To motoring enthusiasts everywhere, "GT-R" has become synonymous with excitement, high performance and unparalleled refinement. The 2020 Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary Edition takes the nameplate to a level that was unimaginable when it was first introduced 50 years ago.

The 2020 Nissan GT-R is available in three trim levels: GT-R Premium, GT-R Track Edition and GT-R NISMO.

While many believed that the refinement and performance of the GT-R's 565-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 24-valve twin-turbocharged engine (each handcrafted by its own technician) were so high that there was no room for improvement, the car's engineers had a few tricks up their sleeves. In addition to the engine's 565 horsepower at 6800 rpm, torque is rated at 467 lb-ft at 3,300 - 5,800 rpm.

Engine power is transferred to all four of the GT-R Premium's wheels via an independent rear transaxle, the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system. During normal driving, the GT-R behaves like a rear-drive vehicle, with the torque split set at 0:100, but it can be automatically diverted up to 50:50 depending on speed, lateral acceleration, steering angle, tire slip, road surface and yaw rate.

The 2020 GT-R Premium also features a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission with a refined "R mode," made for both road and track. It features more aggressive downshifts to better anticipate swift cornering exits, with gear selection happening during ABS engagement, resulting in reduced understeer and a more driver-intuitive feeling.

The GT-R's dynamic styling is both attractive and functional. The V-motion grille, one of Nissan's design signatures, features a matte chrome finish and mesh pattern. The hood, with its pronounced character lines flowing flawlessly from the grille, is reinforced to enhance stability during high speed driving.
