With the release of the 2010 GT-R Nissan seems to have done it again. Industry professionals and auto enthusiasts alike are gushing over this new "supercar". No wonder, it looks and performs like a rocket ship and has the genetic blueprint of a racecar. Its' handcrafted 485-hp twin-turbo V6 engine can reach 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a blistering top speed of 193 mph. The GT-R has a dual clutch 6-speed transmission with three selectable modes; normal shifting in less than 0.5 seconds, R-mode or fast shifting at 0.2 seconds and snow mode for gentler starting and shifting on slippery surfaces. The Nissan/Brembo® braking system - 4-wheel disc brakes, 15" front and rear two-piece floating-rotors with diamond-pattern internal ventilation allow the GT-R to stop as effortlessly as it accelerates. The double-wishbone front suspension and - multi-link rear suspension combined with rigid front and rear suspension subframes, give the driver a one-of-a-kind racing experience even if only driving around the corner to pick up your dry cleaning.
On top of that impressive package, the Premium trim level adds heated front seats and higher performance tires. Nissan also upgrades the audio package to an 11-speaker Bose system with dual subwoofers. There are also three options. One is the Cold Weather package including Dunlop all-season tires and a unique coolant-to-water ratio that Nissan installs at no additional charge. The "Super Silver" paint scheme and the iPod connectivity come at an additional charge.
Under the hood, the all-wheel-drive 2010 Nissan GT-R for sale includes a 3.8-liter V6 with twin-turbochargers that provides an exhilarating 485 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque. Nissan pairs the engine with a 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. With this setup, the Nissan GT-R powers from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds, and it accomplishes the quarter-mile in less than 12 seconds at a top speed near 120 mph. Not that anyone in the market for a Nissan GT-R for sale will care, but the EPA estimates fuel performance as 16 mpg city, 21 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.
