  • Paul Walker's Fast & Furious 4 R34 Nissan GT-R

    The car world is still recovering from Paul Walker's untimely and unfortunate death late last year, but love for the Fast & Furious franchise--and especially its modified cars--has never been stronger. As the next movie, Fast & Furious 7, moves onward, some lucky collector will get to take a look back at the R34 Nissan GT-R Walker drove in the fourth F&F film. The only hitch? The car is priced at a cool million euros. That's right, €1,000,000, which works out to about $1,350,000. If that sounds like a lot of money to you--even for an R34 GT-R--you're not alone. The price...

  • Switzer E1K Nissan GT-R hits 1,212 horsepower on the dyno
    Switzer Nissan GT-R Hits 1,212 HP On The Dyno

    Running 33 psi of boost is, by some standards, not all that extreme. Running 33 psi of boost in a flame-spitting Nissan GT-R built for the purpose by Switzer is nutty. Our kind of nutty. Like 1,212-horsepower nutty. Of course, that's horsepower at the crank. At the wheels you'll find...

    2015 Nissan GT-R Priced From $103,365

    When Nissan’s R35 GT-R first hit the scene back in 2008, it could be had for just under $70k. Today, you’ll need to pay $103,365 for entry to the GT-R owners club, as Nissan has raised prices on the car yet again. The $103,365 figure is for the 2015 Nissan GT-R Premium model and...

  • 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32)
    First JDM Nissan Skyline GT-R Legally Imported To U.S.

    In Europe, importing a car is easy. You simply arrange for it to be shipped, have it inspected to ensure it meets local safety laws, and pay any applicable taxes. In the U.S, all of the above also hinges on the car being over 25 years old, after which point the usual NHTSA and EPA regulations are...

    2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO Hits The Track: Video

    We’ve already seen it set an insane 7:08.679 Nürburgring lap time, but now watch the 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO on its home turf, this time lapping Japan’s Sodegaura Forest Raceway. In terms of performance, the car outmuscles some of the most sought after sports cars on the planet...

    2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO And GT-R Premium First Drive

    'Video-game-like' is how we've heard the Nissan GT-R driving experience described on many occasions. The description is apt, especially when you're out on the track. This is a car that's so astonishingly fast—0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds for the current 545-hp version—that you can become...

  • 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO prototype in the wind tunnel

    Nissan has released a documentary on the development of the fastest car it’s ever produced, the 2015 GT-R NISMO. The video provides a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the development of the car, including a rundown on many of the tests and simulations executed as well as interviews with some of the key people involved. The result of their labor is a comfortable, 2+2 seater sports car that only a few months ago would have been the fastest car around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife by a significant margin. The car needs just 7:08.679 to lap the German track, considered one of the...

    2015 Nissan GT-R Preview

    While the big news for the 2015 model year concerning the GT-R is the launch of a new NISMO edition, the fact that the regular GT-R has undergone some updates shouldn’t be overlooked. While the GT-R’s former development chief Kazutoshi Mizuno was a fan of making the base GT-R the best...

    2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo revealed, sets 7:08.679 'Ring time

    Appearances have never been completely in line with the GT-R’s unique combination of brute force and surprising finesse and capability. And for 2015, that dichotomy becomes more pronounced, with a stronger look, 600 horsepower on tap, and some suspension work that should simultaneously make...

    First Teaser Video Released For 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO

    The covers are set to finally come off Nissan’s GT-R NISMO at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show on November 20, a model we’ve seen in prototype form for the past several months, and this week has seen the start of an official teaser campaign to help build excitement for the car. Not that the...

    Nissan Confirms Hybrid Powertrain For R36 GT-R

    A senior Nissan executive has finally confirmed what we’ve already known for some time; that the next-generation GT-R, an R36 to all the fans, will feature a hybrid powertrain. Speaking with Autocar, Nissan executive vice president Andy Palmer said hybrid technology was beneficial for sports...

  • IMW8NG4U 3D-wrapped Nissan GT-R

    There's nothing quite like a brand new paint job, freshly applied from bare metal up. But not everyone can afford that, and if we're talking high-end luxury cars and supercars, not everyone wants to change their car in such a permanent way. Hence the popularity of wraps--vinyl and laminate sheets applied to the car in pretty much every color scheme under the sun. You can barely drive a city block without seeing a matte-finish car these days, while some have taken it a little further. Velvet, for example. There's still plenty of room to innovate too, as ReStyleIt has done with IMW8NG4U, a...

    NISMO To Spearhead Development Of R36 GT-R

    The launch of the R35 Nissan GT-R almost six years ago was an epic achievement for all involved with its development. After all, here was a car capable of outperforming exotic supercars costing twice as much, as well as being able to seat four adults in relative comfort and being easy to drive...

    Switzer-Tuned Nissan GT-R Hits 250 MPH In One-Mile Blast: Video

    The Switzer Goliath is a Nissan GT-R that's been worked over to produce gobs of horsepower. Gobs, of course, is a very technical term that means "a whole hunk of." In this case, the gobs refers to a figure north of 1,700 horsepower, and that's plenty to propel the GT-R down the Dragtimes dragstrip...

    New GT-R Boss Chasing Quality And Value Rather Than Performance

    Kinishi Tanuma, Nissan’s new chief engineer for the GT-R, has some pretty big shoes to fill. He’s the replacement for Kazutoshi Mizuno, the man credited with making the current R35 GT-R the world-beating performance machine that it is. He was also a proponent of keeping the GT-R’s...

    New Nissan GT-R To Feature Williams Hybrid Tech: Report

    Last month reports emerged claiming Nissan’s next GT-R, the R36, would be introduced as early as the 2016 model year and that it would likely come with some form of vehicle electrification in order to boost its performance while also cutting back on emissions and fuel consumption. In fact, a...

  • 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO spy shots

    Nissan recently confirmed that its next NISMO model will be a more extreme version of the GT-R, and now we spy shots of a prototype of just that car, caught while undergoing testing on Germany’s Nürburgring and some of the race track’s surrounding roads. The GT-R NISMO will be the flagship of Nissan performance partner NISMO and is expected to make its debut at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show in late November before hitting showrooms next spring, as a 2015 model. Helping with the car’s development is none other than the Williams F1 Team, well, the team’s technology...

    Nissan Organizes Test Drives Of Its 2013 GT-R NISMO GT3 Racer

    In the secretive world of race car development, it’s rare that a constructor will allow just about anyone to test one of its cars. Heck, constructors even withhold engine specs to maintain whatever edge they think they have over the competition. But in a rare opportunity, Nissan will allow...

Set for a reveal at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show in November, the GT-R NISMO is tipped to...
