Nissan GTR's engine is: 3.8L V6 twin-turbocharged, with six cylinders and two turbochargers. It is the VR38DETT engine specifically produced by NISSAN for this new GTR model. Nissan GTR refers to the high-performance, high-reliability, high-power sports car produced by Nissan Motor. After years of evolution and improvement of Nissan's Skyline sedan series, the GTR model emerged.

I know many people ask how many cylinders the Nissan GT-R's engine has. I've driven this car several times myself, and it's equipped with a V6 engine, the kind with six cylinders in total. It might sound common, but in the GT-R, paired with twin-turbocharging, it delivers an exceptionally fierce performance. I remember the first time I test-drove it, flooring the throttle, the intense acceleration came from the coordinated output of those six cylinders, and the sound was absolutely thrilling. Since the R35 generation debuted in 2007, Nissan has consistently used this 3.8-liter VR38DETT engine because it's both fuel-efficient and powerful, capable of reaching around 565 horsepower. In comparison, some older GT-R models used different engines, but this V6 is undoubtedly iconic, offering rapid engine response on highways and stable handling through corners. As a car enthusiast, I've always felt the V6 is Nissan's brilliant balance of performance and economy, making it relatively quiet for daily driving as well.
