Just over a week ago we saw one of the first shipments of U.S.-bound GT-Rs sitting in port at Jacksonville, Florida. Now Nissan has announced the first cars will be finding their new homes starting Monday, July 7. Over 1,700 of the 2,500 cars allotted for U.S. sale this year are already spoken for.
For those not yet intimately familiar with the GT-R, the car is an AWD, dual-clutch, twin-turbo V6-powered bargain supercar. At 480hp (358kW) and with a Nordschleife time of 7 minutes 29 seconds, the MSRP of $69,850 for the base and $71,900 for the premium make the car one of the best buys available if outright performance is what you’re after.
Of course, finding a GT-R at MSRP is nearly impossible, despite Nissan’s best efforts to combat dealer markups. Even at close to $100,000 its hard to find a car that can compete with, let alone beat, the GT-R in straight-line or road course ability. Corvette’s ZR-1 might be up to the task in the right hands, though by all accounts the driver aids in the GT-R make it rather easy to drive fast, making up for a lack of talent or skill that the ZR-1 might punish with its more raw driving experience. And at $103,000 list price, it’s likely to be marked up further still.
