GTRs will forever rule! Ever since the R32, they've been damn near unbeatable. Great job, NISMO.
this is the only sportscar, that's worth this amount of money. What's the point of sportscar, when they're just a Name? Thanks Nissan, thanks NISMO, this is just the master piece in the world of sportscar. i'll own this car...
How can something that used to cost £55K and now costs £125K be worth its money?. Its not even as good to drive on the public roads as the standard car (which is the whole point of a sports car).
Nissan need to take some lessons from Porsche and -
a. Bring out a new car
b. Make the track versions (i.e. the GT3) as good to drive on the road as the race track
Take a lesson from porsche! why are the new 911 gt3 4.wheel drive? abandon the manuel klotch to the PDK? why are they so hight up the power on the common generation, but keep all the confort, not anymore that bloody plastic back windscreen. Well it's your right to like porsche, but one thing is clear, the one that actually try to catch up is porsche. Porsche made a good car, but i am sorry, this price tag for a car that in no case better than the gtr. You just pay more than the difference for the Name porsche. And if you are agree with that, so your's, i'll don't.
roland ken
The GT3 is 2 wheel drive???
Just looking at the interior justifies the extra cost, the new Porsche has the best interior i have ever seen, the GT-R was abysmal when it came out 8 years ago, now its totally unacceptable.
The GT-R locks out launch control after a hand full of launches so that it does not explode. Just search for the video '911 turbo S unbreakable' Even after 50 launches in a row it still hits identical 0-60 time.
That my friend is what you pay for, and is the difference between Porsche engineering and Nissan cutting corners.
this current generation gt3 is the first with 4 wheel drive. As i said, it's your right to love Porsche. And just mention the point of the reliability for the Porsche is not the a brilliant choice. This model had a bad start. So the interior, i ask you, what is the point of a sportscar? be a rolls royce or get arround a circuit as fast as possible. Only you can find such word to describe both interior and the difference between them. if you can name just one stuff in the interior of the Porsche, that you can't found in the GTR NISMO, tell me, i'll please you for it. If you just want a german made interior for that money, a Mercedes S AMG is a better choice. According to your last passage, the GTR is the best sportscar.
Sorry roland ken but you are wrong! The 991 GT3 is still rear wheel drive - however 4 wheel steering [the rear axle has some actuators, which are angling the wheels for a couple of degrees].
And if it comes to the point, when you are questioning quality of interior, it obviously seems, that you are not in the market for such vehicles. Off course, driving dynamics are very important [but then the GT3 has pretty flawless and awesome dynamics, and is so much lighter than the GT-R].
But if you don't want to have it just as weekend warrior, it should be also adequate inside. It has nothing to do with Rolls Royce [by the way, you seem not that much a car guy - otherwise you would have mentioned Bentley, which is still well performing, but also beautiful, and sadly very heavy].
AMG Mercedes are definitely also great cars, but their character is totally different! It is definitely not a better or worse choice.
I guess you are a Forza warrior, but reality is definitely a bitch - you don't want to drive regularly a car, which would result, that you also need to see regularly a chiropractic... and which is plasticy inside. And most people also don't want to have a vulgar braggers' car. The fastest is not always the best... in reality!
Just watching how it turns/shifts direction on video, is bunkers. They know what they're doing alright. What an amazing car. Notr for me, but damn impressive none the less.
For God's sake Autocar you had the 991 Turbo S recently. The GTR Nismo needs to go up against it. It's all very well saying now great it is but put them together and see what the figures say!
The Turbo S is a way better car, it will outsell this every day of the week.
just look at the dashboard, even skoda make this thing look cheap
Way better car? The GTR Nismo went faster around the Nurburgring.
M3Conv
But on the track you look like you're driving a tractor. Have fun with your understreer.
M3Conv says the first gen m3 owner.
Kid go play your toys. For this price there is no otber car achievable of such figures. Id rather have this over a boosted beetle for sure.

cannot get enough of this car!! state of the art!! beautiful!! powerful!!!!!!! lovely!!!!!!!
4:45 - Finally found the perfect car for me. Thanks Autocar.
