The new Nissan GT-R made its debut last year at the Tokyo Motor Show. This car is powerful. This is a super sports car that drives like a regular vehicle, not the fancy car that it is. Nissan wanted to make people feel more comfortable in this car, and according to those that have test drove it, they definitely feel this is the case. Ezra Dyer, of the New York Times, wrote an article about the GT-R, and he cannot stop talking about its power. The GT-R is a four-seat coupe with a twin-turbo V-6 and all-wheel drive. It has a lot of special features such as an electronically adjustable suspension.
The R Mode is the most interesting part about the GT-R. You can set the transmission to the R mode and the what it is is that the transmission shifts as fast and as “brutally as it can.” Something pretty cool is when you set the transmission to the R mode, the suspension to R mode, and turn off the stability control. If you press the brake pedal and floor the gas next, then take your foot off the brak, the GT-R wil drop the clutch at 4500 rpm. This is called the launch control start. According to the senior manager for product planning at Nissan, Peter Bedrosian, the car is built to take this abuse.
The downside of this car……as you suspected the price. The base price is $70,850, but you can definitely expect to pay more. If you are looking for a super sports car, go for the Nissan GT-R!
