Nissan has announced the U.S. pricing and
specifications for the 2021 GT-R Premium and GT-R Nismo, which are already on
sale at select dealers across the country. With an MSRP of US$ 113,540, excluding
the US$ 1,695 destination and handling charge, the GT-R Premium’s 3.8-liter
twin-turbo V6 produces 565 HP and 633 Nm of torque and is mated to
a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Previously reserved for the GT-R
Anniversary Edition, the Bayside Blue exterior paint finish is now available
for the Premium, which also gets a titanium exhaust system, leather upholstery
inside, front seats with good side support and comfort, navigation system, SiriusXM,
Apple CarPlay and NissanConnect as standard.
The 2021 GT-R Nismo’s pricing remains
unchanged from the previous model year. The Godzilla rolls in from US$ 210,740,
with a 600 HP and 652 Nm 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, which features an
exclusive turbocharger design sourced from the GT3 racer, with modified shape
and fewer blades compared to the pre-2020MY.
The refined suspension provides a smoother
ride, according to Nissan, and increased cornering stability, while the braking
system, with 16.1-inch front and 15.3-inch rear carbon ceramic rotors and
Brembo calipers, improve the stopping performance over the iterations sold
before the 2020 model year.
Inside, the sportiest version of the GT-R
is equipped with supportive seats from Recaro, which have been wrapped in
leather, with red synthetic suede appointments. Also unique for the 2021 GT-R
Nismo are the Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, leather-wrapped gear shift knob
with red accents and the model-specific red tachometer.
