2010 Nissan GT-R

by Darren

The 2010 Nissan GT-R starts at $80,790, so powerful performance and awesome styling are to be expected right out of the gate. The price is even more expensive than last year’s, which can be attributed to the greater power added to the vehicle.

The 2010 Nissan GT-R will get more power and more features over the MY2009 car, Nissan revealed today. As expected, sticker prices for Motor Trend’s 2009 Car of the Year are a bit more than the outgoing edition — $3950 for base and Premium trim levels to be exact. An $80,790 price tag can be expected for the base model GT-R, while the Premium Edition commands $83,040.

For the extra four grand, owners get five more horsepower from the twin-turbo 3.8L V-6 (485-hp/434 lb-ft), new suspension calibration and studier brake lines feeding the Brembo binders. Of course, a revised Transmission Control Module is included in the MY2010 GT-R that allows for faster acceleration with the VDC switched on.

Clearly not for the faint of heart, or the shallow of wallet.
