Nissan announced U.S. pricing for the updated 2015 GT-R, with the base GT-R Premium model starting from $101,770 (€75,145). The GT-R Black Edition and GT-R Track Edition are priced from $111,770 and $115,710, respectively. All prices exclude a $1,995 destination and handling fee.
The first two equipment grades are on sale now at Nissan dealers nationwide, while the GT-R Track Edition and the new GT-R Nismo will join the lineup in summer 2014.
For the 2015 model year, Nissan GT-R features a series of upgrades that give it a more comfortable ride, more refinement and a more upscale interior. The sports car’s suspension has been fine-tuned to reduce load fluctuation between the four wheels, providing better stability and more consistent grip. The brakes have also been retuned for a firmer and more linear response at everyday speeds.
In terms of styling, the updated Nissan GT-R features new LED headlights with AFS (Adaptive Front lighting System) and a distinctive “lightning” motif, while the four-ring taillights now form coherent circles of illumination.
On the inside, the 2015 Nissan GT-R brings a choice of three color schemes including a new pale ivory trim option. The steering wheel gets a leather wrap, while the part-aniline leather seats feature stitched accents.
Under the hood there’s the same 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters. With 545 hp and 463 lb-ft (627 Nm) of torque, the 2015 GT-R delivers 16 mpg (14.7 l/100 km) city and 23 mpg (10.2 l/100 km) highway.
The GT-R Premium and GT-R Black Edition feature special lightweight black aluminum forged RAYS wheels, red and black interior, Recaro leather-appointed seats and a dry carbon fiber rear spoiler.
The limited-production GT-R Track Edition adds a specially tuned suspension, special brake cooling guides, front spoiler with carbon fiber air ducts, special blue-trimmed high-grip seats, as well as a lightweight carbon fiber trunklid, heated front seats and the addition of rear seats.
