Not much has changed with the basic specs as the prior version of the GT-R also had a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo, 24-valve V6. However, there is evidence of improvement in horsepower and torque. Looking at one of the first models in 2009 the horsepower ranged from 430 to 480 and reached 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds. Today the supercar giant killer produces 565 horsepower and can go from a standing start to 60 mph in only 2.9 seconds. This dream car still operates on an all-wheel drive system with a single transaxle and differential, mounted in the rear. The Nissan GT-R Premium has a dual-clutch 6-speed sequential gearbox with a total of three different drive modes including normal, save and R-Mode for the upmost performance. Sitting in the driver’s seat, this GT-R checks all the right boxes. The engine and gearbox are connected by a carbon-fiber prop-shaft making it feel more like a mid-engine GT instead of the front engine coupe it is.

On track, the dual intake exhaust mechanism plays a beautiful melody and when switched into R-Mode, the sequential gearbox preselects the next gear to fabricate upshifts faster than a blink of an eye, antagonizing you to drive harder. All thanks to its assembly, the Nissan GT-R Premium suspension presents tons of grip through the corners. Squeeze the throttle at the apex and the butt will slide and you’ll hear the tires scream with joy while still maintaining full control. The Nissan GT-R Premium is a driver’s dream that deserves the upmost recognition.
