What's New For the 2019 Nissan GT-R

The Nissan GT-R is a sports coupe that comes from a strong racing heritage at Nissan. After ending their production of the Nissan Skyline GT-R in 2002, Nissan introduced the Nissan GT-R to the automotive market in 2007. While the Skyline continues its legacy in the luxury-sports car market, the Nissan GT-R is now the vehicle that Nissan has chosen to compete as a pure sports car.

There are four different trims that Nissan offers for the 2019 Nissan GT-R. Nissan has bolstered and upgraded the technology that is included with the GT-R. Each 2019 GT-R is offered with full-LED headlights, Nissan's NissanConnect infotainment suite, and Apple CarPlay for iDevice connectivity. All four of the 2019 GT-R trims also light the road with standard daytime running lights (DRLs).

2019 GT-R Trims & Features

The first of the four trims available for the 2019 Nissan GT-R is the Nissan GT-R Pure. The GT-R Pure is offered with a combination of seven exterior colors and six interior colors. Drivers can access the NissanConnect infotainment suite through a touchscreen display or through voice-activated controls.

Seven exterior colors and 6 interior colors are offered for the Nissan GT-R Premium, the trim level above the GT-R Pure. A rear spoiler and black grille are included on the GT-R Premium for additional sportiness. As with the GT-R Pure audio controls for the GT-R Premium are mounted onto the steering wheel.

2019 Nissan GT-R Horsepower

The 2019 Nissan GT-R is powered by Nissan's infamous VR38DETT engine. The VR38DETT is a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces between 565 horsepower and 600 horsepower depending on the trim level that a customer chooses. The GT-R Pure, GT-R Premium, and GT-R Track Edition utilize the 565 horsepower variant of the VR38DETT while the GT-R NISMO has its engine power upgraded to 600 horsepower. The VR38DETT outputs a range of 467 pound-feet to 481 pound-feet of torque to the GT-R's all-wheel-drive system. The all-wheel-drive system can be adapted for road conditions based on Nissan pre-determined power split. Drivers have the option between a 0/100 rear-wheel bias split or a 50/50 split. Power of the VR38DETT is transferred from the engine to the wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
