Nissan has announced the pricing details on the 2018
GT-R family in the United States, which now starts at US$ 99,990, without
destination and handling, something that adds another US$ 1,695 to each grade.
The sub-US$ 100k pricing refers to a new entry-level
model called Pure, which slots under the Premium, undercutting it by US$ 10,500,
and lacking some of its features such as the titanium exhaust, Bose sound
system, Active Noise Cancellation, and Active Sound Enhancement.
Other novelties for the 2018MY is the inclusion of
Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity to NissanConnect with Navigation and
Services, as well as the introduction of the black 'Kuro Night' color for the
Premium Interior Package.
Available from US$ 128,490, the Nissan GT-R Track
Edition is now in its second year. It borrows some elements from the
range-topping Nismo, while retaining the same version of the 3.8-liter V6
engine that powers both the Pure and Premium flavors, rated at 565 hp and 633 Nm of torque.
Described as "the ultimate GT-R", the
Nissan GT-R Nismo continues to be offered in limited numbers across North
America. Pricing starts at US$ 175,000, and users will get to enjoy, besides the
numerous motorsport-inspired technologies, a power bump of the 3.8L unit, which
makes 600 hp and 652 Nm in the range-topping Godzilla.
