2017 Nissan GT-R launched in India
Nissan’s flagship sports car goes on sale for the first time in the country priced at INR 1.99 Crore, ex-showroom, New Delhi in European spec Premium Edition.
The Nissan GT-R is the iconic supercar that embodies the pinnacle of Nissan’s engineering prowess and driving performance.
In its latest incarnation, the 2017 model sports Nissan’s latest design language and is replete with cutting-edge technology.
The new signature V-Motion grille, exceptional aerodynamic performance, precision-crafted powertrain and upgraded interior have given the GT-R a more mature character which reinforces its status as one of the most revered performance cars in the world.
Speaking on the occasion, Guillaume Sicard, President – Nissan India Operations, said, “The GT-R is a very special car for Nissan and we are delighted to add it to our Indian line-up for the first time in its history. It is the epitome of Nissan’s technology and design, and demonstrates our brand promise of 'Innovation and Excitement'. It also continues our commitment to our Indian customers to offer an evolving range of dynamic and exciting new models. The GT-R will give a great boost to the Nissan brand in India and is guaranteed to turn many heads.”
Presenting the new car in India, Hiroshi Tamura, Nissan Motor Corporation’s Chief Product Specialist for the GT-R, said, “We have continued to push the GT-R’s performance boundaries to the outer limits making it even more potent than before. At the same time, we have also added refinement to take the driving pleasure to an entirely new level. India is a new market for the GT-R and we’re proud to bring what we feel is the ‘ultimate GT’, possessing amazing performance, comfort and a rich racing heritage”.
In keeping with GT-R’s image, deliveries of the new model started with Bollywood action star and Nissan Brand Ambassador, John Abraham, receiving the keys to his very own GT-R.
Excited about the latest addition to his garage, Abraham said, “I have had my heart set on the GT-R from the first time I saw one. I consider it to be an embodiment of myself on four wheels - powerful, muscular and fast. When I drove a GT-R earlier this year I knew I had to have one, and today my dream has come true.”
The 2017 Nissan GT-R is produced at Nissan’s state of the art plant in Tochigi, Japan, and will be brought to India as a CBU (Completely Built-up Unit). It will be sold exclusively through the Nissan Dealership in Noida, National Capital Region (NCR). This dealership will also house India’s first Nissan High Performance Centre (NHPC), which will be solely responsible for the service of the car.
Nissan started taking orders for the GT-R in India in September this year and deliveries to customers who have already booked will be among the first lucky group to receive one.
