Sneak Peek: 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO

These include components used in the GT-R’s racing competition in the GT-3 series: race-proven turbochargers; carbon ceramic brake rotors; retuned suspension; faster, adaptive shifting; and GT-3 style fender louvers. Engine output is a massive 600hp and 652 Nm.
There are gorgeous 20-inch RAYS forged aluminum wheels, a nine-spoke design that saves on weight. Further weight savings for comes courtesy of carbon fiber roof panel, front and rear bumpers, front fenders, hood, trunk and rear spoiler. There’s also a new seat design for holding down the driver’s shoulder blades.
The result is far greater than the sum of all its minute improvements, a definitive leap from all other R35s. The GT-R NISMO earns its title as King of the JDM sports cars, much like its pop-culture namesake, Godzilla.
