Nissan GT-R FAQs

• How fast is a Nissan GT-R?

  With immense straight-line speed, and even sharper handling, the Nissan GT-R is considered one of the fastest production cars on the market. All the more impressive, it has long been able to go head to head with a number of cars sold at dearer price-point. Thanks to its quick dual-clutch gearbox, as well as all-wheel-drive traction, the Nissan GT-R can race from 0-100km/h in a blistering time of just 2.8 seconds, which has to be seen to be believed.

• How much does a GT-R cost in Australia?

  As the end of the line nears for imports of the Nissan GT-R, you'll have to be quick to snap up one of the last remaining models. However, with supply likely to be in short demand, don't expect prices to follow the recommended figures quoted by Nissan. Normally, the Nissan GT-R starts from an opening price of $193,800 plus on-road costs for the Premium, while at the top of the range is the Nismo SV, which weighs in at a lofty $393,800 before on-road costs.

• Is Nissan discontinuing the GT-R?

  While it has been a niche favourite for many years, the GT-R is now bowing out of the local new car market after new safety regulations caught up with this hot unit. Nissan flagged well in advance that the GT-R would be discontinued form November 2021, with the final round of production to be certified just before that. The manufacturer is required to sell all remaining stock by 1 July 2022, which comes after Australia implemented pole side impact design rules, a barrier the GT-R does not face in other international markets.
