Yahoo Autos 2017 Nissan GT-R: A Nip, A Tuck And More Speed Than Ever
Meet the new 2017 Nissan GT-R—or rather, the thoroughly updated version of the Japanese supercar king after a facelift, a few trips to the gym and a new interior designer
The Godzilla of speed occupies a fun slot in the racecar world as the affordable track and street champion against all comers, even though it’s now starts above $100,000 and can soar past $150,000 with options. While Nissan has a long racing history and runs in several series around the world, the GT-R’s niche seems increasingly removed from the rest of the firm’s business in mass-market SUVs, cars and pickups.
If anything, the redesign maintains the minimalist style that has graced the current generation of GT-R since its launch in 2007, adding the corporate V-shaped grille but otherwise maintaining the car’s profile. Those changes wrap around the car to include a new hood, fenders, tail lamps and bumpers that update the look without removing the menace that provides its street presence.
