The heart of a legend

Three things that make a GT-R a GT-R.

Aerodynamics shaped to add downforce without adding drag, an engine assembled by hand, and an all-wheel-drive system that behaves like rear-wheel drive until you need it not to.

Which GT-R is right for you?

Every GT-R shares the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive. What separates the grades is materials, brakes, suspension tune and, at the top, power.

GT-R NISMO

The most extreme GT-R Nissan builds.

The NISMO takes the twin-turbo V6 to 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque, and backs it with a Nissan/Brembo carbon ceramic braking system, NISMO-tuned suspension and a NISMO aerodynamic body design. It is the sharpest expression of everything the GT-R has stood for.

Owning a GT-R in Chicagoland

A supercar that doesn’t hide from winter.

Most cars in this performance bracket are rear-wheel drive and go into storage in November. The GT-R is different: its all-wheel-drive system gives the feel and response of rear-wheel drive with the confidence of all-wheel drive, which changes what the car can do between Thanksgiving and April.

  • All-wheel drive with Vehicle Dynamic Control for Chicago’s less-than-perfect roads
  • Weekend runs up Sheridan Road, or out to Wisconsin’s back roads

Nissan GT-R FAQ

Questions Chicago shoppers actually ask before buying.

If your question isn’t covered here, call us at (847) 965-3460 — our team will give you a straight answer.

How much does the Nissan GT-R cost?

Starting MSRP runs from $121,090 for the Premium to $221,090 for the NISMO. In between sit the Skyline Edition at $131,090, the T-Spec at $141,090 and the T-Spec Takumi Edition at $151,090. MSRP excludes destination and handling charges, tax, title, license and options, and the dealer sets the actual price.

How much horsepower does the GT-R have?

The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 produces 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque in the Premium models. The NISMO is tuned further, to 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft.

Is the GT-R all-wheel drive?

Yes. Every GT-R is all-wheel drive, paired with one of the most advanced all-wheel-drive and Vehicle Dynamic Control systems ever used in a road car. The result is the feel and response of rear-wheel drive with the confidence of all-wheel drive.

Does the GT-R come with a manual transmission?

No. The GT-R uses a six-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters across the range — a gearbox designed to change gears faster than a driver can with a clutch pedal.

What is the difference between the T-Spec and the Premium?

Mechanically they share the 565-hp twin-turbo V6, the dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive. The T-Spec adds semi-aniline leather-appointed front seats, the Mori Green with gold stitching interior treatment and a quilted Alcantara headliner, and it opens up heritage colors such as Millennium Jade and Midnight Purple.

What makes the NISMO worth the difference?

The NISMO raises output to 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft and adds a Nissan/Brembo Carbon Ceramic Braking System, NISMO-tuned suspension and a NISMO aerodynamic body design. It’s the most track-focused GT-R Nissan builds.

Can I drive a GT-R through a Chicago winter?

Its all-wheel drive makes the GT-R far more usable in winter than most cars with this kind of performance. As with any high-performance car, tires do most of the work — talk to us about a winter setup if you plan to drive it year-round on the North Shore.

Do you have a GT-R in stock right now?

The GT-R is an allocation car built in small numbers, so stock changes constantly and we don’t list it as regular inventory. Call (847) 965-3460 or send us the grade and color you’re after, and we’ll tell you honestly what’s available.
