PRICE : For 2017 Nissan GT-R $109,990
If you're inwards the marketplace for a high-dollar sports car, it's a proficient fourth dimension to hold upwards alive. There's a novel crop of novel or refreshed vehicles inwards that class, including the 2017 Nissan GT-R. Granted, the GT-R remains fundamentally the same vehicle that debuted way dorsum inwards 2009, but Nissan has tried to maintain it fresh over the years amongst a nip hither too a tuck there. That tendency continues for 2017 amongst a subtle face-lift, a slight increment inwards powerfulness too an improved interior.
Like most sports cars, the GT-R requires some sacrifices amongst regard to comfort too convenience. Then again, shoppers inwards this arena are to a greater extent than oftentimes than non willing to surrender some refinement inwards the refer of performance. And the Nissan GT-R definitely performs, fifty-fifty though it's no saltation chicken at this point. It set the mighty 911 Turbo on reveal when it kickoff hitting the market, too it's even too therefore ane of the fastest track-day cars yous tin buy.
What's fifty-fifty to a greater extent than impressive is how slow it is to induce the GT-R quickly. It doesn't receive got a seasoned racing veteran to brand the magic happen, cheers inwards large percentage to technological advances that serve equally a skill-enhancing security cyberspace to compensate for driver inexperience. The downside is that seat-of-the-pants drivers powerfulness experience a combat disconnected equally a result, almost equally if they're playing a video game.
The novel Acura NSX is perchance the GT-R's most direct competitor this twelvemonth amongst its similar reliance on technology. More traditional competitors such equally the Porsche 911, Audi R8, Mercedes-AMG GT too Jaguar F-Type R supply a to a greater extent than engaging driving experience. We also reckon the to a greater extent than affordable Chevrolet Corvette too Dodge Viper to hold upwards feasible alternatives amongst a distinctly American brashness. Fortunately for you, there's non a bad apple tree inwards this barrel, too therefore happy hunting.
EXTERIOR
The novel GT-R boasts a thoroughly refreshed outside aspect that adds a high feel of trend to what is already considered ane of the most distinctive-looking sports cars inwards the marketplace. Highlighting the forepart of the motorcar are a redesigned hood, forepart bumpers, Daytime Running Lights (DRL), too a novel matte chrome complete "V-motion" grille, which represents ane of Nissan's latest pattern signatures. This distinctive grille has been enlarged to increment airflow to cool the engine without causing whatsoever additional drag, too the refined shape blends smoothly amongst a novel hood, whose structural rigidity has been increased. By essentially eliminating hood deformation, testing has shown that the novel hood pattern greatly improves aerodynamic performance at the forepart of the vehicle at high speed (200 km/h or more).
In fact, nearly all of the visual changes made to the GT-R's outside were intended to improve aerodynamic performance; to a greater extent than specifically, enhanced aerodynamic efficiency inwards 3 key areas: downforce generation, drag reduction too improved cooling of vital vehicle systems. The goal was to maximize cooling airflow, spell at the same fourth dimension keeping aerodynamic drag inwards cheque (i.e. non increment drag inwards ane surface area of the vehicle equally a resultant of improving cooling performance/airflow inwards another).
In improver to the novel grille too hood, the curving profile of the forepart nether spoiler has been slightly extended too lowered past times a few millimeters to improve airflow at the its lower edge. (The footing clearance of the previous model has been maintained.) Also, past times reshaping the sill lip along the lower portions of the sides of the car, the amount of air beingness drawn underneath has been reduced, countering vehicle elevator too improving stability. The C-pillars receive got also been redesigned, amongst the upper percentage instantly shaped to deliver improve airflow administration past times preventing the generation of a smaller vortex.
The nurture of the novel GT-R continues to hold upwards defined past times its iconic circular taillights, but aspect closely too you'll reveal a silver-finish diffuser too novel side air vents that receive got been incorporated adjacent to the quad titanium exhaust tips to improve the car's aerodynamics. Also, the belt trouble that separates the lower dark department from the body panel has been heightened to brand the motorcar aspect wider too to a greater extent than aggressive. The nurture bumper department instantly incorporates the same pattern featured on the GT-R NISMO for improve routing of air at the lower percentage of the nurture of the vehicle. This has also led to less interference betwixt the exhaust gases exiting the tailpipes too airflow along the nurture side portions of the bumper for improved estrus evacuation.
Stylish novel Y-spoke forged alloy wheels past times RAYS receive got been redesigned for the 2017 GT-R
INTERIOR
Featuring superbly crafted materials, the Nissan GT-R's novel interior delivers an unparalleled grade of comfort, luxury too everyday usability dissimilar whatsoever iteration earlier it. It's obvious at kickoff glance that the novel cabin is to a greater extent than luxurious too upscale. Seamlessly wrapped inwards ane continuous canvass of the highest character optional Nappa leather, the novel dashboard adopts a "horizontal flow" that delivers a feel of high stability for the car's front-seat occupants, spell the trouble from the musical instrument cluster to the centre console provides a distinct driver-oriented surroundings for those behind the steering wheel. In keeping amongst the all-out performance benchmarks for the GT-R, the layer of cushioned cloth constitute beneath the leather is a novel thinner cloth to aid maintain overall weight down, spell even too therefore providing the highest character of texture. Also, the leather is artfully stitched together throughout the cabin past times a master copy craftsman.
