The revised Nissan GT-R lineup is almost ready to
launch in the United States. The Japanese automaker will offer the lauded
performance model in four different trim levels, including the GT-R Premium,
50th Anniversary Edition, Track Edition and NISMO. Set to go on sale on July 25, the
base variant will have an MSRP of US$ 113,540, while the 50th Anniversary Edition,
which builds on the same grade adding extra gear, will have an US$ 8,500 premium.
Both versions of the car include revised
turbochargers with the base model obtaining new 20-inch wheels, titanium
exhaust, Active Noise Cancellation, Active Sound Enhancement and others. It can
also be specified with a new ‘Hai Gray’ premium interior with hand-stitched,
semi-aniline trim.
The GT-R 50th Anniversary Edition marks the return
of the Bayside Blue color, contrasted by white racing stripes. It’s also
available with Pearl White and red stripes or Super Silver with white stripes.
The interior gets a gray color scheme, unique steering wheel and shift knob
trim, Alcantara headliner and sun visors and embossed seats.
You’ll have to wait until August 25 for the 2020
GT-R Track Edition that is priced from US$ 145,540. It features 20-inch Nismo
wheels, a carbon fiber rear spoiler and available carbon ceramic brakes. The
cabin brings unique red and black elements and Recaro seats. But more
importantly, the Track Edition is powered by the same engine as the Nismo. The
3.8-liter V6 makes 600 hp and 652 Nm of torque, whereas the unit
found in the Premium and 50th Anniversary Edition is rated at 565 hp and 633 Nm of torque.
Finally, the top of the range, the 2020 GT-R
Nismo, will launch on July 12 with a starting price of US$ 210,740. The reduced
overall mass, upgraded brakes, wheels and tires and improved gearbox shift
control, are some of the features that set it apart, helping it achieve a
2.5-second reduction in lap time around Nissan’s development track. Each Nismo
is handcrafted by a ‘takumi’ technician.
