A hand-built 3.8L twin-turbo V6 lies at the heart of every Nissan GT-R. Each engine in the 2017 GT-R is assembled by one of five master craftsman – they are called Takumi – at Nissan’s plant in Yokohama, Japan. The divide between mass production and hand crafting has reached the world of mainstream car brands, albeit only for a few select models. One of these is Nissan’s GT-R.
The 2017 Nissan GT-R has been updated with an exciting new look both inside and out, as well as major driving performance enhancements in key areas, including a significantly reinforced chassis and more power from its twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter 24-valve V-6.
The new GT-R is also more comfortable than ever, with a new sense of elegance and civility that one would rarely find in such a high-performance super sports car. In all, these revisions represent the most significant changes made to the model since it was introduced as a 2009 model.
