Japanese car brand Nissan recently launched their much-anticipated high-performance supercar—Nissan GT-R—at the 2016 New York International Auto Show.
The Nissan GT-R is a 2-door monster supercar built by Nissan for Speed Addicts. It’s engine is the only sports car that are hand-built by race engineers and experts.
So what’s new with the 2017 Nissan GT-R?
Starting with the exterior body, we found out that new GT-R gets a complete makeover from the new matte chrome “V-motion” grille, new hood, fully-designed front spoiler lip and front bumpers. The rear of the car also received a thorough makeover. While the GT-R’s hallmark four-ring taillights remain, look closely and you’ll notice new bodywork to help improve air flow, as well as side air vents next to the quad exhaust tips.
Inside, you’ll be greeted by its premium interior. The entire dashboard and instrument panel are new and covered with high-quality leather artfully stitched together with Takumi precision.
Meanwhile, the center dashboard layout has also been improved and simplified. Integrated navigation and audio controls reduce the number of switches from 27 in the previous model to only 11 in the 2017 model. An enlarged 8-inch touch-panel monitor features large icons and new Display command control on the carbon-fiber center console allows easy operation for the driver. To experience more fun while driving, Nissan mounted shift paddles on the steering wheel, allowing drivers to change gears in mid-turn without having to take their hands off the wheel.
The new Nissan GT-R is equipped with 3.8-liter V6 24-valve twin-turbocharged engine that delivers a massive 565 horsepower. In terms of colors, Nissan added a “Blaze Metallic” with multi layered painting and newly Black Rakuda and Samurai Black.
