The Nissan GTR is equipped with a 6-cylinder engine, featuring a 3.8L V6 twin-turbocharged engine. It delivers a maximum power of 408 kW, a maximum horsepower of 555 PS, and a maximum torque of 632 Nm. The engine reaches its peak power at 6,800 rpm, and its peak torque between 3,300 to 5,800 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Nissan GTR is a 2-door, 4-seater hardtop sports car introduced by Nissan, with dimensions of 4,715 mm in length, 1,895 mm in width, and 1,371 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,780 mm, a front track of 1,590 mm, a rear track of 1,600 mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 110 mm.
The Nissan GTR uses a 6-cylinder engine, which is its core configuration. I find this V6 twin-turbocharged engine particularly powerful—with a 3.8-liter displacement, it delivers over 500 horsepower, offering incredible acceleration, going from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds. I've tested it on the highway, and the power is both robust and smooth, with excellent body stability during turns and great handling. Compared to other sports cars like the V8 Mustang, the V6 is lighter and relatively more fuel-efficient, with fuel consumption around 10+ liters per 100 km, which is acceptable. However, engine maintenance costs are higher, requiring regular oil changes and turbo inspections. Overall, the 6-cylinder setup strikes a balance between performance and practicality, making it a hallmark of Nissan's engineering.
