2024-nissan-gt-r

The 2024 Nissan GT-R is being sold in limited quantities this spring at certain U.S. Nissan dealerships, starting at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $120,990. The GT-R NISMO will be available for purchase this summer.

Enthusiasts of the iconic Nissan nameplate will be thrilled by the updated bodywork that improves downforce, the reintroduction of the T-spec® model, and the launch of heritage-inspired colors.

All grades of the 2024 Nissan GT-R have newly designed front and rear fascias, rear wings, and other body components that increase aerodynamic downforce, decrease drag, and provide confident, responsive handling. The GT-R NISMO features a new rear wing with a surface area that is almost 10% larger than before, supported by swan neck-style supports.

The GT-R maintains its unwavering commitment to driving excitement. To celebrate the updated exterior design of the GT-R, the T-spec special edition model returns and is being introduced for the first time with the GT-R’s updated exterior styling. The T-spec model provides a middle ground between the GT-R Premium (565 horsepower) and NISMO (600 horsepower2). The NISMO and T-spec models will be highly exclusive and produced in limited quantities.

The GT-R T-spec improves upon the already impressive base of the GT-R Premium with wider front fenders, NISMO carbon ceramic brakes, gold-painted RAYS® forged wheels, a dark Mori Green interior color, unique semi-aniline and suede interior upholstery, and other enhancements.

The T-spec model comes in two exclusive exterior colors that are sure to excite GT-R fans. The first is Millennium Jade, which pays tribute to one of the rarest GT-Rs ever made – the R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nür. The second T-spec-exclusive color is Midnight Purple, which is a contemporary interpretation of the Midnight Purple III color that became famous on the R34 GT-R V-Spec.

Furthermore, the GT-R NISMO now comes with a NISMO Appearance Package that includes exclusive RAYS® wheels with red accents, a unique clear coat applied to the carbon fiber hood, and an exclusive engine cover. For the first time, the GT-R NISMO also features a front limited-slip differential to enhance the driving experience.

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices for the 2024 Nissan GT-R:

GT-R Premium	$120,990

GT-R, the pinnacle of Nissan high-performance engineering, thrillingly combines a high horsepower engine with impressive handling and useful technology for everyday driving. For the 2024 model year, GT-R is even more exciting with in-depth enhancements to its aerodynamic performance, the return of a special trim and revised available packages.

The 2024 Nissan GT-R is offered in three grades, starting with GT-R Premium and T-spec® with 565 horsepower, providing a tantalizing option for those seeking a super sports car. The 600-horsepower GT-R NISMO offers an even more exceptional level of performance, with engineering drawn directly from motorsports applications.

The 2024 Nissan GT-R arrives at select Canada Nissan dealers this spring (NISMO arrives in summer).

A relentless approach to performance

All 2024 Nissan GT-R grades are extensively revised to increase downforce and reduce drag, helping provide confident, responsive handling, representing Nissan’s continued iterative enhancements to GT-R. The enhancements include redesigned front and rear fascias, optimized bumper sides, revised grille shapes and reshaped rear wings, further increasing the car’s impressive aerodynamic performance.

Demonstrating the team’s attention to every detail, engineers even closely scrutinized the mesh used in the front grille and employed a thinner mesh to further enhance cooling and reduce drag. Impressively, GT-R’s drag coefficient is unchanged at 0.26 Cd despite the increase in downforce.

On GT-R NISMO, a new rear wing design sits atop dramatic, swan neck-style supports. With an almost 10% larger surface area, the wing’s curvature has been specifically designed to optimize drag and downforce. The team also revised GT-R NISMO’s front lip, rear diffuser and canards.

Special editions and heritage colours

The GT-R T-spec returns for the 2024 model year and builds upon the already capable Premium with many visual and mechanical enhancements, including GT-R NISMO carbon-ceramic brakes, a gold-painted version of the NISMO’s RAYS® 20-inch forged wheels, NISMO-tuned Vehicle Dynamic Control and wider front fenders. Visually, T-spec wears special badging inside and out, a dark Mori Green upholstery colour and a combination of semi-aniline and suede upholstery for the front seats.

