The Nissan GT-R, a supercar that stands boldly with its performance first declaration, commands attention even in East Hampton where supercar sightings are an hourly occurrence. A pride of Japan for its style, power, speed and technology the Nissan GT-R is more accessible then its Italian and english counterpoints yet every bit seductive with its enviable posture.
This new GT-R with a number of updates, the most since it was introduced in 2007, include a new V-motion grille atop a enlarged opening to provide better engine cooling, a matte chrome finish, a updated mesh pattern and a new hood. There is a new front spoiler lip and front bumpers with finishers situated immediately below the headlamps that give the new GT-R a track ready look befitting its track ready ride. Inside, the entire dashboard is new, including an instrument panel wrapped in Nappa leather, stitched with Takumi-style precision. The design of the dashboard adopts a “horizontal flow” to deliver a sense of high stability for front seat occupants, while the line from the instrument cluster to the center console provides a distinct driver-oriented environment for the driver. The cushion layer of the instrument panel leather has been updated with a new, thinner material to reduce weight, and the front seats themselves are also lighter, thanks to a new side-support construction method that provides greater comfort and support on long drives.

“As the icon of Nissan’s driving performance, the GT-R continues to evolve. With the signature V-motion grille, the GT-R now possesses the latest Nissan design language. Its exceptional aerodynamic performance and upgraded interior have given the GT-R a more mature character, which will continue into the future,” said Mamoru Aoki, executive design director, Global Design Center.
The GT-R’s award-winning 3.8-liter V6 24-valve twin-turbocharged engine ise handcrafted by its own Takumi technician – now delivers 565 horsepower at 6800 rpm and 467 lb-ft of torque, that propels the car to rocket speed in the blink of an eye.
The Nissan GT-R is a super car that gets noticed. The integrated design suggests aerodynamic speed and that is what it delivers. It’s ‘low-key chic’ for confident drivers that prefer to start the conversation with a fast, wheel-spinning exit.  Nissan GTR.
