Nissan GTR is the latest car from the Nissan stable, which had originally made its d©but in Japan in the year 2007. The Japanese automaker has redesigned this expensive and fast sports car for feisty performance and agile handling. It is widely speculated that Nissan GTR will be on Indian roads by the end of 2014, though there has been no official announcement by the company about the launch of GTR in the Indian markets.
Nissan GTR is a two-door coup©, which can comfortably accommodate four people. The huge black coloured front grille with sweptback headlights, aluminum hood, trunk lid, huge wheels, the LED fog lights, air inlets, and the large outer doors with narrow windows all add to the masculine look of this car. Its look will appeal to the youth.
The black colour inside the GTR is complemented well with red colour leather works. The seats are well cushioned and offer proper support at the right places along with adequate leg space. There is enough storage space at the rear in addition to the glove box, front door pockets and cubbyholes.
Other features like electric windows, adjustable steering, ORVMs, seats with height adjuster, climate control, speed limiter, air conditioning, dual zone automatic temperature control, cruise control, map lights and Home link Universal Transceiver makes the car quite comfortable. The Brembo brakes with ventilated discs on all wheels, anti lock braking system with electronic force distribution, brake aid, eight air bags, collapsible steering column, traction control system and multiple suspension system are some of the safety measures provided in the GTR. It has an audio system with 11 speakers and radio/CD/DVD/MP3 player with USB, AUX-in and iPod compatibility and Bluetooth connectivity.
Nissan GTR is powered by a 3.8-liter twin turbo charged V6 cylinder petrol engine, which generates a maximum power output of 530 bhp and a torque of 612 Nm at 3200 to 6000 rpm. The engine is equipped with an enhanced six-speed semi-automatic transmission gearbox. It may give a mileage of 6 to 7 km per liter. The highest speed of the car is 311 km per hour and it reaches a speed of 0-100 km per hour in just three seconds. It is easy to handle the car at high speeds due to its low ground clearance and aerodynamic design.
Nissan GTR is expected to be in the price range of Rs.69 to Rs. 72 lakh. It is doubtful that this car can attract customary Indian car buyers due its high price and huge maintenance cost. However, it is a suitable choice for the super rich who can afford this price and for those who are particularly looking out for great driving dynamics.
