What Is the 2020 Nissan GT-R?
Nissan has earned a spot in the annals of all-time high-performance cars with its iconic GT-R. The current version is a 2+2 supercar that features all-wheel drive and a standard 565-horsepower, 3.8-liter V-6 engine with twin turbochargers. Track Edition and NISMO models are rated at 600 hp. The GT-R competes with the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette.
What’s New on the 2020 Nissan GT-R?
Nissan celebrates a half-century of the GT-R with the new 50th Anniversary Edition. Based on the Premium trim level, the 50th Anniversary Edition features heritage-inspired two-tone exteriors, a gray interior, a unique steering wheel and shifter, embossed seats and Alcantara trim. The Premium trim gets new 20-inch forged-aluminum wheels, while the Track Edition is now powered by the NISMO’s 600-hp engine and is fitted with a carbon-fiber roof. Other changes to the Track Edition and NISMO include new turbochargers, available carbon-ceramic brakes, revised suspension tuning and extra carbon-fiber parts.
What Features in the 2020 Nissan GT-R Are Most Important?
The muscular V-6 engine provides ample power, but the GT-R also has an impressive driver-adjustable adaptive suspension and responsive all-wheel-drive system that keep it well-behaved and tied down at high speeds. It features 20-inch wheels and massive brake rotors, plus all the luxury, convenience and connectivity features you’d expect from a car this price. There’s even a backseat big enough to carry adults in a pinch.
Should I Buy the 2020 Nissan GT-R?
Buying a GT-R puts you in an exclusive ownership club; Nissan sold only 538 in the U.S. in 2018. Porsche sold nearly 10,000 911s and Chevrolet nearly 19,000 Corvettes, making the Nissan’s rivals high-volume by comparison. The GT-R has the chops to run with its competitors, but it’s the same basic car that debuted in the U.S. for 2009, making it an old-timer compared with its closest rivals.