The centre dashboard layout has been improved too simplified, amongst the set out of integrated navigation too good controls reduced from 27 switches inwards the previous model to solely xi inwards the 2017 version. The navigation organisation controls too display receive got been placed slightly lower on the musical instrument panel for easier work too improve frontward visibility for both the driver too forepart passenger. Also, the redesigned navigation organisation layout has been improved, amongst the dials instantly machined from existent aluminum alloy for improve experience too operation. An enlarged 8-inch touching panel monitor features large icons on the display hide that allow the user to easily care the good system, navigation system, telephone controls too other infotainment. For the U.S., Canada too PRC market, a telematics services is also available. The icon layout tin hold upwards fully customized past times the user's preferences, too a novel Display command command on the carbon-fiber centre console allows slow functioning without having to touching the monitor; a characteristic that comes inwards handy when traveling at high speed.
Other convenient data features include the pop multi-function meter that allows the driver to customize the layout of of import vehicle-specific performance parameters/information (including coolant temperature, engine stone oil temperature, engine stone oil pressure, transmission stone oil temperature, transmission stone oil pressure, turbocharger boost pressure, etc.).
Also, the paddle shifters receive got instantly been mounted straight to the newly designed steering bike (as opposed to the steering column), which allows the driver to direct gears of the 6-speed dual clutch transmission without having to receive got his hands off the bike during mid-turn.
Reengineered to supply a to a greater extent than premium ride experience through improved comfort too support, the driver too forepart rider seatbacks for the Premium too Pure models instantly characteristic reconfigured urethane foam inside their bolsters for improve trunk support. This results inwards less slippage during spirited driving too reduced fatigue on long commutes. And, past times reconfiguring the back upwards wires inside the seatback frame, the applied scientific discipline squad was able to bring down the weight of each seatback spell simultaneously reducing pressure level points upon the trunk of both the driver too forepart rider for a to a greater extent than relaxed seating position.

FEATURES
► TWIN-TURBO V6 ENGINE
The 2017 Nissan GT-R coupe’s hand-built twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 puts out 565 horsepower (600 inwards the Nismo), a figure that puts most V8 cars to shame. So proud are the workers who build this engine, each unit of measurement is personally signed past times its assembler.
► VALUE
In the footing of supercars, value is a relative term, but when yous reckon the performance too engineering offered past times the 2017 Nissan GT-R, the top-end cost of $150,000 is a create attain compared to the $180,000 Porsche 911 Turbo S, $245,000 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 too $265,00 Ferrari 458.
PERFORMANCE
The GT-R is ane of today's to a greater extent than insane performance bargains, but how does it larn there? By letting a dyad of turbochargers rampage all over a 3.8-liter V-6 too sending that powerfulness through a fast-acting dual-clutch transmission to all iv wheels via ane of the most advanced all-wheel-drive systems on the market.
For 2017, Nissan has eked some other xx horsepower out of the engine, bringing the total to 565. It also adds 4 pound-feet of torque for a total of 467. Revised ignition timing command too additional turbo boost create the extra power, too Nissan says the motorcar instantly accelerates improve inwards a higher house 3,200 rpm.
The superlative performance of the GT-R, a non bad transmission, compliant ride, too handling. It's ane of few cars that aces our performance rating. (Read to a greater extent than nigh how nosotros charge per unit of measurement cars.)
Even earlier the improver of those xx horses, the GT-R was astonishingly fast. With a 0-60 mph of 2.7 seconds, yous could larn bleary-eyed earlier yous attain its ragged edges. It's non surprising that we, too others, receive got constitute the driving experience to hold upwards a lilliputian video game-like at times.
Constant improvement has made the GT-R a vivid route motorcar too an fifty-fifty improve rail machine. Early GT-Rs generated a lot of driveline clatter, but the motorcar is instantly to a greater extent than refined. The shift experience is improved, too the steering is lighter at depression speeds too no longer twitchy on center. Front interruption changes receive got reduced the set out of small-scale corrections needed at highway speeds. The solely downside? It's instantly easier to vault this motorcar frontward fifty-fifty to a greater extent than nauseatingly quickly.
The all-wheel-drive organisation is rear-biased, too it tin vary the torque separate from 100 per centum to the nurture to 50/50 depending on speed, lateral acceleration, steering angle, tire slip, route surface, too yaw rate. The transmission too related bits hold upwards inwards the nurture halt to give the motorcar improve weight balance. The GT-R also has adjustable suspension, transmission, too stability-control settings to salve its theatre ride too neural responses when you're only tooling closed to for admiration. That ride has larn to a greater extent than forgiving this year, specially inwards the Comfort mode, making it easier to work the GT-R equally a commuter.
