Nissan’s US arm has announced pricing and details of
its 2018 GT-R range, including a new entry-level variant dubbed the GT-R Pure.
Kicking off at US$ 99,990, the GT-R Pure
is a pared-back variant in a similar vein to the recently-detailed Volkswagen
Golf GTI Original and R Grid models, doing without select luxury and
convenience items while keeping the same performance levels.
Compared to the Premium variant, which kicks off at
US$ 110,490, the Pure misses out on the 11-speaker Bose audio system,
active noise cancellation, active sound enhancement system and the titanium
exhaust.
Additionally, the entire range now gets Apple
CarPlay in the US as part of the 2018 upgrade, along with a slight power bump –
bringing the core range to 565 hp, while the the GT-R Nismo continues
with 600 hp. Other changes include a new ‘Kuro Night’ colour for the Premium
Interior Package.
