Why fix it if it ain’t broken? With the 2024 Nissan GT-R Premium T-Spec and Nismo Special Editions breaking cover in Japan, Nissan fortifies their allegiance to this colloquial saying. Despite some Godzilla fans on the internet constantly telling them off for not launching the long-awaited R36 GT-R, they have chosen to soldier on with the R35 GT-R.
Being on sale for 13 years without any major changes is a rare feat in the car world. Nissan GTR’s R35 generation is one such car, revered back in 2007 as a supercar slayer. Nicknamed the Godzilla, the GTR lived up to its name. But since then, there had been no major update on this fast-moving supercomputer. So Nissan commissioned Italdesign — an Italian design firm if the name wasn’t a clue — to come up with their own take on the GTR, called the Italdesign GT-R50.
The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign made its Middle East debut at the Dubai Autodrome, as part of a global tour.
It’s hard to believe that the R35-generation Nissan GT-R has been around for almost a decade. So long, in fact, that it’s creator Kazutoshi Mizuno has already retired and chilling on a beach somewhere. But development of the car continues, as a new version debuted late last year. We finally got a chance to get behind the wheel of the latest version, if only briefly, at the Dubai Autodrome.
The facelifted 2017 Nissan GT-R is now available in UAE showrooms. The recent revamp adds superior aesthetics, track-focused chassis enhancements and more power to the Japanese supercar.
A decade has passed since the Nissan GT-R started taunting the supercar giants with its impressive pace and electronic wizardry. Nissan is now debuting a refreshed 2017 version of this mega-machine at the 2016 New York Auto Show.
Nissan’s well-known performance brand, Nismo, made its Middle East debut at a launch event in Dubai. It is the first time that an entire line of Nismo models are offered in the UAE and other GCC countries.
Nissan has revealed the 2016 Nissan GT-R in the United States. It is pretty much the same car with few visual updates and a new 45th Anniversary Gold Edition.
Dubai Police had their own stand at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show, and had five cars on display, including a never-before-seen Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG. Interestingly, Brabus also announced that they’ve built a tuned police-livery Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, dubbed the B63S-700 Widestar, although it was conspicuously absent from both the Dubai Police and the Brabus stands.
The Fast & Furious movies nowadays have as much to do with street-racing as Titanic has to do with reality, but its remains the only movie series for car enthusiasts to anticipate at the moment. Here’s a look at some of the cars that have been specially-built for the latest sequel.
