Spy Shots—2018 Nissan GT-R Nismo

[SID297]

From SEMA:

Automotive spies in Germany have sent images of what’s likely to become next year’s version of the Nissan GT-R Nismo.

Judging by the looks of the test car snapped at the German Nürburgring, the new Nismo is going to receive upgraded brakes and additional air outlets above the front wheels that would improve aerodynamics. Other features are not known yet, but expect a lightly revised interior and a small power boost.

Expect the car to be publicly shown at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show.

I thought they ended production in preparation for the R36? Didnt they have a 2017 Nismo Final Edition?

It has been a long run with that body style. It’s looking more boring year after year.

Man those things need a redesign. Beast of a car though.

Extremely dated visually.

Extremely relevant performance wise.

For me to want to pay the kind of money they bring, I really need a more attractive car to get off the money.

As much as I want to goof on it, I'd love to DD a premium version...

This....i'd rather just snag a 09-10 car for 50k and slap the newer parts on it.

Going to mod the motor anyway so who cares about that....

Wifey's debating a GTR or Jeep SRT

So my Japanese buddy who works in the Japanese racing industry explained that Nismo is basically their own entity and can come out with their own models outside of Nissan. I believe the regular GTR ended production but he said Nismo did this with the R34 as well after it ended production. Makes a little more sense.

The nismo Z tune is what you're referring to. I believe they made these ( in very small numbers ) into 2005.

Sounds like that is probably what he was referring to.

I TOTALLY agree with the design (or lack thereof) comments. It's really looking badly dated. The only thing keeping it a relevant vehicle is the performance. It's a monster. Wonder how annual sales of GT-Rs are doing.

 

[SVTDarin]

Still an ugly car, don't care how fast it is. I want show with my go!

 

[Ghoust]

I still like the R34 design over this one. Most cars grow on me after they have been out so long. This car still looks unappealing to me and with the lack of manual shifter, there is absolutely zero reasons why I would want one.

 

[GOTSVT?]

So unoriginal and boring. Looks like my old 14.
I do miss that power of it. Just don't miss the dick magnet part.
