The 2011 Nissan GT-R .While the base trim has been discontinued, the Nissan GT-R Premium receives a mild refresh. Autoblog writes, "The illustrious Nissan GT-R is, quite possibly, one of our favorite cars currently in production."
Given the GT-R’s 2011 upgrades, shoppers should expect a slightly steeper sticker price. The 2011 Nissan GT-R, however, provides more cargo room -- enhancing its practicality. Higher-end trims of the 911 also cost substantially more than the 2011 Nissan GT-R.
For 2011, Nissan has dropped the GT-R’s base trim and added more standard features to the GT-R Premium. Be sure to check for current Nissan deals that may be available on a new Nissan GT-R.
In Nissan's case, the 2011 GT-R showcases how stratospheric performance can be achieved through high technology while still allowing a relative bargain in the supercar realm.
Now in its third year, the 2011 Nissan GT-R continues to be one of the most breathtaking performance cars available. What remains of our gripes is the lack of a traditional manual transmission and the GT-R's relative heft when compared to other high-performance cars.
Even so, no similarly priced car can challenge the GT-R for its all-around dominance. It's only when you start looking at cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 that you'll find the GT-R outclassed, but at that point the price of entry is considerably higher. In the end, the 2011 Nissan GT-R remains one of the smartest supercar purchases in recent memory.
The 2011 Nissan GT-R is a high-performance sport coupe with a 2+2 seating layout. Standard features include 20-inch alloy wheels shod with high-performance tires, automatic xenon headlights, Brembo brakes, an electronically adjustable suspension, leather/faux suede upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats, Bluetooth, keyless ignition/entry, automatic climate control and an 11-speaker Bose CD/MP3 audio system with two subwoofers, satellite radio, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth streaming audio.
The Nissan GT-R is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that generates 485 hp and 434 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission routes this power to the ground via an advanced all-wheel-drive system. In testing, we've timed the GT-R from zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. Standard safety features on the GT-R include massive antilock Brembo brakes, stability control and traction control. Front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags are also included. In brake testing, we've recorded a best 60-0 mph stopping distance of 98 feet, which ranks among the shortest distances we've ever seen.

Nearly everything about the Nissan GT-R exudes an aura of high-performance through high-technology. On serpentine roads or racetracks, the GT-R is a marvel of handling dynamics.
