2024 Nissan GT-R

MSRP Range: $120,990 - $220,990 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

+58

The base Nissan GT-R is a relative bargain for a high-performance coupe. Real-world performance is exceptional, especially considering how easy this car is to drive quickly. But the GT-R's age shows up in the car's familiar looks, dated technology features and slow-shifting transmission.

Pros

Twin-turbo V6 delivers explosive acceleration
Easy to drive for maximum performance
Ride is surprisingly comfortable

Cons

Lurchy and noisy powertrain, especially at low speeds
Dated infotainment system graphics
Doesn't offer the latest advanced driver aids or tech features

What's new

Minor styling refresh that benefits aerodynamics
T-Spec trim returns to the lineup
Nismo model adds a front limited-slip differential
Part of the first GT-R generation introduced for 2009

Overview

The Nissan GT-R is commonly nicknamed Godzilla and, like that fictional lizard, the GT-R is seemingly immortal. The GT-R first came to the States in 2009 and hasn't received a full redesign in the 15 years since. We fully expected that it would be discontinued for 2024, but to our surprise, it's back. Going that long without a redesign is unheard of for sports cars, though the GT-R has received numerous updates. It remains a solid performer, but its age has been showing for quite some time in regard to technology and design.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Nissan GT-R Premium 2dr Coupe AWD (3.8L 6cyl Turbo 6AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of N/A undefined in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: The GT-R's performance

With as much as 600 horsepower being distributed to all four wheels, the Nissan GT-R still has the goods to keep up with much newer sports cars. It can rip from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, and stout brakes and physics-defying handling help round out the GT-R's capabilities. Not only that, but the GT-R is unusually easy to drive near its limits thanks to clever electronic vehicle dynamics tuning.

Competitors to consider

The 2024 Nissan GT-R is in league with some serious sports cars. The Chevrolet Corvette and Porsche 911 cost less to start, and for similar money you can upgrade to the Z06 or Carrera S that can meet or beat the GT-R's performance. The Vette, 911 and BMW M8 are all excellent alternatives that surpass the GT-R's aging platform. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below for more detail.

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the GT-R drive? The GT-R delivers astounding acceleration, while the all-wheel-drive system allows novices to pilot this sports car with surprising ease. The throttle tip-in is lazy. It makes acceleration easy to manage at all speeds, but the engine should be more responsive when you push the pedal. The transmission is slow to respond to inputs unless you're shifting manually.

Launch control acceleration is explosive — a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds makes the GT-R one of the quickest cars we've ever tested. Stopping from 60 mph takes 109 feet, which is decent but a few feet longer than the competition.

Comfort

6.5/10

How comfortable is the GT-R? The adaptive suspension works well to eliminate bumpiness from poorly paved roads. The ride is firm yet acceptable with the dampers in their normal setting. Switch to Comfort and the ride is no rougher than in a sporty Audi. The seats lack adjustment, and their aggressive lumbar support might be a deal-breaker.

The GT-R's powertrain noise might appeal to those who want to be reminded they are driving a machine, but it comes off as unrefined. The climate system is a bit finicky too. Our test car blew cold air at high fan speeds when set at 78 on a 70-degree day. Manual control is best here.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? Improvements throughout its life span have kept the GT-R's cabin looking fresh. It's easy to get in and out of, and the view out isn't as bunker-like as it is in other sports cars. Most of the controls are easy to use, but the active exhaust and driving aid buttons are well hidden near your knees.

The cabin is fairly roomy as sports cars go. It definitely doesn't feel claustrophobic, and two people can fit without bumping shoulders. Anybody 6 feet tall or shorter will fit fine. Taller folks might have to scrunch down to avoid brushing against the headliner. There's not much room in the back for people, but you can at least toss some gear back there.

Technology

6.5/10

How’s the tech? The infotainment system is quite dated. Navigation is inaccurate, and the voice control system is clumsy. There's Apple CarPlay but no Android Auto smartphone integration. Front and rear parking sensors are standard, as is a rearview camera. That's it. There are no other driving aids or assistance systems to help with the mundanities of day-to-day traffic.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? Though the trunk is relatively large, the tall liftover height makes loading and unloading items awkward. You have to drop gear into the cargo hold, and removing heavy items is difficult. The button to open it is at your lower shin, so it's best to use the key fob. Interior storage is limited, but you can use the rear seats as extra shelf space.

Fuel Economy

8.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The GT-R is rated at 18 mpg combined (16 city/22 highway), which is in line with other supercars and slightly more efficient than V8-powered rivals. It delivered 20.1 mpg on our highway-heavy evaluation route, so it's fair to assume you will be able to match the EPA numbers if you drive with restraint.

Value

7.0/10

Is the GT-R a good value? You get a lot of performance for the money, at least with the base trim level. (The top-spec Nismo, which costs nearly twice as much, is a much poorer value.) But there are fewer high-end cabin materials than in rivals, and powertrain noises constantly sound like something is breaking. Some warranty coverage isn't as robust as what rivals offer.

