![]() While the ultimate version is the NISMO, it’s nearly twice as much as the Premium model and costs more than the exotic McLaren 570 and Porsche 911 Turbo S. Still, those seeking permanent seat time in the mightiest car to carry the GT-R badge probably aren't too worried about price. Somehow Nissan charges six figures for a car that cost less than that when it debuted a decade ago-and hasn't changed much since. We’re not sure how much longer this generation of the iconic nameplate will remain in production, and those who decide to buy a new one will surely appreciate the still-monstrous capability of Godzilla. The same dual-clutch automatic transmission and grippy all-wheel drive system are present, and they work together to provide the blistering acceleration that the GT-R has come to be known for. The usual performance bits are still present, too, including e-adjustable Bilstein dampers and Brembo brakes with carbon-ceramic setups for the performance-focused variants. The twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 engine still makes 600 horsepower under the hood of NISMO units, while Premium and T-Spec models see a tamer yet still potent 565 ponies. Although it’s been updated yet again, the Nissan GT-R is basically still the same R35-generation coupe that began hitting dealer lots 15 years ago and quickly earned the nickname "Godzilla." This year sees the return of the mid-tier T-Spec model, which slots between the Premium and full-blown NISMO versions.
