2020 Nissan GT-R

The 2020 Nissan GT-R is a high-performance sports car renowned for its blistering acceleration, sharp handling, and aggressive styling. It is the flagship model of Nissan’s performance division, Nismo.

The GT-R is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels through Nissan’s ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system.
