Used 2014 Nissan GT-R Black Edition for sale 

The addition of the top-end Track Edition trim for the 2014 model year makes the count to three trims in the GT-R lineup. The other two trims include Premium and Black Edition. The Black Edition is distinguished for its blacked-out exterior. It also adds premium leather upholstery. The new Track Edition trim adds a sports suspension for a true sporty riding experience. 

Under the muscular hood beats Nissan’s 3.8-liter V6. This is force-fed by twin-turbochargers for a peak output of 545 horsepower and 463 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. This transmission offers automatic shifting or driver-control shifts via paddle shifters, all without the use of a clutch pedal. The transmission also features a competition model that speeds gear changes from merely fast to blindingly quick. The standard all-wheel-drive system divides power between the front and rear wheels. The system can send up to 50% of available power to the front wheels and up to 100 % to the rear wheels. 

With the accelerator pedal firmly pressed, the GT-R makes a strong first impression. The all-wheel-drive system does an excellent job of putting the 480 horsepower output on the ground. From a standstill, the GT-R can accelerate to 60 mph in slightly more than 3 seconds. Ensuring the GT-R stops as quickly as it accelerates are Brembo brakes with 15-inch discs at all four corners and big six-piston calipers in the front. The GT-R steering feels tight and responsive and the 20-inch wheels and tires provide incredible grip in the corners. When not attacking the racetrack or mountain passes, the adjustable suspension can be switched from sport to comfort mode, softening the ride enough to make the GT-R a completely tolerable commuter car. 

The Porsche 911 Turbo is the only car to give a tough challenge to the GT-R. Despite being low-[owered, it takes the same time as the GT-R to reach 60 mph and is slightly quicker in the quarter-mile run. Praises go to the Jaguar XKR as it is behind the Chevrolet Camaro by just a few milliseconds though it produces just 70 horses less than the Camaro. 

Fuel economy is not so great in the Nissan GT-R. Its fire-breathing 546 horsepower from the powerful V6 sucks more juice to deliver that impeccable performance. In the cities, the GT-R is rated at 16 mpg while the highway figure is estimated at 23 mpg. A combined mileage of 19 mpg is offered by the GT-R. 

Once again Porsche’s name flashes on the top of the table for being the most fuel-friendly coupe on the list. Next to it is the Jaguar XKR with 18 mpg combined. Both the GT-R and the Chevy Camaro display a decent mileage for their class. 

The interior has an understated but modern appearance that wins big points by being far more comfortable than most supercars. The Nissan GT-R delivers supercar-like performance but unlike many supercars, getting into the GT-R is as easy as a family sedan. 

Once inside, the cabin provides good head and legroom for front-seat passengers along with comfortable front seats that also offer excellent lateral support. Those in the back must make do with extremely limited head and legroom. With about 9 cubic feet of space, the trunk is roomy enough to accommodate a couple of small bags for overnight trips. 

The rivals offer a similar front room like the GT-R but things get awry in the rear row. The GT-R offers the least legroom in the rear row while the headroom of the Jaguar XKR might not be suitable for taller adults. Speaking of trunk volume, both Jaguar and Chevrolet Camaro lead the table while the Porsche 911 Turbo offers the least. Some of the other features include:

• Push-button start
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Leather-wrapped dashboard
• Carbon-fiber interior trim
• Aluminum foot pedals
• Auto-dimming rearview mirror
• Tilt & telescopic steering wheel

How intuitive is the 2014 Nissan GT-R’s infotainment system?

The Nissan GT-R features quite a few high-tech features but simple toggle switches and an intuitive 7-inch touchscreen interface make controlling them easy. Topping our list of favorites is the Nissan GT-R’s performance screen.

Customizable screens allow the driver to create personalized readouts of vehicle performance and engine data which is useful on the track but also just plain cool. An 11-speaker Bose premium audio system is the perfect choice for audiophiles. Some other features include:

• Satellite radio
• USB port
• Voice recognition
• Navigation system
• HD radio
• Auxiliary audio input
• Two 12V power outlet

No one’s going to call the Nissan GT-R sleek and sexy. It is dripping with testosterone from those massive exhaust pipes out at the back to the great big 20-inch wheels. These wheels are both forged and lightweight. They are a perfect choice for this Japanese monster. It also features swept-back headlights, aggressive side-vents, and four huge exhaust outlets. While the GT-R’s body styling may not appeal to everyone, there is no arguing with its contribution to performance. All the sharp angles and sleek features contribute to a remarkably low 0.27 drag coefficient and the GT-R’s slippery shape help it to achieve a top speed of 193 mph

Perhaps, the biggest feature of the GT-R is that it’s really big. This beast has an excessive amount of road presence which makes it all the more surprising that it has the same aerodynamics as a Toyota Prius. The carbon-fiber wing is not only good-looking but also fully functional. At higher speeds, the rear wing, front spoiler, and smooth underbody panels help produce aerodynamic downforce for all four tires further improving grip. 

With 112.3 inches of wheelbase, the Chevy Camaro a spacious interior in this competition. The short length of the GT-R helps it maneuver and park at tight places easily. Also, its nearly 3800 pounds of curb weight doesn’t alter its performance. Some of the exterior highlights of the GT-R include:

• 20-inch painted alloy wheels
• LED brake lights
• Power and heated mirrors
• Quad exhaust pipes
• Rear wing
• Aluminum door handles
• Brembo premium brakes

In terms of safety, the new Nissan GT-R offers only a rearview camera as a standard safety feature. Also, both the safety agencies did not crash-test the GT-R and hence, the safety ratings are not available. However, the side-impact door beams can protect the passengers in case of a side crash. 

The Nissan GT-R is the ultimate performance car for those who learn to drive fast-playing video games. You’ll love the GT-R if you enjoy a truly mind-blowing performance. However, some people may not like it if brand exclusivity is important for them. While eminently capable, some buyers may be reluctant to spend $99,590 for a car wearing a Nissan badge.
