Welcome
Nissan GT-R
Anyone with enough money to spend on a high performance sports car might be thinking in terms of something like a Porsche or a Ferrari, but there is an alternative, the Nissan GT-R. Priced from £56,795 to £59,395 on the road, this is a seriously powerful car.
The Nissan GT-R range features just one engine, a 3.8litre V6 petrol. There are four trim versions, ranging from the entry level Premium Edition; although at these prices, the term ‘entry level’ takes on a whole new meaning, to the top of the range MY11. It takes just 3.5 seconds to get from a standstill to 60 mph, with a top speed of 194mph. Combined petrol consumption is a wallet bashing 22.8mpg, but in fairness, if you can afford a car of this calibre you are not going to worry too much about the price of fuel.
A two-door 2+2, the Nissan GT-R has rear seats that can accommodate two children, but it is unlikely to be purchased by many drivers looking for a family car, even though storage capacity in the boot is quite good. As would be expected with a car of this price, the interior and extras are excellent. Air conditioning, climate control, heated electric seats, a BOSE stereo with CD, MP3 and iPod connection, hard drive, alloy wheels, leather seats, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, front, side and curtain airbags; it would probably be easier to list what this car does not have. There are very few drawbacks to the Nissan GT-R; the only real issue is likely to be whether you would want to spend that amount of money on one or go for a more accepted status symbol, such as a Porsche.
