Nissan GT-R News

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Nissan’s highly anticipated 2015 GT-R NISMO has finally been revealed, and we have the first live photos of the car direct from its debut on the eve of the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. On hand to help present it was Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn as well as factory racing driver Michael Krumm, the man...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The Nissan GT-R is a supercar for all seasons.

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...

Late last year, a Nissan GT-R finished in ‘Bolt Gold,’ a unique paint finish developed by Nissan in celebration of Usain Bolt’s success at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, was auctioned off to help raise funds for the athlete’s charitable foundation in his native Jamaica...

Nissan is the third automaker this week to reveal its new racing car for the 2014 season of Super GT. The car’s official title is the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 and it recently underwent its initial shakedown alongside rivals from Lexus and Honda at the Suzuka Circuit. To develop its new...

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...

The latest iteration of the Nissan GT-R can already hit 60 mph from rest in a blistering 2.7 seconds but that number is expected to drop with the arrival of a more potent GT-R NISMO model currently in the works. Set for a reveal at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show in November, the GT-R NISMO is tipped to...
