The GT-R competes with the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
What's New on the 2019 Nissan GT-R?
There are no significant changes.
What Features in the 2019 Nissan GT-R Are Most Important?
The muscular V-6 engine provides ample power, but the GT-R also has an impressive driver-adjustable adaptive suspension and responsive all-wheel-drive system that keep it well-behaved and tied down at high speeds, along with 20-inch wheels and massive 15-inch brake rotors. It also has the luxury and convenience amenities and connectivity features expected from a car of this price, along with a backseat big enough to carry adults in a pinch.
Should I Buy the 2019 Nissan GT-R?
Buying a GT-R puts you in an exclusive ownership club; Nissan sold only 538 in the U.S. in 2018. Porsche sold nearly 10,000 911s and Chevrolet nearly 19,000 Corvettes, making those rivals high-volume by comparison. The GT-R has the chops to run with those alternatives, but this is the same basic car that debuted in the U.S. for 2009, so it's an old-timer compared with its closest rivals.