Most exciting of all, the T-spec is available in two exclusive colours that appeal to GT-R enthusiasts by resurrecting two of the nameplate’s most iconic paint colours. The first is Millennium Jade, which pays homage to one of the rarest GT-Rs ever, the R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nür. The second T-spec-exclusive paint is Midnight Purple, a modern interpretation of the Midnight Purple III colour made famous on the R34 GT-R V-Spec.

Newly available on GT-R NISMO is a NISMO Appearance Package, which includes an exclusive, red-accented version of the car’s RAYS forged 20-inch wheels, a unique clear coat applied to the carbon fiber hood and an exclusive engine cover design. GT-R NISMO also offers a new NISMO-exclusive paint colour: Stealth Gray.

Engineered for performance

The 2024 Nissan GT-R uses a 3.8-liter V6, 24-valve, twin-turbocharged engine that is hand-assembled by takumi technicians. The engine, which was refined for the 2020 model year, is rated at 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque, and features a standard titanium exhaust system.

GT-R channels its power through a standard ATTESA ET-S all-wheel-drive system that can vary its front-to-rear torque split, depending on driving scenario, for peak driving feel and performance. The standard 6-speed dual-clutch transaxle is rear-mounted to optimize vehicle weight distribution, and offers aggressive downshifts as well as steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for manual control.

GT-R’s dynamic ride and handling is brought to life thanks to the expertly tuned independent double wishbone front and independent multi-link rear suspensions. Standard Bilstein® DampTronic shock absorbers offer three driver-selectable settings for GT-R’s suspension: Normal, Comfort and R. These three modes allow the driver to combine varying levels of driving comfort with the sport-like responsive handling that GT-R is known for. The engine, transmission and suspension’s settings are controlled by large, tactile switches located on the car’s center console.

In GT-R Premium, braking is provided by a Nissan and Brembo® jointly developed braking system with six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers. Lightweight RAYS® 20-inch wheels shod with Dunlop high-performance summer tires connect GT-R with the road.

GT-R T-spec uses Brembo® brakes with enlarged, carbon-ceramic rotors from the GT-R NISMO, along with a gold-painted version of NISMO’s RAYS wheels wearing Dunlop® SP Sport Maxx GT600 ultra-high-performance run-flat tires with a NISMO-specific compound.

Refined interior appointments

The inside of GT-R welcomes occupants with a “horizontal-flow” dashboard design swathed in Nappa leather appointments, and seats designed to be lightweight.

GT-R T-spec elevates the car’s interior design with an exclusive dark Mori Green upholstery throughout, with a combination semi-aniline and suede treatment for the front seats. Unique logos on the console and kick plates further identify the T-spec. GT-R T-spec adds several unique visual touches to the car’s exterior, including T-spec emblems on the trunk.

The standard NissanConnect® infotainment system with 8-inch multi-touch display features Apple CarPlay®, Nissan navigation system, Bluetooth®, HD Radio, SiriusXM® Radio, SiriusXM® Traffic, and SiriusXM® Travel Link™ (weather, fuel prices, movie listings, stock info and sports).

The display also has GT-R-specific, customizable data pages showing key vehicle data, including details like coolant and oil temperature, transmission gear selection, g-forces, turbocharger boost and even a stopwatch for lap timing.

GT-R further accommodates drivers with premium convenience features including a Bose® 11-speaker audio system, Active Noise Cancellation, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and front and rear parking sensors.

NISMO: Elevated, motorsports-derived performance

For drivers seeking an even greater level of capability, the GT-R NISMO – its name derived from NISsan MOtorsports International Co. – is a more extreme version of the GT-R.

In addition to aerodynamic revisions, the 2024 GT-R NISMO benefits from a front limited-slip differential for the first time. The differential helps improve the driving experience, ensuring GT-R faithfully follows the driver’s inputs and exemplifies the NISMO team’s approach to iterative enhancements that continually build upon GT-R’s capabilities.

