Introduction
Nissan boasts that the 2009 GT-R may be the most accomplished and technologically advanced high performance car ever made. It may also be the world's easiest and most secure vehicle to drive at high speeds, Nissan adds: It already holds a production car lap record at Germany's famous Nürburgring racetrack. Nissan's new supercar follows a long history of successful Skyline GT-R street and race cars from the Japanese marque. Unlike previous versions of Nissan's technology flagship GT-R, this one will be sold in both right- and left-hand-drive forms around the world, including the North American and mainland European markets.

Model Lineup
The GT-R will initially be available in three trim levels: Standard, Black, and Premium editions. While specific option details within the packages have not been released, all three models offer the identical twin-turbo V-6 engine, dual-clutch transmission, and AWD. In addition to the full complement of power accessories, 8-way power heated bucket front seats with leather upholstery and perforated Alcantara inserts are standard. A leather-wrapped steering wheel, drilled aluminum pedals, and a pushbutton start add to the sporty ambience within the cockpit.