At least the nismo doesn't catch on fire like the gt3 haha
GT3 doesn't you idiot.
I never said it wasn't the GT3.I said it doesn't catch fire anymore because they fixed it so take those words back you idiot.
it took them half a year to fix it. that's long enough to never forget about it
ThePhiltastic Honestly? The 458 caught fire as well, when it came out. So what? They fixed the problem - that's it!
***** ok - shit happens. Cars, are called back, which are produced in 4 or even 5 figures - due to defect brake pedals etc.
Porsche [and Ferrari] are much smaller.
They are testing their cars over 100k or even millions of kilometers. And they are also using great components and materials. But a car is as complex, that something like that can happen - doesn't matter of the price!
So the 458 and the GT3 caught fire. Both companies acted fast and responsible - and the problems have been fixed. Case closed!
Autocar Thank you for placing the camera over the shoulder while driving/reviewing the car. Makes a huge difference and adds excitement to the review instead of just watching the reviewer talk and talk and talk.
Pretty sure no one buys a GT-R Nismo for daily driving duties...
Turbo S sucks compare to Nismo GTR. I think Nismo did bargain the 918 spyder.
***** Use your left brain smarty
its just a pretend race car with no history, R33 and R34 = track legends.
R35 = 99th at Le mans
M3Conv turbo s is 10 times better , comfortable , more fun , luxurious and in the right hands , could lap any circuit faster than this piece of junk. Gtr acceleration and lap times have never been matched by nissans claims , the 0-60 is always over 3 seconds , and its one party trick "its cheap" is no longer the case either.
jamietherooster you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about kid
jamietherooster My 2013 GT-R reliably does 0-60 at 2.9 or 3.0 seconds measured with a Vbox. No mods. The GT-R is the real deal. People that say the numbers aren't real have not sat in one or have not read enough about the car. Just silly to make such statements.
I just watched an American review and I'm so thankful for the British ones
Its funny how automotive journalist always complain about how hard the suspensions of these 1/2 road 1/2 track beasts are when there are millions of enthusiasts all over the world daily driving modified cars with teeth smashing suspensions without a care in the world. This is simply because it takes lots of money and skill to modify and tune nicely damped suspension that is still capable of carving corners so most just choose to live with very stiff suspensions. These enthusiasts would give anything to own and drive a car like the Nismo GTR and would marvel at how the car manages to be so aggressive with such a "smooth" suspension.
Also the AWD system and a redesign tire. Tthe new Nismo is highly based on rear wheel on track with its retune ET-S (GTR) AWD system, the system will sent power to the front later than the old version and this will allows more "rotate" as MotoTrend racing driver Randy Podst said. That actually called understeering, and understeering allows a sharper maneuver. The combination of retune ET-S (GTR), its sharper steering system and stiffer anti-roll bar and damping will make the car handles like god, it can choose any lane it want on a race track. Brilliant piece of machine! Who the hell design it?
As you can see at 6:55, clearly see the ETS (GTR) split most of its power to rear wheel can't tell how many at that time but a lot. Then rear steps out, ESP brake outter wheel and ETS system split power to front wheel, power oversteering ended instantly, also look how quick he straight up the steering wheel and how quick the car actually straight back up. That really thanks to its stiff damper for a more effective steering response. If you power oversteer in an Audi, lets see how long will take you from oversteer to push to straight up. Again, GTR's main disadvantage is weight and too tall.
The release of the Nismo means the R35 is facing retirement. I wonder what's next.
They say 800+ HP hybrid.
keep a close eye on nismo's new lmp1 project, the nismo gtr lm.
what they learn from that will influence the next gen road going gtr, very exciting times for nissan..
sw1000xg
Its a flawed design unlike Porsche's i.e. even the track day specials like this one are way too heavy to become dominant at top level racing.
sw1000xg looks better? you mad?
sw1000xg I'm kinda glad that Porsche's tend to have a neutral face to it instead of trying to look angry/mean/aggressive. Mind you, I give Godzilla here the leeway for looking big and mean because it's Godzilla.