Wildcard

9.0/10

We like the GT-R's budget supercar vibe. It delivers exceptional handling on mountain roads, and acceleration is rapid at full throttle. While the first models of this generation were chided as being too digital, the GT-R's responses and feedback seem analog in this day and age. Its understated, almost bulky design doesn't have the visual impact of an exotic sports car, but there's enough going on that passersby will recognize the GT-R as something special.

Which GT-R does Edmunds recommend?

For the majority of drivers, we recommend the entry-level Premium trim. It's already an impressive performer in terms of power and handling. The new T-Spec trim should be a hit among GT-R enthusiasts who can appreciate the vehicle's history, while the Nismo is best left for those seeking a track-day weapon. For both of those models, we're not convinced the upgrades are worth the rather extraordinary price increases.

Nissan GT-R models

The 2024 Nissan GT-R is a four-passenger coupe that's available in three trim levels: Premium, T-Spec and Nismo. All are powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine. The Premium and T-Spec produce 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque, while the Nismo increases output to 600 hp and 481 lb-ft. The engine is paired to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Keep reading for our editorial breakdown of the GT-R's standard and optional features.

Premium
The entry-level GT-R Premium comes equipped with:

20-inch forged wheels with high-performance tires
Sport suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers
Front and rear Brembo performance brakes
Limited-slip differential (for improved traction)
Keyless entry with push-button start
Leather and synthetic suede upholstery
Power-adjustable, heated front sport seats
11-speaker Bose audio system with satellite radio
8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Navigation system
Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

The GT-R Premium has one notable optional package:

Premium Interior package

Upgraded leather upholstery
Additional leather interior trim

T-Spec
The T-Spec trim adds several performance and unique interior upgrades that include:

Millennium Jade or Midnight Purple heritage paint colors
Wider front wheels and fenders
Lightweight wheels with a gold finish
Stickier Nismo-specific tires
Carbon-ceramic brakes
Nismo-tuned traction and stability control
Premium leather upholstery
An exclusive green interior color

Nismo
The top-spec GT-R has been tuned by Nissan's Nismo performance division. It includes the T-Spec's performance upgrades but not its aesthetic changes or parking sensors. Besides the extra power from the engine, the Nismo model has:

Nismo-tuned performance suspension
Limited-slip front differential
Lightweight 20-inch forged wheels with ultra high-performance tires
Lightweight carbon-fiber body work, including the roof and bumpers
Synthetic suede-wrapped Nismo steering wheel
Recaro front sport seats with synthetic suede inserts

5/5 stars, THE modern era supercar!

Manraj S Dhillon, 02/07/2009

Premium 2dr Coupe AWD (3.8L 6cyl Turbo 6AM)

I researched this car for over a year against BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG, Audi RS4, Corvette Z06 and I was coming from a WRX STi and I kid you not, this car does it all. I had heard that it had a hard ride and was noisy but it is not the case. It handles beautifully and turns immediately when you want it to.The power is indescribable and the sound of the car, in my opinion, is just right …

Premium 2dr Coupe AWD (3.8L 6cyl Turbo 6AM)

This car has been a thrill to own! When it first came out, I agree the stats were impressive but based upon pictures alone, I thought it looked horrible...then I saw one in person. Wow, was I wrong with my intial thoughts. The look is aggressive with its wide stance and multiple angles...pictures definitely don't do it justice. I had to purchase it before driving it, but am …

4.5/5 stars, Ferarri Beater

Driver2755, 07/29/2009

Premium 2dr Coupe AWD (3.8L 6cyl Turbo 6AM)

Just returned from a Ferrari Owner's club drive. None of the over 40 cars represented, including a Lambo Murci could touch the GTRs acceleration. The only problem is the factory installed governor which limits the top end to 155. Working to fix this problem. This car is fantastic and I have owned many exotic cars.

4.625/5 stars, Disorientingly Fast!

Nate, 03/30/2009

Premium 2dr Coupe AWD (3.8L 6cyl Turbo 6AM)

I only have 117 miles on the car so far, but what I can say is that it is really an experience. I purchase the car for a daily driver in Wisconsin. The ride is not that harsh, the gear box is a MANUAL for all intense purposes and the shifts feel like a good manual transmission would feel. There is a little too much road noise for my personal taste.

Nissan GT-R vs. Chevrolet Corvette

The change to a mid-engine layout in 2020 was a game changer for the Corvette. The improved weight balance made it a world-class sports car while the price remained relatively accessible. That means you can upgrade to the top Z06 model with a wicked 670-hp V8 engine. Acceleration is comparable to the more expensive GT-R, even though the Corvette is rear-wheel-drive only.

Nissan GT-R vs. Porsche 911

It's odd to think that a Nissan can cost more than a Porsche, but that's the reality with the GT-R. A base Porsche 911 Carrera costs $13,000 less than the base GT-R and delivers strong performance, impeccable build quality and more modern technology, though this model doesn't perform on the same level. Even so, stepping up to a competitive 911 S keeps the price comparable.

Nissan GT-R vs. BMW M8

The BMW M8 is more of a high-performance touring coupe than an all-out sports car, but it should easily impress even the most jaded of drivers. Like the GT-R, the M8 is heavier than some rivals and comes standard with all-wheel drive. The BMW's technology features are far more advanced, though, and the build quality and interior materials are noticeably better.
