Nissan GT-R R35
Sports CarProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Nissan GT-R R35 is a flagship sports car in production from 2008 to 2022. It was available with a several tunes of Nissan's VR38DETT bi-turbo V6 engine that displaced 3.8 liters. A 6-speed rear-mounted transaxle with a unique AWD setup is standard.
Over the years, Nissan continued to update the vehicle without replacing it. In the first years of its production, the GT-R was one of the best performing sports cars, easily beating supercars that cost twice or thrice the price.
Nissan has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.26 coefficient of drag to show for it. Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 332L (12cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Nissan GT-R comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. This is a bit unusual for AWD and less tunable than a multi-link front setup, but what you lose in performance you gain in durability.

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)The new Nismo is around 27kg lighter than it was, although that still leaves its kerb weight at 1703kg. Inside, there is a fantastic suede-ish-covered steering wheel and new Recaro seats that offer brilliant lateral support. The interior got a host of upgrades in 2017, with plenty of carbonfibre on display and some nicely stitched leather.
Pros
- Gorgeous looks
- Lots of standard equipment
- Superb handling
Cons
- Not as comfortable as rivals
- Not as light as rivals

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)wheel-drive transmission ties itself in knots when manoeuvring at low speeds. There aren't really any direct rivals for the Nissan GT-R. Audi RS 5 Coupe comes closest to the four-seat, four-wheel drive coupe formula. Instead you'd need to look at the Audi R8 or Porsche 911 Carrera 4 or Panamera.
Pros
- Fastest GT-R in the world
- Powerful engine
Cons
- Cheap to run

Reviewer score 79% (normalized by Neofiliac)ismo from 0-62mph in less than three seconds. Nissan engineers have upgraded the brakes to cope with the speed. The steering is lighter than you’d think, but it’s incredibly sensitive too. Despite being 1703kg the GT-R encourages and often requires fingertip handling.
Pros
- Gorgeous interior
- Impressive handling
- Nismo-tuned suspension
Cons
- Ride comfort isn’t the best

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nissan GT-R is a sporty coupe with a well-earned reputation for offering huge performance at a knockdown price. It's an alternative to cars such as the Porsche 911 Turbo S, Mercedes AMG GT and Aston Martin V8 Vantage. When the car was facelifted in 2016, it inherited a new interior. The stitched leather dashboard adds class while the simplified layout and new infotainment system are welcome improvements.
Pros
- Powerful engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Expensive compared to alternatives

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo starts at $212,435, including destination. The Nismo uses an older six-speed, dual-clutch transmission. Infotainment duties are handled by the NissanConnect software, housed on an 8-inch color display on the dash.
Pros
- Better handling than the GT-R Premium
- Fantastic infotainment tech
Cons
- No Android Auto
- Lackluster rear-seat legroom
topgear[6]
Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)Priced from £86,000, the GT-R is no longer the brand-new bargain it once was. But compare it to anything with like-for-like performance, such as a base Porsche 911 Turbo – £134,000 before some fairly vital options. You get a lot of equipment for your £86k, too, with a thumping 11-speaker Bose stereo, eight-way adjustable sports seats and a titanium exhaust all standard-fit.
Pros
- Gorgeous looks
- Punchy performance
- Fantastic infotainment
Cons
- Lacklustre AWD
- Pricier than rivals
