The covers have been pulled off the new, facelifted 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo – the high-performance version of the already monstrous Godzilla receives little in the way of mechanical alterations, but has instead been given a thorough cosmetic makeover to match the standard model.
At the front, the revised, larger V-motion grille sits front and centre, pooling more air without sacrificing aerodynamic performance, while new canards add downforce and also direct air around the wheelhouses to improve aero efficiency. Quad round tail pipes also replace the oval units of the previous model. Overall, the new shape produces more downforce than any other Nissan model to date.
Inside, there’s the completely revised dashboard from the standard facelift, with a new wraparound design for a more cockpit-like feel. On the Nismo, the dashboard, steering wheel and centre armrest have all been wrapped in Alcantara, while leather-wrapped Recaro carbon fibre bucket seats have been carried over from the previous car.
A new infotainment system with an eight-inch capacitative touchscreen – integrated navigation and audio controls reduce the button count from 27 on the previous model to just 11, while a new Display Command knob on the redesigned carbon fibre transmission tunnel make controlling the system even easier.
Under the skin, the standard GT-R facelift’s stiffer bodyshell has enabled engineers to refine the Nismo’s dampers, springs and anti-roll bar, improving the handling still further – contributing to a near 2% improvement in both slalom times and cornering performance over the previous model. As before, the Bilstein DampTronic system get Nismo-specific dampers that transmits power more effectively to the road.
That power is unchanged from before – still breathing through GT3-spec high-flow, large-diameter twin turbochargers, the 3.8 litre VR38DETT V6 develops 600 PS at 6,800 rpm and 652 Nm from 3,600 to 5,600 rpm, sent through all four wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

FT86 or Ae86 will beat this in japan touge
Stupid guy
ae86vs r34..check youtube…tsuchiya ae86
bro there is a huge difference between r34 and r35. But what you said is probably plausible because on a tight road horsepower doesnt really matter because lightweight and handling are the most important aspects. Will not be surprised if they are very close to each other on touge. :D .
Why not compare with r35?
Now,no matter how i like this car but i feel that this car has been facelifted many times since its debut.
I guess an all new model should be in the cards?
Is it P1 copying Nissan or vice versa with facelifts and special edition?
Still a fantastic car though.
I cannot afford but still is boring to even looking at it
3 times faster 0-100 than your beloved proton suprima turbo
Annd its 6 times more expensive. I expect it to be 6 times faster. So whats ur point?
6 times faster drop in RV compare to my vios
I dun think nismo GTRs will ever drop in price. Probably since its limited, it will only go up for mint unit.
But our Ministers say Proton better than Volvo and BMW. So our Proton much better than this Nissan I presume.
Syukurlah john!
3 times faster & almost everything better :)
It’s not 6 times more expensive in Langkawi. So whats your point?
1 of the Beast…..
Nice Ride !!!
The great grandfather of almera
If only almari had even 10% design element from this beast, it will be a gud car. Now its just dugong 2.0
almera nismo sees a gtr will also pretend like driving gtr nismo…