All these people saying they'd rather have Euro can go out the proverbial door and make sure to close it behind them. The NISMO would annihilate a Ferrari or Porsche.
***** If you want to be slower and have an(imo) uglier car, sure get a Euro.
annihilate at what exactly?
Last time i looked Porsche and Ferrari were dominating in racing.
Nissan and particularly the GT-R are winning zero.
NISMO is just an advertising gimmick for an end of run car, £130K for a R35?, whats the point?, car is way too heavy to win anything other than a single lap of Nurburgring, and there aint no prizes for that one.
M3Conv I'm not talking about pro racing, I'm talking about street cars.
Jared Moore You think GT-R is pretty lol
Kremer Drei No, I don't think it's pretty, I just think it looks awesome(An RX-7 on the other hand is beautiful)
you are, quite simply, the best car reviewer i have seen
Nissan GT-R Nismo. GODZilla keeps on killing !!!
Nürburgring laptime: 7:08
What blows me away about this vid is how narrow the track was yet how little tire squeal I was hearing. That alone is a testament to how this car handles.
Nismo GTR is a fcking beast man, my dream whip right here or a Black edition. These.cars.are BOSS, u can pull up in ur Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, etc. and get left in the dust honestly hahah I love it
NOTHING is better at doing what this car was designed to do than this car is. There's isn't a production car on the planet that can outrun it for less than half a million dollars. I think any minor shortcomings it has on the road are well excused.
Great video, awesome editing! Great to see the outside shots matched up with the interior noise shots/placement too. For a car that's getting on a bit this thing still looks great I reckon.
I want to see a Top Gear review now. Maybe they should redo the bullet train challenge!
Massive kudos to Nissan.. Mainstream manufacturer making something this bonkers!
I believe the GTR has revolutionized the Supercar world and set the bar pretty high with track time.
godzilla is back...since i knew the nismo gtr was coming back i was sure it would be the monster it is....one of my dream cars dont care what people might say.

cough 2 seats...
cough price tag...
cough not road car...
cough no luggage...
cough last year 918...
cough cough........ cough!
That's one hot backside! I could just feel it sticking to the track, great review starting to like this guy as he gives a real man's perspective, then drives it like he stole it and then gets serious and then calm....all this while the editing is perfect, sounds visuals and narration....keep it up
finally somebody reviewed the GT-R Nismo i been waiting for the longest time for this
That guy is totally in love with the GTR, I respect the hell out of that car & I'd love a go in one to see just how fast they are
Crossing solid white line road markings...naughty !!
GTR every time.
Don't get me wrong, I love the GT R, but there was amazing hypocrisy within the video. All the while he was going on and on about steering precision, and being able to place the nose within millimetres of where you want, the external footage was all misjudged corners where the wheels where creeping onto, or over the center line.
Those were open public roads, with traffic coming the other direction. Obviously the wheels were not within millimeters of the driver's intended line.
I was seeing the same thing; normally the editors pick the best clips as well. Go figure...
The way I see it is u can't not come off the gas in a corner because of all the power but once you do...u can place the car where u want
Beautiful car...Well done Nissan
Can't wait to see this go up against the GT2 RS.
The GT2 RS will probably catch fire ;)
point4894 It could happen to the GT2 RS you never know mate.
Lambo Fag In GT2 RS has never been a problem. Probability based on the legendary reliability Porsche even less than lights GT-R. By the way, I have something for you. Follow the link. Do not cry.
Nürburgring Nordschleife Nissan GTR V-Spec on fire
Lambo Fag More lambos have caught fire than Porsches. Lamborghini makes shit cars :P
andrey svit Well, that's ironic
I still wish they could've done something with the sound. I know it's not so easy to make a turbo charged car sound great, but almost anything would be an improvement over the industrial vacuum cleaner noise it makes now.
The "Superleggera" version of the GT-R, that is. Looking forward to some head to head with European (911) or even American (Z/28) cars.
911 yes, gt3 rs or gt2rs but no z28 camero. Its a great car for the price, but those tires though.
