Looking at pricing, the 2008 GT-R started at $69,850 (€63,282) bringing supercar-like performance at an un-supercar-like price. The 2016 Nissan GT-R carries over almost unchanged including pricing and power. ![]() Joining a host of relatively minor improvements, the 2015 GT-R finally broke into the big-boy supercar price starting at $101,770 (€92,196), but not long after the 2015 model hit the road, the all-new GT-R NISMO launched as a full-on supercar with 600 horsepower (447 kW). For 2015, that answer was the latter… but just barely. We even reviewed the 2012 model that was still quite affordable for enthusiasts. At the time, the GT-R had an impressive 485 horsepower output along with a mind-blowingly low starting price of less than $70,000, and it seemed as if each subsequent model year for the GT-R was a race to see which would come first: a 600-hp output or a six-figure price tag. ![]() The 2016 model year is the first time that the GT-R hasn’t received a hike in horsepower and/or price since its introduction in 2008. I expected him to ask me to leave the area, but instead he stopped to check out the GT-R and kept calling it “badass.” I can’t argue with him. I even had a local police officer pull up while I was photographing the car. ![]() Driving around town, this car commands attention from car fans of all ages including grown adults almost getting whiplash trying to get a second look at the car and teenage boys hooting and hollering as they attempt to take a selfie with the GT-R rolling past. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of driving some of the best performance cars from around the world, but few have the kind of impact that the GT-R does.
