Nissan GT-R News

When the snow falls in Belgium, it covers up one of the world's great motorsports circuits. Spa-Francorchamps is sitting under a whole bunch of the white stuff at the moment, and that means the track is closed. Well, it's not totally closed as the driving instructors at RSR (Ron Simmons Racing)...

The Nissan GT-R, as it comes from the factory, is quite a beast. It's capable of accelerating to 60 miles per hour from a standstill in less than three seconds.

Soulless, ugly, and overweight. These are the three things I hear nearly every armchair-enthusiast fanboy say about the Nissan GT-R. The NISMO? It's scoffed at as an even more ridiculously priced Nissan with more boost and little else. All of those people are wrong. The jeers of the GT-R being...

The Mercedes-AMG GT S and Nissan GT-R NISMO have been designed to appeal to very different buyers, but it’s still awesome to see the two cars go head-to-head in a drag race. The drivers get a 31-mph rolling start and there are two separate runs featured in the video from GTBoard. MUST SEE...

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and Nissan GT-R couldn’t be more different. One’s a rear-wheel-drive sedan powered by a supercharged V-8 while the other is an all-wheel-drive sports car with turbocharged V-6 power. There’s one thing they have in common, however, and that’s...

This Nissan GT-R is a hyper-focused two-door destroyer of race tracks. It's also a car that can be driven to the grocery store, or to and from work on a daily basis.

There are many things the Nissan GT-R excels at—but thanks to its all-wheel drive, drifting typically isn’t one of them. But this is no typical GT-R. It’s a 1,000-hp smoke-belching, rear-wheel drive beast. ALSO SEE: Nissan GT-R Blows A Tire At 200MPH, Driver Keeps It Together...

Oh to have a powerful computer. We're assuming you need to have a solid machine in order to produce the kind of visuals we're seeing from YouTuber David Massieux. He recently posted a video showing his in-car view as he piloted a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 around the 24-hour race layout at...
