Nissan, a Japanese automaker, is the manufacturer of GT-R vehicles, hence the term Nissan GT-R.
They were introduced to the market in 2007, and due to their outstanding performance, they immediately replaced the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
Features of the Nissan GT-R
As sport utility vehicles, Nissan has created several GT-R model versions named according to their modification and release year.
They include NISSAN GT-R 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 versions.
However, all these Nissan models share several identical features that constitute the reputable GT-R version.
Some of these common features are:
- All GT-R models’ exteriors have a modern front bumper with side air scoops and the DRL inside each scoop.
- To compliment the overall look of these high-performance sports cars, they have a classic designed interior look. For instance, the dashboard’s instrument panel is covered in a unique, seamless sheet of customized Nappa leather.
- Each model is also fitted with a new 8″ inch touch-screen infotainment system in the center console that connects to Apple CarPlay.
- All Nissan GT-R models have V6 cylinders, a 6-speed automatic gear system, can reach a maximum speed of 320km/hr, and have an acceleration rate of 0 to 100km/hr at 3.4 seconds. They also have a turbocharged multi-point injection fuel system.
- The GT-R models are much safer now because the tires contain nitrogen and can resist a puncture even when traveling at 200 kph!
