Nissan has been able to put together some impressive vehicles over the years, but none of them can hold up to the speed of the GT-R Nismo. Hitting impressive top speeds of 195 miles per hour, the GT-R is propelled by a 3.8 liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine capable of making 600 horsepower. It can also make the 0-60 dash in 2.0 seconds, putting it up against some of the fastest cars in the world. It still comes with a price in the six figures — that still isn’t quite that bad when held up to some of the cars it can compete with (certain Italians come to mind).

Nissan’s GT-R may be fugly to some, but as an instrument of pure speed, it’s a thing of beauty. A 545-hp, twin-turbo V-6 and astounding, all-wheel-drive grip give the GT-R supercar performance. Its six-figure price is still cheap compared with anything else so quick. Numerous enhancements over the years have made it faster and more refined, with 0-to-60 times dropping below three seconds.

2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO
Not any quicker than a normal GT-R, but quite a bit more NISMO.

From the August 2014 Issue of Car and DriverThe 2015 model year marks the seventh for the GT-R, and nearly every turn of the calendar has come with incremental updates from Nissan, stretching the envelope of a car we initially called “big, heavy, and incredible.”
The portfolio grows this year to include a NISMO—Nissan Motorsports—model, and all three of our initial adjectives still ring true. NISMOizing the GT-R makes it a little bigger, stretching the car’s length by 0.5 inch with new bodywork. This includes an integrated splitter and a raised rear wing that, according to Nissan, increase downforce at 186 mph by 220 pounds without affecting the car’s 0.26 drag coefficient.

This includes an integrated splitter and a raised rear wing that, according to Nissan, increase downforce at 186 mph by 220 pounds without affecting the car’s 0.26 drag coefficient.
At 3883 pounds, the NISMO is still a heavy beast and only a scant two pounds lighter than a 2014 GT-R Track Edition. With engine modifications—including larger turbos lifted from Nissan’s FIA GT3 racers, remapped timing, and revised breathing—the 3.8-liter V-6 produces an additional 55 horsepower and 18 pound-feet of torque, for 600 and 481, respectively. Reportedly, Nissan could have cranked it up even further, but resisted the urge for the sake of transmission longevity, which is a touchy subject after early R35 models Cuisinarted their transaxles.
A quarter-mile run doesn’t reveal much difference from the ’14 Track model, with the NISMO breaking the tape in 11.2 seconds at 125 mph. That’s the same time and just one mph swifter than the ’14. In fact, the two track sheets look eerily similar. Both cars register 1.02 g’s on the skidpad, stop from 70 mph in 145 feet, and sprint to a mile-per-minute in 2.9 seconds. Maybe the tires and drivetrain are just about maxed out in the launch department. The NISMO’s extra power is apparent mainly in its run to 130 mph, which is 0.3 second quicker than the Track model’s time.
Nissan keeps milking its speed cow: The aging GT-R offers up new delights in NISMO guise but the same old arcade-console cabin.
Adjustable Bilstein dampers, revised springs, and a hollow anti-roll bar at the rear crank up the GT-R’s stiffness. This is no commuter; when it comes to ride quality, think Porsche 911 GT3 RS or a chunk of granite. There are three settings for the dampers, but even in the laziest mode the chassis feels stiffer than a regular GT-R’s.
If there were a prize for most alphanumeric suffixes, the NISMO’s Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTT tires would clinch it. Developed specifically for the NISMO GT-R, Nissan claims the tires are stickier than last year’s rubber. After driving the car on a track and into a paradox with our dusty skidpad readings, we believe that claim.
Understeer is the NISMO’s yeti: Hunt for it all you want, you’ll never find it. The NISMO cuts into a corner with the force of a car intended only for closed courses and pro drivers. Find the apex, mash the gas, and keep it pointed on the road. It’ll do it time and time again, without protest.
The NISMO costs a whopping $48,220 more than a base GT-R, for performance that isn’t apparent on paper. If you’re able to fully appreciate its capabilities on the track, however, you’ll exit saying “incredible, incredible,” which is twice as many times as we said it years ago. And if it isn’t blade-sharp enough for you, a NISMO track model is coming soon. Rumor has it a hybrid powertrain may also slot into the GT-R. Then, Dunlop may finally have a rival for the insufferably long suffix award.

