two exclusive body colors. One is the regular GT-R Premium which features the same 565-horsepower and 467 lb-ft (633 Nm) 3.8-liter VR38DETT V6 mill, AWD, plus just a six-speed dual-clutch sequential transaxle transmission. Going forward, the 2024 GT-R will be offered in just three trims. Anyway, the GT-R still “ thrillingly combines a high horsepower engine with impressive handling and useful technology for everyday driving.” The new model year brings with it “ in-depth enhancements” that touch on the aerodynamics, the styling, and the collectible goodies.Īs such, the first things to notice are the refreshed front and rear styling, the “ new rear wing designs,” as well as the apparition of the optional Nismo package bringing some exclusive wheels and an onslaught of carbon fiber elements. Ironies aside, the 2024 model year of the seemingly eternal R35 Nissan GT-R has been (finally) announced, and the goodies are probably worthy of its ‘15th anniversary.’Ĭalled by Nissan “ the pinnacle of high-performance engineering,” the 2024 GT-R does not come with modified specifications as they probably already feel they reached the summit. After all, some of its youngest fans were not even born yet in December 2007 when the Japanese automaker kicked off manufacturing. UPDATEIt's finally official! But as expected, not much has changed.Frankly, it would be entirely excusable if not everyone remembered the date when the current, sixth generation of the Nissan GT-R nameplate went into production. On the other hand, what did you expect from the high-performance variant of a sports coupe? The NISMO isn’t a point-A-to-point-B vehicle like a Corolla or Camry, but a white-knuckle ride with Nissan GT3 know-how. Capable of hitting 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) in under 3 seconds, the NISMO is a bit of a gas hog. Definitely not a wowzer by modern standards, but still a hoot to drive. More powerful and torquier, the NISMO further sweetens the deal with Recaro leather-appointed seats, carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo, more downforce, and an unmistakably stiffer suspension setup.įor the NISMO, the peeps at Nissan upgraded the force-fed V6 to 600 horsepower at 6,800 revolutions per minute and 481 pound-feet (652 Nm) at the same RPMs as the Premium. The Premium and NISMO both rock a dual-clutch transmission with six forward gears. Those ponies are delivered at 6,800 revolutions per minute, whereas the 467 pound-feet (633 Nm) of torque can be fully enjoyed from 3,600 to 5,600 revolutions per minute. The Premium base trim level comes with 20-inch forged alloys from RAYS, no-nonsense brakes from Brembo, the Bilstein DampTronic suspension system, ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive, and the VR38DETT twin-turbo V6 with 565 horsepower on deck.

of A., whereas the NISMO specification retails from a whopping $210,740 sans destination. $113,540 is the starting price of the 2023 model in the U.S. It originally retailed at $69,850 in 2008 for the 2009 model year, which is $97,395 adjusted for inflation. Feeling old yet? The R35 certainly feels old, especially in comparison to hi-po alternatives in the same price range. As for the oily bits and other go-faster shenanigans, your guess is as good as ours, although we’re certain that a V6 hides underhood.Ĭodenamed R35, the GT-R entered production back in December 2007. The big question is, are the headlights different? We’re not holding our breath for that, though, because the quad taillights appear unchanged from the NISMO Special Edition. Minor changes were operated up front as well. The paint, black wheels, yellow brake calipers, and Dunlop tires are shared with the NISMO Special Edition. We also notice vertical carbon-fiber additions on the rear corners of the rear bumper, and it’s pretty obvious that a massive rear wing is also featured. Clearly based on the 2022 model year GT-R NISMO Special Edition, the V6-engined brute is rocking a very impressive rear aerodynamic diffuser made from carbon fiber.
