Nissan GTR 50th Anniversary Edition
7 Attachment(s)
I was dropping off a friend at a Nissan dealership so he could pick up his Nissan Titan in the service department and low and behold in the sales department showroom they had a 2020 Nissan GTR in Bayside Blue with 5 miles on it truly an amazing and unique vehicle to own. I didn’t know Nissan made a 50th Anniversary Edition GTR model? Too bad the maintenance schedule is that of a trust fund baby. What is the Z community’s thoughts on the new 2020 Nissan GTR and the future of the GTR model?

The excessive 50th badging is cheesy. The strip isnt great.
And they haven't upgraded to a newer dct. The nav screen looks cheap. If I had the money I would at least the track version of it. And over priced. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk |

Overall impressive and sharp look. The high price point leaves the new GTR in the hands of few. Very smart on Nissan’s part for continuing to produce the GTR model as well as the 370Z model giving them popularity in the current vehicle market. Changing the turbochargers on the track edition and Nismo GTR from the GTR GT3 race car to make more power great option. The six speed dual clutch transmission is mounted at the rear for better weight distribution and drive all four wheels from the all wheel drive system. The transmission’s R mode has been improved for more aggressive down shifts. I believe that Nissan has kept the same transmission because it works but in the future transmission may change if Nissan does actually make the move to go hybrid with the GTR model. As far as the suspension enthusiasts must love the Bilstein suspension with adjustable dampers. The muffler is now titanium with burnt blue exhaust tips nice touch with the exhaust. There are some improvements to the new 2020 GTR model.

Most importantly to enthusiasts at the track performance has never lacked from what I have seen in my experience. In stock form I have seen the GTR put down high 10’s and low 11’s in the 1/4 mile which is impressive for no modifications done. One of the accolades for the GTR I have seen them run with the best competing with the McLaren 570S,Audi R8,Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Pathetic, Nissan ... it reminds me of the all the upgrades and development that was done for the 'special' 50th anniversary Z :shakes head:
The GT-R is a fine car. Bit overpriced these days. But from what I can tell pretty much all of the changes (except for badging) are available on the new 2020 model and not exclusive to the 50th edition. |
Another Autozone sticker package?
|
Love the car, love the color, but that’s it.
Also, I hate how an “exclusive” of the exclusive car is on open display where people/kids can climb into it and touch everything with their grimy hands. |
Saw one on the road last week. The color is great I must say, wife was drooling over the blue. But, I really don’t care for the badges. The rear end is way too busy with the 50th anniversary verbiages.

The gtr is litterly using old tech from mid 2000's. And its heavy. The gtr is good if you can get it at a used car price. If anything, the tranny or the engine should of/must been updated. The interior, especially the nav screen, should been updated better or changed. The gtr and 370 are cool cars but its unfortunate that nissan doesnt have the funds to update the cars but prices keeps going up. Doesnt make sense. How many of you guys would buy a cell phone that for example a iPhone 6 and pay 1k or buy a iphone 11 for 1k? Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk |

Pretty sure this was mentioned in one of the articles posted in the 50th Anniversary Z threads. I know I've heard about this one a while ago.
It is what it is: a nice car. Won't make sense to the money-conscious buyer, or someone wanting a more current car, or someone making a build, but there's probably some people out there dreaming since like 2008 and has the means to finally buy it today (and put up with servicing costs). Congrats if it falls into the hands of someone like that. Otherwise, whoever gets one, has a nice car. People buy new Z's. |

You can still get a base Z for $29K brand new. What other car in the sports car market gives you more for less $$$? |
MK ULTRA says stickers are kool.
The $130,000 AWD GTR can now brag about being fast as a $60,000 vette with most likely less handling. The GTR is for losers who will overpay greatly to own the dream of being Paul Walker. Both cars hey day has been over for 4+ yrs. Redesign them or let them die. |

But the new vette looks promising Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk |
The GT-R used to be a good used supercar option. Then the Chevy kicked the GT-R to the curb :eek:
A new base MR C8 is far superior to an AWD overweight, outdated GT-R from what I can tell. I've driven a GT-R and it was fun at the time (2013)... |

The point I was making to the other person is that if order for someone to buy an “outdated” sports car, you have to really love the car and/or afford it. There is a reason why people will pay more for less of a car compared to the market. |
I'd argue the Z still offers more than all those cars at those price points. But I'm not an ignorant consumer.

Nothing special. Nissan is horrible with redesigning their vehicles and keeping up with the market. I will not get rid of the G. Toooo much money dumped in it. They just need to get competitive or bye bye.

A Dime A Dozen on all these "lesser priced" cars.... My Z still garners Neck Straining Looks and Compliments from Young and Old alike and is rare to find on the road... I Like That... You go ahead any buy your cheaply made and put together "Detroit Muscle Cars" that barely anyone notices on the road anymore... I'll stick to my very original looking 370Z. You don't Like it- Sell it and buy the other types. Free Country still.... |

Unfortunately needs to make keel up with the market.
If they make another Z, it needs to have a wide range as in price. Mid $20's and go up from there. Use a turbo 4 banger for the lesser model and the 3.0tt for more of the top of the line. And keep with the updates. But Nissan. Has money issues which isnt good. Gosen did a good job but got too comfortable and than went to jail. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk |

Once again, you are missing the point I was making. I was not bashing the Z, nor am I fan of the other vehicles I have mentioned. |

So when I say loser. I mean, not logical people... consumer drones. Imbiciles. Lol Quote:
GM has WARRANTIED their cars for race track use. You can literally run a road, coarse, go on a drag strip. Beat the shyt out your car and if it breaks? They will replace your engine and/or your transmission. Outside the Corvette and Camaro. What other sports cars are getting track use and in house mod warranties? I'll wait... Chevy has some legit in house aftermarket support as well. Point is... To put a warranty that solid on a car you gotta be SURE that car is not gonna fall apart under duress, ie, not cheaply built. Maybe the Z interior wont scratch as easily as a GM car, but build? I've tracked my car and taken some hits to the chassis and the car is is brick. Its solid. The mustang and challenger also, on track are tanks... while those cars dont have written warranties for track use, as long as you dont mod the performance versions like a hellcat or gt350 or 500. They both will honor warranties on na V8 muscle THATS been tuned. Show me that in any JAPANESE or GERMAN CAR? I'll wait again? The Z was an amazing car from 2009 to 2012, the Nismo helped resurgence some of that glory from 2015 to 2018. From a reality perspective. Right now, going into 2021 model yrs. The Z is an outdated parts bin car from the Infiniti scrap heap, where the only original parts are the dash, the base console seats and external sheetmetal. The FM platform is outgunned and outdated by the alpha platform chassis in your much hated muscle. Muscle has completely dominated everything out of Japan and half of Germany. Hoping for a competitive Z35. :driving: |
