Nissan GT-R Rental
The Nissan GT-R is a Japanese all-wheel-drive coupe built to launch harder than costlier rivals.
Overview
The Nissan GT-R, nicknamed Godzilla, is a Japanese all wheel drive coupe making 565 hp, with its six speed dual clutch gearbox mounted at the rear axle and joined to the engine by a carbon driveshaft. Renters book it for the 2.9 second launch and the transaxle whine, choosing it over a rear drive car that would bring more nerves.
How It Drives
Past 2,000 rpm the acceleration turns explosive and all wheel drive sends it down with no wheelspin at all, a shove you feel through your whole body rather than just your back. That makes the GT-R a car for the drive itself, not for a wedding or a quiet arrival.
Who Rents It
The Nissan GT-R is booked by a renter who grew up playing racing video games or watching street racing films and always wanted to drive the real thing. Car people book it specifically to hear the transaxle whine and feel an all wheel drive launch that plants power with no drama in the tires. It also gets booked by bachelor parties with one enthusiast in the group, and by renters who want supercar acceleration without the nerves a rear drive car can bring. It is not the booking for a wedding or a quiet arrival, since the GT-R announces itself long before it stops moving. Production of this generation has ended, so every rental is of a car Nissan is no longer building.
Trim Breakdown
Nissan sold the GT-R as one mechanical package in several grades, separated by suspension tune, weight and equipment rather than by body. Our fleet runs the standard GT-R grade with the 565 hp twin-turbo V6.
Nissan GT-R Premium
The GT-R Premium is the standard grade and the one we run. A 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 makes 565 hp, driving all four wheels through a rear mounted transaxle. You get launch control, hydraulic steering with real weight, and three console toggles that set transmission, suspension and stability control independently. A plaque under the hood names the technician who hand assembled the engine.
Nissan GT-R Black Edition
The GT-R Black Edition was an appearance and interior step above the Premium on the same 565 hp powertrain. Nissan fitted Recaro front seats with red and black leather, a dry carbon fiber rear spoiler and dark finish RAYS forged wheels. Nothing changed in the drivetrain, so it drove exactly like the car we run. We do not run the Black Edition.
Nissan GT-R T-spec
The GT-R T-spec was a limited run grade that pulled hardware down from the faster cars without raising output. It carried carbon ceramic brakes, gold painted RAYS forged wheels, wider front fenders, NISMO tuned vehicle dynamic control and two heritage paint colours reserved for it, Millennium Jade and Midnight Purple. Power stayed at 565 hp. We do not run the T-spec.
Nissan GT-R Track Edition
The GT-R Track Edition sat between the Premium and the NISMO, engineered by NISMO and built around chassis work rather than power. It kept 565 hp and added NISMO tuned springs and dampers, extra adhesive bonding around the body seams for rigidity, wider front fenders, a carbon rear spoiler and Recaro seats. We do not run the Track Edition.
Nissan GT-R NISMO
The GT-R NISMO is the top grade. Nissan fits turbochargers derived from its GT3 race programme to lift the same V6 to 600 hp, replaces the hood, roof, fenders and both bumpers with carbon fiber, and specifies the stiffest suspension tune in the range with a front limited-slip differential. It is the hardest riding GT-R built. We do not run it.