American *(zo6)
At around 500lbs-ft of torque at idle, that car will be a monster IF GM gets it to hook up.
GTR is quicker anyway...
why the Z28? because the Z28 beat the last track edition gtr? the match up was already unfair for the Z28 vs the GTR, then it went vs the track edition and still won... so you want it to take the the nismo now? lol you crazy
justin bouche
No doubt the z28 is a very capable track car but good tires make a huge difference in lap times.
What I will remember from this video is that you had at least one beautiful sunny day in UK in 2014.
7.08 around the Nerberg ring. I think that says it all!
I'm not a massive GT-R fan (well, not any more at least) but this one is mind-blowing!
Mr. Sutcliffe, this is the very first time I've seen a car bite you and take you by surprise... Yawsa. Scarry.
Great review once again.
A huge fan ...
As a big fan of godzilla
ın 2007 I couldn't believe the specs , the results and also the price around 50k (smiliar to M3) with a performance of 911 Turbo S at that time
Now 125k it has to be much much better than current 911 turbo S otherwise
Nissan is never ever equal to Porsche as a brand
Problem here is price in GT3 territory. Probably not a fast on track then GT R but handles far better on both track and street.The 911 Turbo S has set the bar far too high.
I am not sure any GT R will ever eclipse it.
Porsche has really done a real nice balancing act with 911 Turbo S.
This GT R has become 1 track minded frankly.
So, why all these track upgrades, £125K price tag, and still no ceramic brakes?
the japan engineers know whats the best for their massive machine
Feel is different. He said the brakes are good with no fade, if that's the case then you don't need carbon ceramic brakes...
***** I get all that, but this is supposed to be the track version lol. You want less noise and better street driveability buy the standard car. Not to mention that the suspension is so stiff for the road that it doesn't exactly score much points for driveability to begin with.
Pliaskam Vilo Do you even know the disadvantages of having carbon ceramic brakes? First of all is the lack of feel, and that's vital in 'the track version lol'. Also, ceramic brakes would add about 10K to the car's price... that's A LOT. Why are you complaining again? Do you know why carbon ceramic brakes are used in the first place? This isn't an endurance racer neither is it an F1 car, it just doesn't need carbon ceramics to counter brake fade if the steel ones are doing their job well...
***** It is an option, albeit an expensive one, that you can spec from Nissan. The CCM brakes are first used on the SpecV and I read somewhere that those brakes alone costs $30k.
0 to no license and or jail in say 6 seconds, what a beasty! Would more tire help or ruin the dynamics?
Great job Sutcliffe, as always.
I'm in love with this car and I wish I can get early 2015 :)
Godzilla just got supersize. It's just an amazing machine. Thank you Mr. Kabuto Koji.
amazing car i really love watching it... even i get sweaty watching the car go through corners like that !.
Keep in mind folks this isn't the same car that lapped the Nurburg Ring in 7:08, that was a special edition track time car which is not in production
Don't fret about the ride stiffness too much, Steve. One can still buy the standard GT-R.
The 7:08 minute time had some extra additions to it, but it's still fast as fuck!
The 7:08 lap was done with the Williams F1 track pack, which is also available to buyers.
anotherone10 I thought that the track pack was going to be available next year. I didn't see anywhere, that it was available this year.
***** Yeah its not released yet, but I meant the package that was on the car that set the 7:08 laptime wasn't a one off just for the record, it will be available to buyers eventually. Sorry for the mix up.
anotherone10 Yea, that's what I thought. I was aware they were going to sell it next year, but it's not the same car in this video. Regardless, he stated it wrong.
Actually came out with it in late 2008... *flies away
This car is a brain enhancer, just how beautiful it takes those curves with ultimate prescision. I just want to buy a used Nismo right now just live this warp drive ride around a race circuit! Every other competitor is not as well engineered like the way this team has spent their time, and the result is notable in how F1 Williams team really made a difference assisting birthing this monster!!