I really do like the gtr. I think they've done a great job making a car that performs at a supercar level for a below supercar price. Also, I give them credit for being able to compete with a very different engine from their competition (and of course I love that it's a boosted v6 to boot). We have a good number of alpha gtrs out here, and those things really tear up the 1/2 mile racing even against boosted exotics that likely have triple the money wrapped up in them.
With that said, I have driven one and I honestly wasn't blown away. I drove it for a few laps of a fairly tight road course out at vegas (it was a black edition). The other cars I drove that day were a mercedes sls with a monster NA v8 and a super light cayman R. I think there a few reasons why it didn't impress me:
-the event layout didn't give you time to play with all of the features and screens. You get in, adjust the seat/mirrors, run through the high points, then drive 5 laps. I didn't have time to explore all of the screens and options.
-the course was very tight and the car felt much heavier and had much more body roll than the other cars I drove. I'm sure they handle great, but my memory of them is tainted from being spoiled by the others.
-the tightness of the track in many spots meant you were on and off the throttle a lot. You had to keep the rpm way up because it felt weak if you let it get too low (again, compared to the other cars I drove). That's to be expected with a relatively low compression, low displacement engine.
-on the tight track, the turbo spool time got a bit irritating, again tied a bit to keeping the rpm up.
-if they would've given you a chance to do a launch from a dead stop or to actually run the car at full throttle beyond the one straight that only ran from about 40 to 110 mph - I bet my experience would've been a lot more positive.
I don't dislike the car because of it, I would love to DD one for sure. It just wasn't an event that played to the gtr's strengths.
I do however disagree with Nissan's approach on a few things:
-Weight. If I'm not mistaken the r32 was about 3150, the r33 was about 3300, and the r34 was about 3450. The gtr is about 3850 from what I hear, and it is visually a big car. I would like to see them push to get the weight and size of the car back down a bit.
-Dealership price gouging. I'm not sure if it's like this anymore, but I had a chance to look around the first gtr in our area. Sticker was about $70k, but the dealer was asking $100k. Nothing turns me off on a car more than that. I know it happens with many specialty vehicles, but think the manufacturer should do anything they can to keep it from happening (even if that includes making more cars to satisfy the excessive demand).
-Price. On that thread, the price of the gtr seems to be out of control. They came out around $70k, and now sticker for $100k for a base model up to $150k for the model above. That seems like an awful lot of change in a very little time compared to other cars. Granted the dealers probably aren't marking then up as much anymore so the actual price paid may not be as different.
-Lack of model choices. Personally, id like to see a range of models offered like with the skyline series. Id like to see a stripped down version, like a more stripped down version without all of the electronic gizmos and maybe with rwd. I think that would move a lot of cars, and they could still keep it positioned just above the top level 370z to keep the halo car status. I'm thinking a spread of cars like the base corvette c6 / z06 / zr1 spread. That should also drive down costs of their current top of the line model since I'm sure many of the parts would be shared (fenders, carpet, etc) so they would get discounts for higher volumes.

It's all just $'s & cents...I don't have either (LOL)
Hi Bump'in `Chad,
I enjoy reading your post/thoughts on the GTR. Yes, the price game by dealers is everywhere..(Supply & Demand)...I think it's a great car for the dollars, but I'd rather have a new Camaro S.S. with the track pkg for less then 1/2 the price.
Yes, the GTR are Large & you sit high in them & not like a regular exotic. I'm looking forward to test driving the New S.S. (I know a salesmen @ the local dealer that told me to come in & test. For now, I want the 3.6L Camaro with stick & track pkg..(It's in my price range & much lower insurance cost. The reviews I've read are very positive on it.... The 3.6L was chosen as one of the top then engines this year by Ward....(Review in is my Take the Engine Test MCF Thread)...Oh, I hope you take the test...No ones got 100% yet...Maybe it's you
Great to see you online...I know that Space always enjoyed reading your posts about you & your Monte build....(So do I)...
Keep us updated on your rides...Wish you a Super Eve > Life & Super Rides >EnJoy<
