Wait for it. Nissan has announced pricing for the 2017 Nissan GT-R and it’s $8,220 more than the previous $103,365 2016 GT-R Premium. With a new starting price tag of $111,585 – that includes a hefty $1,595 destination charge – the 2017 Nissan GT-R has climbed a long way up the pricing ladder from when it was first introduced to the United States car market in July of 2008.
According to Nissan, “The 2017 GT-R now offers 565 horsepower, an increase of 20 HP versus the 2016 model, with a flatter torque curve for enhanced on-demand acceleration.”
The new 2017 Nissan GT-R also features an updated cabin and “an 8-inch capacitive touch panel monitor replaces the previous 7-inch design.”
Recently, Andre had the chance to chat with “Mr. GT-R” Hiroshi Tamura about the new car and – just as importantly – about all of the previous generations of Nissan’s iconic GT-R. If you love the GT-R, you’ll appreciate the video below as we go way inside baseball to learn about what makes the new 2017 Nissan GT-R “Godzilla”.
BTW: While Nissan has not yet announced the price increase of the Black Edition or Nismo Editions, we can guess at what it will cost if $8,220 is a constant price hike throughout the entire 2017 Nissan GT-R line up. It means the Black Edition would go from $113,105 to $121,325 and the Nismo from $151,585 to $159,805.
This price increase for the NISMO model will put it close to the $156,000 base M.S.R.P. of the new 2017 Acura NSX hybrid. We’re certainly living in the Golden Age of sports cars when both the Nissan GT-R and the Acura NSX will once again roam the planet at the same time.
