Nissan GT-R News

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

There are four of them at the Nissan factory in Yokohama. They are called the Takumi, and they are the craftsmen behind the great 3.8-liter engine that fits into the engine bay of the R35 Nissan GT-R. These are hand-built motors, and each one receives the builder's signature plaque when it's...

We often hear about the horsepower wars that are still taking place amongst a variety of automotive manufacturers. Only slightly lesser-known are the GT-R wars. This is a battle of a handful of aftermarket tuning companies that seek to push Godzilla to more and more amazing feats of speed. The...

Nissan has unveiled a new special edition GT-R sports car that will be limited to just 100 units for worldwide consumption.

We already know Nissan is working on a NISMO-enhanced GT-R for launch in 2014, and we also know that it’s set to be the fastest road car ever launched by the Japanese automaker. But now we know roughly how much power the car will deliver. Speaking with Top Gear, Nissan officials revealed that...

The Nissan GT-R is a tool crafted by both wizards and engineers. Perhaps we should call them wingeneers? (Yes, I made that up on the spot--trademark pending) The car is capable of defying physics on a race track or winding road, and then can be driven comfortably on a road trip that stretches for...

Just in case its street-legal Tumbler Batmobile wasn’t enough, Saudi Arabia’s Team Galag has brought along a custom supercar based on a Nissan GT-R platform for the Gumball 3000 rally taking place this week in Europe. The car is called the Team Galag TG1 and it made its debut on...

Online automotive channel Drive has a new season of its popular Chris Harris On Cars segment and the first episode starts off with a bang. The episode sees three of the world’s best sports cars pitted against one another, though the choice of cars is a bit odd. They include an Audi R8 V10...

Usain Bolt has earned the title of "World's Fastest Man". That's what they call you when you win gold medals at the Olympics and hold world records for both the 100 Meter and 200 Meter. Bolt's fleet feet have helped him run into other gigs outside of the athletic world, however. One such job...

Nissan has put a price on the most-wanted GT-R of the season—that's the competition-focused 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition. On this very limited edition (only 150 cars for the U.S. market), it's $115,710, or $116,710 after the $1,000 destination fee. The Track Edition forgoes the back seats...

Drag races between cars and jets may not be the most accurate way of comparing performance, but they certainly are fun to watch. The latest pairs a 2014 Nissan GT-R with a Hawker Hunter fighter jet and sees the two face off on a runway strip in Switzerland. The stunt was organized by N_Magazine...

In the world of supercars, there are battles and then there are "battles." This is one of the latter. In this rather dry and yet superficial look at the Nissan GT-R's snow-driving capabilities, Nissan sets up one heck of a straw man--or snow man, as it were. Testing slalom, acceleration, and...

Bentley's exploits in high-speed ice driving are well-known--and officially recognized. But for Nissan of Europe, the official Guinness certification apparently wasn't as important as going flat-out on Lake Baikal in a bone-stock GT-R. You see, the claim made with this video is for the unmodified...

The original Nissan Juke-R seemed to answer a question that few people were asking: what if you took an ordinary crossover and grafted the mechanicals of a world-class supercar to it? The end result was an unexpected hit the world over, and enough buyers stepped to the plate with a cost-be-damned...

Coinciding with today’s formal announcement by Nissan that Nismo will become its exclusive performance and motorsport partner, was confirmation that the next model developed by the Japanese tuning firm will be a new, high-performance Nissan GT-R. Serving as the flagship of an expanded Nismo...
