FAST FACTS
"If you haven't been keeping up with Nissan's products, you might be surprised to see that the first-generation GT-R is still on the market, an incredible 16 years after its 2009 debut. Its performance remains competitive all these years later, but we have a hard time recommending such an old product when the newer ones are so good. If you're into the GT-R mystique, though, you still have a chance to buy one new."—Ranked #6 out of 6 Luxury Sports Cars
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Nissan GT-R that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Still a badass after all these years, the GT-R remains an intriguing cure for the common Porsche 911. It's undeniably dated inside, however, and as awesome as its powertrain was back in 2009, it's no longer state-of-the-art today.
At nearly twice the price of a base GT-R, the NISMO variant is aimed squarely at the Godzilla faithful. It doesn't make dramatically more power than the regular car, so there's no analogy here to a base 911 Carrera versus a 911 Turbo. But it's bound to be a very rare specimen — that much we can't deny.
