As promised, Nissan revealed a new version of its GT-R
sports car at the New York Auto Show. And as expected, it’s not really
new. The 2017 Nissan GT-R continues the trend the Japanese car maker has
been following this past few years in which they only slightly tweak
the product and, having bumped the price, present it as a new model.Still, that’s apparently what GT-R fans
want: for the company to so the tune ups they can easily do with
aftermarket parts and then charging them a lot of money. In that sense
the 2017 Nissan GT-R does not disappoint, boasting a little bit more
power – 570 PS and 637Nm of torque – and a refined 6-speed dual-clutch
transmission. There is also a new titanium exhaust with Active Sound
Enhancement. Nissan has also made some changes to the suspension to make
the GT-R more comfortable and less harsh.
In terms of design, there are a fair few
changes made to the exterior as well as interior, but you have to be a
hard-core Godzilla aficionado to spot them. You get new chrome matte
finish “V-motion” grille, a new bonnet, front spoiler lip and front
bumper and side air vents next to the quad exit exhaust pipes. These
changes are designed mainly to make 2017 Nissan GT-R more aerodynamic.
Inside, you find an improved high-quality leather dashboard and a new
steering wheel with paddle shifts mounted on the wheel.
That’s about it for the new GT-R in terms
of significant upgrades, but you do also get new colors such as
“Katsura Orange” shown here. The 2017MY Nissan GT-R launches in autumn.
