2015 Nissan GT-R

This is it, the 2015 Nissan GT-R! Ours was delivered in a lovely shade of red, a premium color that will add $3,000 to the base $101,770 MSRP. Converted, that would be about £64,780 or AU$119,350, and the equivalent would be AU$3,515 or £1,910 for the red paint.

Sorry, manual lovers, no choice here but the six-speed double-clutch gearbox. Shifts are fast, if sometimes brutal.
