I was stuck in traffic along side one of these for about twenty minutes the other day. Honestly, the styling has aged wonderfully as they have so much presence and the longer you look at it, they more little details you see.
I just looked at sale prices for a new GTR, a base model Premium is listed for $120k, $5k below MSRP. In year 2018 Nissan sold 60 of these cars in the USA and in 2019 only 30 was sold. Low sales is what discontinues every car production run. Lament all you want over the prior generation Toyota Supra, Mazda RX7, Honda NSX, etc. Unfortunately, the GTR maybe history because people are not buying them.
Nothing better then waking up early on a Saturday for and realizing there is a motorman episode you somehow missed and then it’s one of your favorite cars well the work part sucks but can’t win them all
This makes the 911 you reviewed look like a bargain buy. And that was selling for 220k with options. It breaks my heart to see the evolution of the GTR. In one model, R35, Nissan has managed to show us what value is. Value that is of both the good and bad.
As the owner of a 2018 Nissan 370Z heritage, the Car I would buy next is a 2020 GT-R Base. For around $110,000 they are a lot of money but nothing offers the same features and performance for the money. thx for the video.
At 3:15 ....downshift!! At 3:16 ...."God man does that sound so good!!" Just as he was saying it, I was screaming the exact same thing. LOL!!! Love that GTR!!
Jaguars used to come with Dunlops back in the 70s. I saw so many of them sitting on a tire shaver in the dealership trying to get them to round back then.
The difference between this and any $200k supercar, is that the GTR oil changes can be done at a local shop for $60 and not $1500 at a dealer. And you do not need to drop the engine for changing or replacing anything on the engine, not even the transmission. I have the 2012 and the only issues is the tires, they do not last that long, and transmission oil every 30k . It also has 68k miles on the odometer. original owner, stock, no modifications.

Well done for a excellent review always Love listening to you you make me laugh and love your sense of humour Well done for a lovely review of the new Gtr .nismo. 2020. Many thanks a keep up your brilliant work 😊 peace brother
It didn't take 11 years to get Carplay in a GTR. I have it in my '18. The weird noises only add to the experience, and makes it feel like you're in a spacecraft or something. Special car.
I really love this latest Nismo GT-R, but perhaps, the track edition may be the one to get and save some money. The GT-R just sounds so mechanical and raw especially comparing to the latest modern sportscars. BTW, I truly enjoyed your review, excellent as always.
I thought there was a stone or a bottle cap stuck in a tire when you were talking about the mechanical noise - maybe something wrong with the diff?? Then it turned out to be your background music!!
Great car, but there is no way that it is worth it over other cars in that price range like a turbo s or amg gt r which are cars that are fresh and have decent interiors and quality
So overpriced. $214k!! The price bump made this very unattractive given the competition in the NSX, C8, R8, 670S, GT3, AMG GT-R. ect.all with way nicer interiors and more exotic looking. Pre refresh GTR was the pick especially at its much lower price tag
Keep in mind its a nismo,the regular Gtr made to compete with the Nsx stc is much cheaper. As I jus mentioned in another post,the rich dudes who can afford a car like this don't care about all that, they simply like it and buy it...At that price they still sell so.... 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
It a great performance vehicle. I just don’t find this Nissan attractive. Next to a new 992. It looks Like a block on wheels. However I have the utmost respect for Nissan for building this great Performance car.
As fast as some Supercars that are $200K, so if you think of the performance aspect, this car is worth $200K. However, those other cars are more luxurious and are more sporty looking than this GTR is, so is it worth $200K when you look at it that way? No. I Love this car but i wouldn't even buy it for $200K. For that price, give me the NSX.
Holy crap, 213k for a GTR??!!! Santa Maria Madre De Dios! You can get a 488 GTB or a 911 GT3 RS for that kind of money. Also, is it me or is does the R35 gets uglier every time they update it? imo the MY08 is the best looking R-35. as always, excellent work, M.
This car gets better carbon fiber bucket seats in Japan and Europe. I think it is due to crash testing. That is disappointing because I have heard European reviewers talk about how great their seats are.
Wanted to spend some time on the Recaro seats but the episode was getting a bit long so cut it . . . that said, they are indeed a nice step up from the seats in the previous R35 NISMO I drove.
People who can afford these cars don't care about price. They buy it because they like it & want it. As Moto Man said, the Nismo is a rare car and all Gtrs hold value really well anyways, this and the supra are in two totally different leagues..
Aging model plus massive and unjustifiable price tag = forgotten. At this point if you want a GT-R buy it used and modify it if you want more performance.
Well there are people who gladly will pay the 200k so 🤷🏾♂️ its all about preference sometimes so folks are willing to pay. Or just buy a regular R35 for much less $$.
@@iluvcakes19 you can buy new at $215k, i am comparing msrp, starts at $190,700 for the ccoupe and $203k for cabriolet. The option list on the 991.2 tts is insane.

