Nissan GT-R Nismo (R35) specs

If I were to give a GT class designation, the NISMO would be GT2. Unfortunately, it would be on the slower side of GT2. You can't really compare this with a GT3 car, like the 911 GT3 or the Corvette Z06, since those had all the high-end natural grip and downforce. The GT-R NISMO, especially in markets outside of Japan where the N-Attack package rather wasn't available, and especially since the 7:08 lap time was done at the 'ring with track-only tires, was much more comfortable than any GT3 car.

Quite ironically, GT2 is more like GT4 than GT3. Likewise, the former GT1 is more like today's GT3. With Nissan, IT IS TRICKY. But you can never call this a GT3 car. It's a "soft" GT2 car like today's Maserati GT2 Stradale.

Its closest competitors in terms of driving dynamics would have to be the Ford GT and McLaren 675LT (or 765LT, depending on the model year) and Ferrari 488 Pista, but those are still way out of this car's league in straight-line performance.

Post under review. Will be published by moderator shortly.

The real lap time would be somewhere around 7:34 (that's around the Nurburgring Nordschleife by the way). The NISMO is not a hardcore track car contrary to it being the top trim level. The N-Attack version isn't even sold in the US, but it would probably do around 7:19. It's not even remotely faster than the standard 2017+ version. The NISMO is a joke. NISMO is nothing but an appearance package. I miss the old Nissan where they had Spec-V Sentras and SE-R Altimas, and of course the R34 GT-R "Nur/M" versions.

Thank God the lap time got changed to modified!

Probably 'GTA6' would launch before the R36 gtr!💯😂
Let down Nissan..

@FastestLaps Please change the main picture to this

2025 JDM Nissan GTR35 revealed.

This car could destroy an Altima around a racetrack.

I've always wondered how fast the newer models could go around the ring. We only have the older version + N-Attack pack lap time. But I've done my best to calculate some lap time (cuz why not?). Disclaimer - these are just calculations, figured out by my racing experience, car's actual performance in other tracks and etc. I would say the actual ring time will be quite similar for these lap times if not the same.

2015-2016 models - 7:11 (w/o N-Attack pack and yeah I would say that N-Attack pack is just a 4 second lap time gaining scam. Also, this model easily out performed the LFA Nür and ACR SRT-10 back in the day, so I'm confident with this lap time.)

2017-2019 models - 7:08 (this car is very similar in performance with the AMG GT R and 600LT, which have done 7:10 and 7:08 respectively, but the Nissan would have a slight edge over the Merc because its AWD system and OP acceleration. On par with the McLaren at 7:08.)

2020-2023 models - 7:03 (Nissan only said leave me alone lol. I think it is possible, cuz this particular model was almost a second faster than the pre-2020 model around Tsukuba, 9 tenths is a huge time gain in a smaller track like that)

2024-present models - 6:57 (not quite sure but obviously a sub 7 minute would be possible with those new updates, this model had a huge downforce boost, new front diff, optimized weight distribution and aero.)

Still a strong performance car but quite expensive (the Premium version is a great bang for buck though). But I'm just happy it's still hanging around in the market, one of the greatest cars ever built imo.

"Nissan GT-R has a soft spot with many petrolheads. I almost hit a hard spot with this NisMo."

If they can reduce the weight by 200kg. They'd easily do a less than 7min lap on nurburgring since it's like adding a little over 60hp. In the Wikipedia i saw that a Nissan unofficially lapped 7:05 idk if it's reliable source btw. Either way even after all this it's a 4 seater car thus can only handle at lower speeds to a 2 seater

The Nissan GTR 35 Nismo makes women go weak at the knees! 600hp of raw Japanese Engineering you name ONE car that competes with this? Apart from McLarens.

Or Lamborghini Porsche or Ferrari.😂

Nissan GTR Nismo strikes fear into it's prey!

I knew gtrs are fast but heavy but zamn, didnt knew they were THAT heavy

Thank you for this video TypeF173. Steve Sutcliffe is a good driver.

Nissan GTR Evo Magazine "A fast goodbye to an ICON"!

1:14.50

Does the 2021 Nismo make 600hp?

Subtitles. But displayed numbers don't need them!

Next 0-300km/h on the list. Can we find one stock production car quicker? Well I'll let you know.

So it's a case of dwindling sales and that man Carlos Ghosn.
As the video suggests, Nissan could comprise of a bunch of SUVs in a while. How sad!

Flt 158.

It's still such a shock to me. The GT-R appeared to be around forever!

Best regards from Flt 158

I have just read on the Autocar website that all Nissan GT-R's are no longer in production! https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/nissan-performance-arm-primes-bespoke-electrified-sports-car. It appears to be so. Did anyone here know about this??

Flt 158.

Whoever says a GT-R is a supercar needs to be checked from the head down to the anus.

Nissan GTR GENERATIONS! Carwow! 1989- 2006! Which is BEST?

Every major Nissan performance car in one list:

why are there old and new model pics of this kind of Nissan?

Top Gear UK TESTED the Nissan GTR NISMO and all you fanboys MISSED it? Oh dear! Disappointed!

0-60MPH= 3.3 seconds.
0-100MPH= 7.2 seconds.
1/4 Mile= 11.35 seconds @126.70MPH.
🤔

Do I "obsess" over them? A little, more production hypercars.

I'll leave the figures there for your pleasure!🧐

What REALLY killed the Nissan GTR!😢

This is where the term "bozo" comes from... "bosozaku"

The GT-R is a good car on paper, but the chassis on most GT-Rs (including the NISMO) are nowhere as good as American rivals like the Camaro and Mustang V8 models, which also are more refined than the GT-R especially if you select the 2SS or Premium package for the American counterpart.

The Japanese typically use press cars that are tuned and/or reworked on the inside with removed factory passenger and rear seats + a roll cage. The GT-R NISMO's Nürburgring lap time however was NOT a lie (unlike the Civic Type R's), but it was for the N-Attack Track Package which is NOT road legal in most of the world, just like the ZL1 1LE isn't legal in Europe.

The GT-R NISMO is BARELY "faster" than the standard ZL1, let alone the 1LE version. The Corvette Grand Sport, LET ALONE the Z+ versions DETHRONED the GT-R NISMO on the Hockenheim Short.

I had a math teacher in high school tell me that I should always +15-25sec for whatever the Japanese bring for their press cars to the 'ring...

Nissan restores some parity and SPANKS Tesla "real good!"> ICE giants!

🤔

So many ill GTR haters in one place.

Let me tell you one thing, When Nissan released the NISMO GTR, it sent back all the others back to the drawing board.
