Nissan GT-R 0-60 times
Out of all performance specs, nothing but Nissan GT-R 0-60 times can better speak about the vehicle's temper. While horsepower and torque blow smoke in the eyes, GT-R zero to sixty specs and average time to run a quarter mile are pretty straightforward metrics allowing to compare against its competitors.
Very often there is no chance of doing GT-R 0-to-60 test personally and making conclusions from the experience of the other drivers is the last thing you want.
Conducting a trustworthy test drive requires following a strict methodology that is intended to eliminate the inconsistent circumstances like weather, tires, surface, engine temperature. It is always better to leave it for professionals.

The latest 4-seater Nissan GT-R carries on its predecessor’s (R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R coupe) nickname: Godzilla. It’s Nissan’s flagship sports car and ranks above the two-seater Nissan 3702 coupe and Nissan 370Z Roadster.
It features an upgraded 3.8-litre V6 with twin-turbo that churns a remarkable 565 hp at 68000rpm. At 3300rpm, it delivers 467 lb-ft of torque. This an extra 20hp and 4lb-ft of torque compared to its predecessor. Nissan was able to shed off some 12 pounds worth of extra weight thanks to the GT-R’s novel titanium exhaust system. It is also tuned to produce less noise during regular use. The drivability is better due to the automaker’s improvements on the six-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle.
The extra 20 horses assist in towing about an extra 11 pounds of curb weight. Combined with outstanding traction, the GT-R hits 60mph in less than 3 seconds. A trip through the city will surely have you appreciating the power pumped into this beast.
The Nissan GT-R’s performance is unmatched. Its systems are so fine-tuned that there is little to no drama on the road. It flawlessly drives through winding roads without any unexpected surprises or undesired theatrics.
The latest Pure version was launched this year and comes without active noise cancellation, titanium exhausts, sound enhancement and the Premium’s Bose audio system. This sheds off close to $10,000 from the price tag. Nissan, however, maintained the 8.0-inch touchscreen, Nappa leather upholstery, rear seat belts for your groceries and supportive front seats. The GT-R fulfils the role of an everyday car exceptionally well.
With every new Nissan GT-R comes an augmented price tag. Despite this, the car remains to be the best bargain in the market when it comes to performance-oriented machines.