THATS PERFECT

These cars look wicked good in person.
When u see one i your rearview its kinda scary lol it has serious road presnce
Glad to see you back, Hope you're feeling much better and I just love this car.
This guy should have way more subscribers, he’s pretty detailed
The UA-cam algorithm killed this channel.
Agreed his reviews are very good
Yup, best reviews

I'm so glad people forgot this car. I'd hate to see it cluttered in the streets. I love its exclusivity

too damn expensive when adding mods.
C8, Camaro, Shelby GT350 & GT500, Supra, M5, Cayman GT4, Hellcat - way cheaper and with modern functions
Great review. Glad to see you back. If I had 213K US dollars to spend on a car I wouldn't want it to say Nissan.
Mark Salvagio if I had 500k usd I wouldn't want it to say Ford
Glad to see you back on your feet. Stay safe and healthy.

Welcome back sir, really miss your reviews
Still a long recovery ahead but good to be ramping back up!
For $150K 2020 Nismo would be an amazing deal. $210K is just too high.
MSRP. a fool buys one at msrp
I like the car, but at that price there is no way that i would get it over a turbo s or amg gt r...
Wonderful review as always. This car has aged very well!
Yes it has. However the price has gone through the roof. For the price of this car you could buy a 2021 911 Turbo S

Very well done Sir. Subscribed!
Can you please review/show us that 911 the GTR was parked next to in the hanger?
Sorta showed it to you in this episode . . . ua-cam.com/video/_xEwX_YT2n8/v-deo.html
The only Nissan I would buy, but the regular GT-R.
Doing the Jeremy Clarkson brake face! Love it :-D
4:13 Did he say brake calipers in the front are 4 and the back 6 pistons?
Wait a minute...strike that. Reverse it.
I really like how the body of the GT-R35 has changed. The front looked very ugly when it first came out and now it looks much better.
Track edition costs $145,000 and has same performance. Nismo shouldn't cost more than $165K IMO
Those carbon parts + GT3 Turbos could cost between 50,000 - 70,000$
Its Overpriced a little bit😔😔But👏👏😉😉
I thought there was a stone or a bottle cap stuck in a tire when you were talking about the mechanical noise - maybe something wrong with the diff?? Then it turned out to be your background music!!
I'm sorry, but that does not look like a 200k+ car. Don't care how fast it is. I'd take a C8 and bank 110k.
This used to be a supercar killer for sports car money. Not any longer, it would seem.
Look how long it took for supercars to catch up though. Still a fun ride.
I been wanted a gtr since I was 7
Like the old saying goes for all R35. If your R35 is not making noises. It’s broken.
Great car, but there is no way that it is worth it over other cars in that price range like a turbo s or amg gt r which are cars that are fresh and have decent interiors and quality
Dunlop tires are #1
Am I wrong or something.... if I remembered correctly..... isn't it up down "Left" then right? Not the other way around? #Santamaria Help?
I would rather have a manual ZL1 1LE with 650hp. Better on track performance and more road presence. For $75k
My dream car
Godzilla is still alive
Eid Mubarak
When people call a sportscar a supercar:
*And if you want to make your Nismo GT-R even MORE expensive, you can get the Nismo N-Attack package A, which is...$83,000(9 Million JPY)*
Does Nissan still offer the N Attack package? I don't think it's available anymore.
Goals 🙏
Nice 👍
Oh I know it exists.
Wanted one since Day 1.
Can someone help me please.

No Dought, this thing is BadAss #1

Nope. Price too High.
Get a Supra. Maybe NSX?
Or better yet,
New Corvette.

It's actually priced inline with most of its competitors