The GT-R NISMO was extensively enhanced for the 2020 model year with new turbochargers taken from the GT3 racecar, enhanced transmission shift control, lighter components, enhanced body bonding to increase torsional rigidity, reduced overall mass, and upgrades to the brakes, wheels and tires. Compared to GT-R Premium, it also has an increased use of lightweight carbon fiber components and increased horsepower.

The GT-R NISMO is rated for 600 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque, with significantly enhanced engine responsiveness.

Complementing NISMO’s improved power and grip are Brembo® brakes with enlarged, carbon-ceramic rotors measuring 16.1 inches in the front and 15.3 inches at the rear. The rotors themselves save 36 pounds of weight, while the high-strength calipers and high-friction brake pads contribute to a firmer brake pedal feeling.

NISMO-exclusive bodywork helps provide increased component cooling while also improving aerodynamic downforce. The roof is made from carbon fiber to reduce weight and lower the car’s center of gravity, paying dividends in terms of handling. Additional NISMO-exclusive carbon fiber body panels include front and rear fascias, trunk lid, race-inspired rear wing, side sill covers, hood and outside mirror housings.

Inside, GT-R NISMO includes interior enhancements include Recaro® seats with synthetic suede inserts, red stitching and an Alcantara-appointed steering wheel with a red top stripe.

Meet Nissan’s unsung hero! Paul Eanes and his experience with Nissan!

Paul Eames is a legend. And there are legends about him. There is a guy who claims that he saw how Eames has once eaten a whole Versa Note for breakfast. Other fellows tell the tale of how he uses his GT-R chassis for bed. Truth or not, one is known for sure: Paul Eames is Nissan’s very own tame racing driver and as many car fans will tell you, his identity has been kept secret for a long time.

Paul has played key role in the driving team. He makes sure that every new Nissan vehicle can handle the road and can tackle down all the challenges it is created for. Also, as one of only four expert drivers outside Japan, Paul completes numerous laps of the brand’s various test tracks all around the globe.

And with his 20 years of experience at Nissan, Paul knows exactly whether a vehicle is optimized, fine tuned or not. What is special about this guy is that he can be both experienced engineer and driver and a customer at the same time. This allows him to know what people do want and what he can do to deliver it.

In fact, Paul’s job is not to break his own records and lap times. Yes, he is good at doing it, but what is expected of him is to replicate how Nissan customers will actually drive their vehicles in the real world. And by travelling all around the world and trying out numerous new machines, Paul serves one mission: to deliver the finest vehicles to brand’s customers.

Guinness Says Nissan GT-R NISMO is the Fastest Drift Car

Nissan GT-R NISMO Side View Two days ago Nissan announced that the GT-R NISMO is about to make a brand new world record. Now, the Japanese company is absolutely ready to release the full details about the achievement. It has been officially revealed that the GT-R NISMO will be registered in the Guinness Book of Records with its fastest ever recorded drif! What’s only unfortunate is that we don’t have a video to show how the record was achieved.

The first thing we have to say about it is that the drift wasn’t done with a regular GT-R NISMO but with a specially-tuned GT-R from the 2016 model year, which was developed with the support and coordination of NISMO specialists. The company said that the car used for the stunt was uprated to 1,380 horsepower (1,105 kW). In addition, its entire power was adapted so it goes to the rear wheels. Before the special record event, the car was tested at Japan’s Fuji Speedway facility. Helping Nissan and NISMO was GReddy Trust.

Nissan GT-R NISMO front View

The second important detail here is that the car was driven by Masato Kawabata, who is the Japanese drift champion and title holder for the Japanese drifting series. Kawabata managed to drift at a speed of 189.49 miles per hour or 304.96 kilometers per hour and 30 degrees angle. Everything was performed during a special event at Fujairah International Airport, UAE.

There were also comments from the managing director of Nissan Middle East, Samir Cherfan, who said that thanks to this Guinness World Records title Nissan made international history for the fifth time in the Middle East. He then added that the “Nissan GT-R is one of the world’s most iconic supercars, proving time and again the incredible breadth of its capabilities, and has clearly demonstrated its performance leadership by beating the best drift cars out there”.

We only hope to get our hands on the footage soon. Stay tuned!
