2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO Commands $65,000 Premium
The 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO will start from $176,585 including destination.
Pricing was announced at the 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO’s North American debut at the Japanese Classic Car Show at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Its price tag puts it $65,000 over the standard 2017 Nissan GT-R Premium, while adding 35 horsepower and 14 pound-feet of torque for a total of 600 hp and 481 lb-ft. A big part of the NISMO model is its styling changes, which include front and rear carbon-fiber bumpers, black outside mirrors with red stripe and carbon-fiber side sills and emblem treatment. It also features a handmade dry carbon spoiler that sports a special coating that allows the carbon-fiber “weave” to be felt.

Also standard on the 2017 Nissan GT-R NISMO is a special, lightweight titanium exhaust system. The four-wheel independent suspension also receives unique NISMO tuning, with reduced weight and additional roll stiffness. Helping increase body rigidity on the NISMO variant is additional adhesive bonding and spot welding.
Options for the model include Super Silver ($3,000) and Pearl White ($1,000) paint and carpeted GT-R floor mats ($295).

An impressive car. I don't want one, but it is fast and well engineered.
