Yahoo Autos 2023 Nissan GT-R hasn't changed from the 2021 Nissan GT-R
Nissan sold a 2022 GT-R in Japan, but not in the U.S. Here, we made do with an extended run of the 2021 GT-R until it sold out, and then ... crickets. We've been in the dark about what was to come until Nissan just turned on the lights, revealing pricing for the U.S.-market 2023 GT-R. Frankly, it's like the 2021 never left; neither the features nor the MSRP has changed from two years ago. The destination charge is up $200 to $1,895, that's the only way to spot one from the other. MSRPs for the Godzilla after destination are:
GT-R Premium: $115,435
GT-R Nismo: $212,635
Both trims work with the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 and six-speed dual-clutch gearbox shoving power to all four corners. They both sit on Bilstein DampTronic driver-adjustable shocks and 20-inch, 15-spoke RAYS alloys. The Premium makes 565 horsepower and 467 pound-feet of torque. The Nismo upgrades its engine with parts from the GT-R GT3 racer like larger turbos, so it makes 600 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque. The racier version also gets a retuned suspension, larger carbon-ceramic Brembo rotors, and carbon fiber trim among its list of changes. Even so, we don't know where the Nismo is hiding a $97,000 price increase over the base car. Perhaps now that the GT-R is back, we need to line the trims up for side-by-side test drives.
As for comfort features, owners will find Nappa leather all over the cozy cabin and lightweight sport seats to sit in. The eight-inch infotainment touchscreen is the immediate callback to the R35's arrival, a display size frozen in amber from 2009.
