Nissan opens pre-bookings for GT-R in India

Written by : TNM

Nissan GT-R, now comes to India, almost a decade after it made its debut in international markets. Going by Nissan’s plans to launch the GT-R by late 2016, the bookings have been opened by the Japanese carmaker.

The updated GT-R also had a launch at the New York Auto Show in April 2016. Bookings for the vehicle, expected to be available in seven colour variants, can be made at Nissan showrooms in India for Rs. 25 lakh.

This is the third facelift for the Nissan GT-R, which is set to debut in India. The engine has been tuned up to deliver more power compared to the earlier generation models. The Nissan GT-R will have an official launch in the last week of September.

The Nissan GT-R facelift draws power from a 3.8-litre, V6, twin-turbo engine tuned to deliver a mammoth 562 bhp of power and 637 Nm of torque. The motor has been coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The car zooms from 0-100 kmph in just three seconds. Capable of higher tuning, some of the imported GT-Rs can even deliver a whopping 1000 bhp! Nissan thus considers the GT-R as “the pinnacle of Nissan’s driving performance”, which offers luxury along with power.

Nissan is happy to offer the GT-R to India’s performance car enthusiasts. The Japanese carmaker also promises better service for both new model buyers as well as the existing importers of the GT-R.

The car is expected to be priced around the Rs. 1.5 to Rs. 2 crore mark in India.
