Refined enough for the daily commute. Yet capable in the worst weather and road conditions¹. Nissan GT-R. The first supercar meant to be driven by Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere².

[1]Always use appropriate tires for weather conditions. See owner's manual for details. Failure to use appropriate tires could cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death.

[2] Driving is serious business and requires your full attention. At all times, obey traffic laws. Not intended for unpaved off-road use. Always wear your seat-belt, and please don't drink and drive.

Hand Crafted

One man, one engine. Each Nissan GT-R engine is hand-crafted by a single technician - one of only 8 allowed the honour - in a dust and temperature-controlled "clean room" much like those used for Formula One racing engines.

Intake System

An engine is an air pump. The better it breathes, the better it works. For maximum performance, the Nissan GT-R features a fully independent intake system for each bank of cylinders. With a special secondary air system that helps heat the catalysts more quickly, the Nissan GT-R is not only powerful, it runs so clean that it's been certified as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV).

Twin Turbo V6

Location, location, location. By using a powerful twin-turbo V6 rather than a larger and heavier V8 or V12, the Nissan GT-R exploits its all-new PM (Premium Midship) platform for ultimate balance.

Biased Performance

Instead of the traditional 50/50 torque split between front and rear axles, the Nissan GT-R's All-Wheel Drive system is designed to provide up to 100% of available torque to the rear wheels, and can send up to 50% of torque to the front wheels as needed.

Huge in every way

Look beyond the sheer size of the Nissan GT-R's 15" front and rear brake rotors and you'll see that Nissan and racing legend Brembo® have brought some of the biggest ideas from the track to this extraordinary road car.

Winds of change. For supercars, air is the enemy, to be avoided as much as possible. Building on Nissan's extensive racing experience, the GT-R spent 2 years at the rolling road wind tunnel at Group Lotus in Europe and 1.5 years in Yoshitaka Suzuki in Japan fine-tuning the secrets of bringing racecar aerodynamics to the street. The results: an incredibly slippery 0.27 coefficient of drag with superior downforce at the wheels.

At the heart of the Nissan GT-R's amazing abilities is an easy-to-use system of three switches that allows adjustment of the suspension, VDC stability control¹ and transmission. Supercar performance with amazing flexibility - at the touch of a button.

Rotated speedometer and digital gear display make for a quick read. Gauge design was inspired by intermeshing gears and reflects the Nissan GT-R's single-minded purpose.

Multi-Function Display system with 11 screens includes 4 screens that can be custom-tailored with read-outs of a variety of vital vehicle information and performance parameters.

Amply bolstered front sport seats hold you in place, while cutouts in the driver's seat-cushion facilitate leg motion. For a comforting and united feel, an identical grain of leather is used on the steering wheel, shift lever and door pulls.

The 11-speaker Bose® audio system takes advantage of the rigid die-cast structural panel for outstanding sound reproduction and front-facing dual woofers for unmatched bass response.

The Nissan GT-R's performance credentials were earned at some of the most demanding tracks in the world :

Over 3100 miles of testing at Germany's legendary Nürburgring.

Sendai racetrack and Nissan's test track at Hokkaido, Japan.

Laguna Seca, Willow Springs and Infineon raceways in the U.S.

To make sure it can withstand the rigors of daily driving, the Nissan GT-R was driven through demanding conditions around the world :

High-speed testing on the Autobahn.

Snow testing in the mountains of Hokkaido - Japan's northernmost province.

Hot weather testing in Palm Springs and the Arizona desert.

Rough-road testing on the city streets of Detroit.

So that you can enjoy all the Nissan GT-R has to offer at delivery, each Nissan GT-R receives a thorough 9-lap break-in run at Tochigi test track, including :

Testing of engine performance.

Testing of the brakes and bedding in of the pads.

Testing of the transmission.

Testing and break-in of suspension components.

We go to the same extremes when building the GT-R as we do when testing it.

Each engine is hand-crafted by a single technician.

Assembly is in a dust and temperature-controlled "clean room" - the type typically used for assembling Formula One racing engines.

Once assembled, the engine spends an hour of bench-testing and break-in, including being run at redline for a brutal 10 minutes straight.

We had to create new technologies to ensure the Nissan GT-R is built to the most demanding standard of any production car :

Specially designed precision-machining tools were created to provide extremely tight tolerances

Unque vibration-testing machines were built to ensure that those tight tolerances will remain throughout the life of the vehicle.

The GT-R wouldn't be a Nissan if we didn't also make sure that whether it's today or far in the future, the definition of a performance car is one with a conscience :

Meets Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) standards.

Designed to be 95% recyclable.

Safety should never be a luxury.

Nissan Advanced Airbag System (AABS) with dual-stage supplemental front airbags, seat belt sensors and occupant-classification sensor^1.

Driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental airbags and roof-mounted curtain supplemental airbags¹.

LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children). 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake for Distribution.

¹Airbags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, rear-facing child restraints should not be placed in the front-passenger's seat. Also, in addition to any other requirement of applicable law, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Airbags will only inflate in certain accidents; see your owner's manual for more details. Inflated airbags shown for illustration purposes only. Actual airbags deflate after deployment.