In R mode, all those reflexes are sharpened. It's a life-changing experience to air current the GT-R into long sweepers at triple-digit speeds too experience almost complacent equally it only hangs on, drama-free, ready for yous to throw on its Brembo six-piston front, four-piston nurture brakes.
DRIVETRAIN
As amongst previous models, the 3.8-liter, 24-valve, twin-turbo V-6 is the pump of the car. It’s even too therefore handcrafted past times a specific technician, but output has been increased past times xx horsepower too iv pound-feet to a total output of 565 horsepower too 467 pound-feet of torque. To obtain the increment inwards power, boost from the turbochargers has been increased, too the ignition timing for each cylinder is instantly individually controlled, creating to a greater extent than precise overall ignition timing. Power is routed to the wheels through a refined six-speed, dual-clutch transmission that is said to shift smoother too create less dissonance than final year’s model.
In improver to the engine too transmission updates, the exhaust organisation has been replaced past times a new, lightweight titanium organisation that features Active Sound Enhancement. This way the good produced past times the exhaust is fifty-fifty improve than before, too equally yous tin imagine, it sounds best during difficult acceleration. The increment inwards boost pressure level combined amongst the novel exhaust organisation too the cylinder-specific ignition timing helps the GT-R accelerate fifty-fifty harder than earlier from 3,200 rpm too above.
With the to a greater extent than stiff body structure, the GT-R also boasts a novel interruption system, equally good equally novel 20-inch, 15-spoke forged aluminum wheels. The novel wheels, suspension, too stiff body construction way the GT-R tin instantly agree the route surface a lilliputian improve than before, too it has improve stability when performing extreme maneuvers or negotiating your favorite corners at high speed. Nissan didn’t elaborate on performance numbers, but amongst the 2016 model hitting the 0-to-60 mph sprint inwards 3 seconds, aspect the 2017 GT-R to hitting the benchmark inwards 2.9 seconds. Top speed volition probable stay the same at 196 mph.
ENGINE
There are 2 versions of the same engine available for the 2017 Nissan GT-R. First upwards is the criterion 565-horsepower 3.8-liter V6. This compact powerhouse uses twin turbocharges too high-tech construction techniques to crush equally much powerfulness equally possible from its family-car displacement. If somehow that's even too therefore non enough, the GT-R Nismo packs 600 horsepower. Both engines connect to a 6-speed dual-clutch sequential automatic transmission capable of snapping off shifts inwards milliseconds; it's way faster than yous e'er could care amongst a manual, too the paddle shifters on the steering bike are the paradigm of engaging driving.
► 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6
565 horsepower @ 6,800 rpm
467 lb-ft of torque @ 3,300-5,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/22 mpg
► 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6
600 horsepower @ 6,800 rpm
481 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600-5,600 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/22 mpg
► Note: Due to changes inwards EPA testing to to a greater extent than effectively reverberate real-world conditions, some 2017 models demonstrate slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.
SAFETY
Along amongst the increased structural rigidity of the platform that aids amongst occupant protection, criterion security items included on every novel 2017 Nissan GT-R consist of the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) that features dual-stage supplemental forepart air bags amongst topographic point belt sensors too occupant classification sensors that tin vary the charge per unit of measurement of air handbag inflation based upon seatbelt usage too crash severity; a dyad of side-impact supplemental air bags that are integrated into the forepart seats too therefore that they displace amongst the driver/front rider equally the seating topographic point is adjusted; roof-mounted drapery side-impact supplemental air bags; energy-absorbing steering column; too LATCH System (Lower Anchors too Tethers for CHildren) to properly secure LATCH-compatible nestling restraints without having to work the seatbelts.
Other criterion security technologies include Advanced Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) stability command organisation amongst 3 driver-selectable modes (Normal, R-Mode, Off), Electronic Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) too Electronic Brake strength Distribution (EBD), RearView Monitor, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) too automatic on/off headlights.
FUEL ECONOMY
Despite the additional xx horsepower, 2017's version of the Nissan GT-R manages roughly the same numbers equally 2016's version.
According to the EPA, the 2017 Nissan GT-R is rated at xvi mpg city, 22 highway, eighteen combined. Those figures aren't quite equally proficient equally a criterion Chevrolet Corvette or Porsche 911, both of which attain the upper 20s on the highway. But, if yous tin refrain from earthworks also deep into the throttle, the GT-R's turbo V-6 tin hold upwards to a greater extent than efficient than most V-8 too all V-12 engines that brand comparable power.
In a 250-mile exam amongst a 2015 GT-R Premium model, nosotros saw nearly 17 mpg inwards a combination of spirited driving on backroads plus uneven, congested superhighway travel. That's for certain non fuel efficient, but the Nissan GT-R isn't equally thirsty equally the typical supercar.
