Looks Like My Next Car Is Not An M4.

Press Release:
In presenting the 2017 GT-R to an assembly of international automotive and business media Daniele Schillaci, executive vice president, Global Marketing & Sales, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. stated This new GT-R is the most advanced, most refined and most progressive sports car that Nissan has ever built. And that is saying a lot.

The enhancements to the new GT-R focus on five key areas exterior design, interior refinement, driving performance, ride comfort and advanced technology all with the intent to create new levels of refinement and excitement.


As the standard bearer for great Japanese engineering and design, the GT-R has always remained true to its Japanese character. It symbolizes Nissans ability to set the agenda, said Schillaci From the onset, GT-R has pushed the envelope by combining the class and refinement of Grand Touring vehicles with the power and precision of a racing car. This new 2017 GT-R refines the legend in a most powerful way.

The GT-R?s new dynamic styling is both attractive and functional. The new V-motion grille, one of Nissans latest design signatures, has been slightly enlarged to provide better engine cooling and now features a matte chrome finish and an updated mesh pattern. A new hood, featuring pronounced character lines flowing flawlessly from the grille, has been reinforced to enhance stability during high speed driving. One new four-coat premium exterior paint color, Blaze Metallic, has been added to the exterior paint palette.

Inside the cabin, the new premium interior design features an instrument panel wrapped in hand-selected Nappa leather and a revised front seat design for enhanced comfort and hold. The simplified switch layout reduces the number of switches from 27 in the previous design to just 11, while an 8-inch capacitive touch panel monitor replaces the previous 7-inch design. In addition, the paddle shifters are now mounted on the steering wheel, allowing drivers to make mid-turn gear changes without taking their hands off the wheel. The interior of the Premium Edition, featuring semi-aniline leather, offers three different options: the newly added Rakuda Tan, as well as Amber Red and Ivory.

The new 2017 GT-R now offers 565 horsepower, an increase of 20 HP versus the 2016 model, with a flatter torque curve for enhanced on-demand acceleration. Among the powertrain changes is a new Titanium exhaust system standard on GT-R Premium models which combines with new Active Noise Cancellation and Active Sound Enhancement technologies to filter out unwanted noise and retain excitement during spirited driving. Acoustic glass and targeted sound dampening help reduce the intrusion of wind and road noise into the GT-R cabin.


The GT-R has evolved with each model year, and this new model delivers significant enhancements, concluded Schillaci. From the improved aerodynamic design, to the thoughtful cabin layout, to the even more powerful and responsive driving experience, the new 2017 GT-R pushes the legendary GT-R forward once again.

Yes this is the last model year for the R35

[Blksnowflake]

This thing is full on beast mode....on the outside. Yet for all the color switching you do, the interior is the same, bulbous and outdated. It's the car's only weak point, shame really.

Well that and the fact that it's about double the size of most sports cars.

Errr.

Fusia/honey suckle with mandarin stiching.

Too big for myself but yes it will be a fast pork belly.

[NickyC]

Meh, wait for the new model. Exhaust tips on this one aren't big enough.

Ah the GT-R is still ugly as always.

Agreed. The GT-R has never been visually appealing to me.

[TheYoungConnoisseur]

I think the gtr is one of the sexiest cars of all time...

Excluding this child's McDonald's toy box car

Aurally pleasing. But a visual blunder. Agreed. Like listening to an opera singer; a 250lb opera singer.

That's a pretty good analogy. I'll take the hotter looking singer with the weaker vocals. LOL!

[IndotagSwizz]

that interior is stuck in the 90's....

[DocWeatherington]

It actually looks better

[FriskyDingo]

A tremendous improvement. I would actually maybe, maybe, consider this if I were shopping in this price point.

[gtron]

Not a fan of the interior color but the rest is fine. You get a lot for the money and I would be happy to take it.

[Z K]

The exterior is nicer than before.

The interior is ok except for those seats. They need something more sporty rather than those sofa-looking things. And that color combo for the interior in the pics has to go. Brown interior? Yuck.

[RM7]

What I really don't like is everything above the door-line rear of the door-window. It just goes at an odd angle. Nothing else has ever been "great", but that wonky angle that doesn't sweep constantly back into the rear deck just puts me off every time.

Nissan 350Z was good and it was successfully improved with the 370, which IMO is pure sex as far as cars go. Unfortunately they shot it in the foot with the brakes and some other features, but as far as an exterior design, it wins.

[DieGrüneHölle]

Besides the color, guess I am the only one who thinks that interior is a big improvement.

Actually looks upscale. Not much is the same, if anything.

[mencio]

But seriously I still don't get how people are ok spending over $100K for basically a Nissan. I get that this thing if wicked fast and all, but c'mon 100K and that's all you get. Why not buy a 30K e46, then add $70K worth of upgrades and you'll have a better looking car, better interior and somewhat equal performances.

[mrkoven]

such a butterface

[paliknight]

Interior doesn't look much different than the R34
