First time in many years, the 2024 Nissan GT-R receives an update. We’re not alone in saying that it needs an update. The current car looks good, but its performance is not up to par. For 2024, the car will not only get a new look but also a brand-new NISMO model that is even more powerful.
2024 Nissan GT-R NISMO Version Review
Nissan is a little early in its product cycle to announce cars for 2024. The updated 2024 GT-R will be available this summer. The 2024 GT-R is now available in three different flavors: Premium, T Spec, and NISMO. The bodywork of the new car has been revised, and it now features a lower fascia and a different rear wing that reduces drag and increases downforce. The Premium and T Spec cars have a staggering 565 horsepower.
The Premium is the base model, while the TSpec gets an upgraded body package without the performance upgrade of the NISMO. Nissan says that the T-Spec gets upgraded rotors and Brembo brakes from NISMO. The T-Spec interior is also unique, with a green color.
Engine
The 2024 GT-R NISMO will add 45 horsepower to its V-6, giving it a total of 600 turbocharged horses. The turbos came from Nissan’s GT3 racing car. NISMO also includes new wheels, carbon fiber hoods, a different engine cover, and a first-time limited-slip diff on the front axle. Most people forget that the GT-R has an all-wheel drive.
NISMO’s new carbon-ceramic braking system is 36 pounds lighter, allowing it to stop faster. It also has a new Vehicle Dynamic Control tuned for NISMO, which improves traction. The NISMO also receives an improved transmission, Recaro seating, and increased torsional stiffness.
2024 Nissan GT-R NISMO Version Price & Release Date
The Nissan GT-R premium for 2024 starts at $120 990. The GT-R T-Spec costs $140,990 and the GTR-NISMO adds an incredible $100,000 to the price of the base model. Although an additional 45 horsepower, a reduced curb weight, and some incredible brakes might sound like a big improvement, it’s not. You’re unlikely to find roads that will allow you to fully exploit this technology and performance. If you happen to come across a Porsche 911 on the road, you will be able to compete with it.
The T-Spec is a great option for 2024. The NISMO body kit and improved brakes are available without spending NISMO dollars. There are also so many shops that offer aftermarket tuning that you will be able to find one that can easily boost your GT-R beyond 600 horsepower.
