Overall Rating
Having a supercar DNA, it goes up against the likes of Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Audi TT RS and Porsche 911 Carrera S.
Priced at $96,820 the new Nissan GTR is one of the most affordable supercars out in the market. Don’t judge it by the price sticker, as it can literally put other expensive and powerful supercars to shame. For 2013, this Nissan coupe has been upgraded and now the engine produces 15 more horsepower and torque than the previous model year. Having a supercar DNA, it goes up against the likes of Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Audi TT RS and Porsche 911 Carrera S.
We recommend you stick with the Premium trim. If performance is your main concern then the Premium trim is the right choice. It is more value for money deal and includes all the features and performance that you will get in the higher end Black Edition Trim.