I get a good sense of how astonished this editor feels about this car, a driver who has tested other brands such as Italians, Germans, British, other European supercars and the unrefined American muscle cars with their notorious for tire spinning lame feature are unmemorable to Super Godzilla. I say chums to this Frankenstein thrill machine. Everyone else has made an automobile that has been seen in the past and present, but this car is one hell of a sweet ride you can forget. I guess car buyers are going to have to decide whether its racing DNA is livable as an everyday car or whether it would just prudent to buy a wannabe sports car that is a boulevard cruiser.
Haters gonna hate the GTR.
This will munch the Porsche turbo S.The great thing about GTRs is that they respond to tuning by leaps and bounds and you don't have to drive around with a crew of mechanics everytime you plan to nail it.Give a ferrari a thrashing and you have to change everything after wards.Porsches stand up better than ferraris in that department they are much more sturdy and reliable.
Steve is a boss, love this!!
used GT-R with Litchfield suspension and brakes upgrades, and about 750 hp is perfect for me! perfect for road use. no need for Nismo!
I do wonder why they only bother taking 20kg out from this GTR, as I recall the Spec V is like a 100kg lighter and also has ceramic brakes.
Anyway, if you want the ultimate road warrior, this might be it
I'm really a Porsche guy but this car really has some underground übercoolness about it (...yes...it IS possible to like both!!!).
Crazy fast, looks like kitt from knight rider in Super Pursuit Mode at the very end.
The standard tires on the GT-R are run flats which plays a big part in why it rides so harsh. For most GT-R owners, changing to MPSS usually improves noise and riding comfort without hampering the handling.
even range rovers have run flats , and they are one of the most comfortable cars on the road, as does the mclaren p1, 12c which again have no problem handling bumps .
jamietherooster The side walls on the stock GT-R run-flats are very very strong which makes them great for track days but not ideal for DD.
#motortrend this is what you call a non-bias review.
jesus. this thing came out 7 years ago!?!?! wtf i didn't think gtr's were that old. it was only 54k to start with as well. i think i should buy 3
It was never 54k. Lol... More like 80k.
H1mynameisLarry no it was £54k its not even £80k now.
GTR R35 has been and always will be the best supercar money can buy, there is no supercar comparable to a GTR, it puts Ferrari and Lamborghini to shame. Long live the king of cars! :)
Wow, the nismo is one hell of a car!!
I just might buy one. They are half what you guys pay here in Canada. Lucky us.
Right-hand drive car with a Swiss license plate, now that's interesting.
Good video but you missed out the big question....
is it worth the extra cash over a standard GTR and would it really cost as much to modify a normal GTR to get to this level???
i think not but then you lose warranty and rarity value i guess.
But still to much cash for a Datsun for me... 991 GT3 get my vote for that much cash....
Looks like one of their race cars with a stereo.
This thing is clearly the fastest car on the road for 120k... 7:08 on Norschleife is not that far from 918 Spyder OMG ... i don`t think is any other car this fast under 200k or even above 200k, BUT, the 911 Turbo S has better ride quality and 4 wheels steering and i think that is it... I`m not a GTR fan, but this thing made one ... what a car... And i thought the "standard" GTR was fast :)))
I don`t think it doesn`t have understeer, it`s impossible, but a little yes... The only minus is the ride quality ...
from the first generation of the R35 to this current NISMO version Nissan have gained over 110bhp!
7:55 cool Nismo blur on the rims!
I am so curious about how the next GT-R will look like and how it performs, because when they release a Nismo version after 7 years of production, it's comming to an end of the R35. The next gen really have to live up to something!
Yet another great review by mr. Sutcliffe
So it is as fast as a 2008 Viper ACR on the ring. Impressive
the alpha male of the godzillas
Standard GTR + AMS or Switzer upgrade = Nismo killer
Why is he complaining about it being too stiff for the road? Thats why its the Nismo...you want everday comfort get the regular one or another car.
The heart of a Maxima the soul of a Robot. Nissan innovating the future for those with no skills.
Can't wait for the GT2RS. Lol
This is the one Chris Hoy crashed at Goodwood
or you could buy 2 2012 gtr's and tune the shit out of one and use the other as a daily driver.
That makes no sense at all :S
Yeah i'm sure you would do a better job at tuning and refining the car thatn nissans r&d department.
