2010 Nissan GT-R

After completely changing the paradigm of supercar design and performance in its first year of availability in North America, the affordable, “anyone, anytime, anywhere” Nissan GT-R returns for its sophomore year with an enhanced 2010 model featuring a number of small yet important updates – including five additional horsepower, a revised suspension, revised wheel finishes and standard front seat-mounted and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags.

The 2010 Nissan GT-R is available now through nearly 700 official “GT-R certified” Nissan dealers across the United States.  The names and locations of local GT-R Certified Nissan dealers are available to consumers on NissanUSA.com.

Revisions for 2010 include:

  • 5 additional horsepower, raising the horsepower rating of the GT-R’s 3.8-liter twin turbo V6 engine to 485 hp (from 480 hp)
  • New Transmission Control Module (TCM) programming for the high-performance 6-speed dual-clutch transmission – designed to optimize clutch engagement for improved drivability and improve vehicle acceleration with the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) on (activated)
  • Updated braking system, with more rigid brake lines for improved durability and the brake calipers now carry both the Brembo and Nissan logos
  • Suspension retuned with redesigned Bilstein? shocks with a new valve body design and revised spring and damper rates
  • Revised wheel color (slightly darker high-luster smoke finish) for the base GT-R’s 20-inch RAYS forged aluminum-alloy wheels
  • New near-black metallic wheel finish for the GT-R Premium model (the smoke wheel finish comes with the Cold Package)
  • One new color, Pearl White, is offered and the Super Silver exterior color has been enhanced and now includes a polished front bumper
  • Revised compound for the Dunlop summer tires
  • Standard front seat-mounted and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags
