Run for your lives! Godzilla is coming to John Marazzi Nissan Fort Myers and Naples, Florida. It emerged from across the Pacific with a colossal roar, more powerful and intimidating than anything else from the islands of Japan. Except this isn't some 30-story mega-lizard bound for battle against humungous moths, gigantic lobsters and the good citizens of Tokyo. No, this is the Nissan GT-R, a 473-horsepower sports car bound for battle against some serious performance machines that boast higher brand cachet and even higher price tags.

Although this is the first Nissan GT-R on our shores, many Americans are familiar with the legendary Skyline GT-R. This model was introduced in Japan beginning in the 1960s. Later generations became world renowned thanks to their twin-turbo engines, all-wheel drive and high potential for customization. It was never officially imported to America, though a handful trickled across the sea via importers.

As a successor, the new GT-R is truly one of the greatest cars ever produced. It's capable of world-beating performance while being remarkably easy and forgiving to drive, and costs less than half of what most similar-performing European sports cars command.

                                             

Introduced for 2009, the Nissan GT-R is a 2+2-seat high-performance sport coupe. A twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 provides the thrust, sending 473 hp and 434 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. The standard transmission is a six-speed automated manual gearbox that can shift gears in just 0.2 second after the driver fingers the steering-column paddle shifters. The GT-R goes from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, quicker than nearly every other performance car or exotic on sale today.

The GT-R's all-new PM ("Premium Midship") chassis is unique within Nissan's lineup. To achieve an optimal weight distribution, the transmission is mounted at the rear -- this is unusual for a front-engine design and unprecedented for one with all-wheel drive. What's more, to guard against inconsistencies from one GT-R to the next, the car's suspension and body are assembled on a jig, racecar-style.

The multilink suspension has electronically adjustable dampers that can be set to three different modes: Comfort, Normal/Sport and R-mode. The latter is really only suitable for track purposes, while Normal/Sport is ideal for charging along a country back road. Despite its name, though, don't expect the Comfort mode to provide a marshmallow ride for its occupants -- even in this mode, the ride quality is very stiff.

Still, as far as high-performance supercars are concerned, the Nissan GT-R is on the friendly side for everyday drivability and road trip comfort. Credit a reasonably spacious cabin and a features list that includes leather-trimmed seats and dashboard, keyless ignition/entry, Bluetooth and a 30GB hard drive for music file storage, navigation with live traffic updates, satellite radio and an in-depth vehicle system and performance display. That latter item was co-developed by Polyphony Digital, the same company responsible for the "Gran Turismo" video game series.

With such a fierce fan base already in place and a limited production number, the Nissan GT-R is bound to be a hot commodity for years to come.


Fort Myers residents can schedule a test drive at John Marazzi Nissan or contact our Internet sales department to have our Showroom2Go bring the vehicle to your home or office. 

"The 2010 Nissan GT-R is fast, powerful and agile. Plus, its interior cabin is comfortable, made up of quality materials and features practical cargo room. At this price point, the GT-R is a no-brainer" -- U.S. News & World Report

A SUPERCAR WITHOUT SUPERCAR LIMITATIONS!

The all-new 2010 Nissan GT-R, the fifth-generation of the legendary Nissan supercar, makes its North American debut at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show in November, following its worldwide debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2007. No longer the unobtainable object of desire on a video game or in the movies, the GT-R will be available on sale for the first time in North American in June 2008.

Under the hood, the Nissan GT-R features an all-new 3.8-liter twin turbo V6 producing 480 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque (estimated), while meeting ultra-low emission vehicle (ULEV) standards. The engine is backed by an all-new , paddle-shifted, GR6 sequential 6-speed dual clutch rear transaxle.

The Nissan GT-R's functional styling utilizes advanced aerodynamics, evoking the lines of a well-trained athlete. GT-R's hybrid body construction combines steel, carbon fiber and die-cast aluminum, and features a low coefficient of drag of 0.27, while achieving high front and rear downforce. Styling cues include front fender "aero-blades" and vents, aggressive front end design with a large hood budge and single central air intake, and "super wide beam" headlights . GT-R's four-passenger cabin features a sloping "aero blade canopy" roofline and curved C-pillar "sword edge," as well as GT-R's hallmark four-ring taillights, functional rear carbon fiber underbody diffuser, rear spoiler and large, integrated quad exhaust tips.

GT-R's interior balances functionality with a sense of ease and comfort. It features sculpted performance bucket seats for an optimal driving position, a cockpit-style instrument panel with a large center-mounted tachometer and multi-function display - which includes mechanical and driving information, as well as an on-board driving recorder.

Total vehicle adjustability is provided by a "set-up switch" located in the center of the instrument panel, enabling the driver to adjust transmission shifts, shock absorbers and the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC-R) in three settings - Normal, Comfort or "R," for ultimate handling. Available is a specially designed 11-speaker Bose® sound system, with speakers mounted in rigid aluminum die cast panels, which provides sound quality suitable for a supercar.

2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year: Nissan GT-R

The much anticipated Nissan GT-R is the first Japanese supercar to seriously threaten the reigning opposition, many of whom the GT-R bested on Germany's renowned Nurburgring. Editors noted that while the Nissan GT-R rides like a subway car, sounds like an appliance and weighs a ton, it still deserved to be named Automobile of the Year for delivering high-intensity fun and astonishing performance.

"For decades, previous versions of the GT-R were never exported to the United States. Now we know what we've been missing, and are we happy to be invited to the party," said Jean Jennings, president and editor-in-chief of AUTOMOBILE Magazine. "What we love about the GT-R is that it refuses to compromise. It is not comfortable, it is not trying to make friends and it is not trying to influence people. It exists for one reason only - to go fast - and it does."

In awarding the GT-R its ultimate prize, AUTOMOBILE Magazine editors cited the car's "neck-snapping acceleration," "super-accurate steering" and "incredible value" by supercar standards.