Mike Newbold i'm not saying i would, but you could get it 80% as good and give it more power to make it faster
Lawrence Timme it's a GTR i think it's already fast enough tbh. A non warrantied map, exhaust and filter won't make it a better car in anyway.
Mike Newbold exhaust will improve it massively. the stock one is much too quiet. i think upgraded turbos, injectors and cooling could get it to 650-700hp.
Still a surprising car in many ways but that Nismo version at £125,000 is very expensive. I'm sure the extra time put into each one is not cheap but for that money I expect a much improved interior (centre console in particular as that lump of plastic looks nasty) a better sound and decent lights with LEDs included rather some some cheap looking after market types fitted like all these crappy cars worth £500 driving round with max power style ones.
It's still a monster but at that weight it's not a viable option for many. Why spend that money when a GT3, Caterham or Lotus Exige etc will allow you to have even more fun for a lesser amount.
I think people just buy them cause it's a legendary car,with kind of a heroic cult figure in the car community,it has 10's of victory's on its name in all sort's of race's,started with the r30 in the 70's,beat everything else ther was ,till the r35gtr who still's beats anything in outward acceleration there is..they dont care for the money,and really not a fanboy,i love all fast and beatif.cars :-)
Nicolas Dujardin u pay for the performance and speed.if u want a luxurious 125k thin buy a bentley
Complaining about the interior materials on a track focused car is a bit silly.. Take a look at the interior of the Ferrari F40.. Does it look luxurious? Hell no, but who cares? It's all about the performance, not accoutrements. Sahiel5 is right, if you want lavish interiors and flashy LED's then look at a Bentley.
The new 991 GT3 might be slightly faster than the GT-R in a short and twisty track, but the difference won't be much and both will be fun for very different reasons, not to mention GT-R's 300++ liter boot and back seats making it the more practical car, but the GT3 is smaller and easier to park.
Still, if its against the GT-R Nismo, I don't think it has a chance. In fact, you need a lot more cash to get a car that can beat the GT-R Nismo.
Has anyone even driven a nismo r35? or are they just basing it off what this dude said...? Cause i havent, and im pretty sure everyone here hasnt either. Seriously, if your arguing its too rough for street use, thats a whole load of crap. Ive seen so many ridiculosly stanced, lowered, cut, heated suspension setups which would probably give a horrible ride and make the Nismo gtr feel like a bloody mercedes family sedan. Ferrari and Lambo? They are also HORRIBLE to drive on the streets. Ride comfort aside, Having driven a murcielago, its impossible to do a proper U turn with them, you cant go over dips at high speeds (80KPH) without raising the car, you cant even have more than one passenger! All these arguments are rubbish lol. The only Ferrari which can beat this is the LaFerrari, and the only Lambo would be the Veneno. And they're Bloody hyper cars(not even in supercar territory anymore), which is probably 10 times the price of this GTR.
Not her claiming to have driven or seen 1. There have been a few reviews come this month. Like here reviewer says ride on street is very stiff. Track performance and turn is much improved from what I have read. The video does backup that claim. I have seen performance #'s and weight also. Let's say I was not impressed. This beating any car but the Hybrid's I would say no also.
A Viper TA is far lighter and powerful. I don't see many cars beating a TA on any track but the new Z06. The physics don't lie. Both are lighter and have more power then NISMO. It will be probably be even in slower turns but straits based on weights I have seen, NISMO sucking fumes.
Motor Trend will be doing a Leguna test next month. If a 650S is there, it is taking everything from better ride on street,Track and drag race.
Mclaren has been doing some development and testing there lately.
Not claiming to be no expert like many here but 650S has more power and less weight, so drag race is already in the bag.
***** Thanks man, You supported and proved my argument 100%. Yep exactly, i agree with you man, nothing wrong with stiffness, its a supercar, its going to be stiff, its not some european luxury sedan to take kids to school in, if you dont like it, buy something else. You proved 90% of people here wrong :)
***** Of course they can, but 90% of people who even bother being fake are preteen sheep and teeny boppers haha. You were more sophisticated and and literate :p Hence why i believed you. Np man!
