Nissan GT-R Police Car Enters Service In Japan

Dubai was one of the first countries to add a Nissan GT-R police car to its fleet but they’re getting a little competition from Japan.

According to Nissan, a resident from the Tochigi Prefecture donated a GT-R to the local police force in Tochigi. The car was delivered earlier today at a special ceremony and the automaker says it will soon enter service as a patrol car.

Nissan didn’t say much else about the car but it features a black and white livery with matching black wheels that cover orange brake calipers. The GT-R has also been equipped with a large light bar that appears to have a speaker up front. Rounding out the changes are police badging and LED emergency lights in the grille.

Little else is known about the car but the model appears to be brand new. As a result, it likely features a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine with 565 hp (421 kW / 572 PS) and 467 lb-ft (632 Nm) of torque. In the latest GT-R, the engine is connected to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission which sends power to an all-wheel drive system.

Regardless of the car’s specifications, the GT-R is a pretty generous gift as U.S. pricing starts at $99,990.

Autoguide notes this isn’t the first GT-R police car to enter service in Japan. The country is also home to an R34 GT-R police car which has reportedly been in service for a number of years and was spotted patrolling the streets as recently as 2016.
