2023 Nissan GT-R hasn’t modified from the 2021 Nissan GT-R

Nissan offered a 2022 GT-R in Japan, however not within the U.S. Right here, we made do with an prolonged run of the 2021 GT-R till it offered out, after which … crickets. We have been at midnight about what was to return till Nissan simply turned on the lights, revealing pricing for the U.S.-market 2023 GT-R. Frankly, it is just like the 2021 by no means left; neither the options nor the MSRP has modified from two years in the past. The vacation spot cost is up $200 to $1,895, that is the one option to spot one from the opposite. MSRPs for the Godzilla after vacation spot are:

• GT-R Premium: $115,435
• GT-R Nismo: $212,635

Each trims work with the three.8-liter twin-turbo V6 and six-speed dual-clutch gearbox shoving energy to all 4 corners. They each 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 elements from the GT-R GT3 racer like bigger turbos, so it makes 600 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque. The racier model additionally will get a retuned suspension, bigger carbon-ceramic Brembo rotors, and carbon fiber trim amongst its listing of adjustments. Even so, we do not know the place the Nismo is hiding a $97,000 worth improve over the bottom automobile. Maybe now that the GT-R is again, we have to line the trims up for side-by-side take a look at drives.

As for consolation options, house owners will discover Nappa leather-based everywhere in the cozy cabin and light-weight sport seats to take a seat in. The eight-inch infotainment touchscreen is the instant callback to the R35’s arrival, a show measurement frozen in amber from 2009.

Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida’s final expansive feedback on the matter got here in November 2021, when he instructed Autocar a few next-gen GT-R, “Whether or not we go to quite a lot of electrification or none in any respect, we will obtain loads power-wise. However we’re undoubtedly making a brand new platform, and our purpose is evident: The GT-R must be the quickest automobile of its sort. It has to personal the observe. And it has to play the superior know-how sport. However that doesn’t imply it must be electrical.”

Nissan’s questions on an all-electric GT-R are the identical one being requested by each tremendous sports activities automobile maker, from Porsche to McLaren and Lamborghini: Is EV know-how prepared for a each day driver track-day automobile? To date, the reply is “No.” Uchida did not give any hints about when would possibly see what’s coming, solely saying, “The GT-R is knowledgeable machine, and we have to work it out for the longer term.”