LaFerrari in italy costs 2 mln €
Jeffrey Williams The point of GT-R (and Nismo) is not just the speed it can do, it's the accessibility. Sure a Viper TA is light and powerful, but how many can drive it at its limit? Sure a pro can drive the Viper TA and C7 Z06 and demolish every other car, but what about a normal person? The true value of Nismo is not just the speed, it's how easy to do the speed.
Dang. Crazy car.
Love this vid, it's such an intense car!
Like a lot of people mentioned, please do a head to head with the new 911 (991) Turbo S. This would be a great test.
Just out of interest?
What would be faster around a track? Nissan Nismo GTR or current NGTC BTCC car? I reckon it would be a good match!
Both on sliks then ... Well a race is a race car, this is still a road car with airco, satnav, 4 seats etc. It would be interesting to see though!! :-)
Yep...this is the haybaled Nismo GTR at Goodwood FOS LOL. GJ Sir Chris Hoy
I tell you the perfect match up. 458 Speciale vs 911 gt3 and the Nismo GTR. And ı think the Nismo would surprise us all...
i have 2 questions ;
1) If you already owned a GTR & won $30,000, would you sell yours and upgrade to the Nismo version or just use that money on an aftermarket company to tune it ?
2) If you don't own one, and had $130,000 to spend, would you buy the Nismo GTR or still buy the regular GTR and get an aftermarket company to tune it ?
One of many after market tuning companies like ; Switzer Performance or AMS, etc..
For the road maybe not as it's my dd. But if I wanted the ultimate there is no alternative. My Superleggera was more beautiful and in your face, but the GTR simply rips the tarmac. R36 with torque fill, I'm waiting..yummy
No matter which tuner you choose, non can compare with a properly engineered factory machine. Its designed to last, has a warranty and its from the manufacture. Same question has been asked a million times on my CSL and whatever people say about tuning a regular M3, there is no replacement for the genuine factory special. This is regardless of whether you have the $$$ or not to purchase it. For people that will buy these, I do not think the price tag will put them off as its designed to be way more exclusive.
still buy a nismo the reason behind is if you are keeping the car over the years the nismo version will hold the value (cos its from the factory and the limited production) and might even double up as for a tuned one no matter how much you spend on it the 2nd hand value drops.
The Nismo actually costs $51,000 more than the standard car in the US. The TA version will cost an extra $30,000 over the base nismo.
Note that the price they quoted was in pounds (more than the US Dollar). The Nismo is more like $225,000. MUCH more expensive than the standard GT-R.
ride quality can't be worse then a stance nation street car. Just can't. I also warrent that there is room for fine tuning on the suspension that would make it faster and more comfortable.. Something like Ohlins or Moton race or something along those lines with a proper revalve job
They went the stiff route for Nismo because on most tracks the road is smooth, thus its a logical decision. The Nismo N Attack that set the record lap at Nurburgring uses Ohlin dampers on soft setting.
my other question would be: nismo: stiff compared to what? I didn't see a ride comparo to say a gt3 or a m3 GTS or an AMG black or other hardcore version.
Thats how u make a 4wd supercar, Audi!
hey the r8+ is great cmon
lam neth But then the Audi is way more expensive than the GTR, and on the track it will never be as fast. Only if Audi can make an Audi R8 V millions plus plus plus plus plus then maybe it will be as good as one Nismo, but then it will cost a million pound.
Arey Tang the r8 isnt meant to be a track weapon, its a lot more comfortable than the GTR and has an amazing sounding v10 engine..different experiences
My local track :)
Nissan should use this 591bhp tune in the standard car as a power pack to those that don't want the ultra stiff ride for the road.
Yes, Enjoy best of the best review.
Great review! Would've liked to have seen a launch control though!!
I just put down a deposit, should be here in OZ 2017 so I'm told by Nisan
Steve Sutcliffe is a former racing driver. That says a lot about the car.
Amazing car !! Woaw !
125K wow... Happy days for those people who can afford this car ei? :/
