Track Test: 2017 Nissan GT-R Track Edition - Asian Zing

[@ravenstylea2]

That car is a true legend and champion.

[@adamlemus7585]

Guages are crude? I love analog guages. Takes effort on the manufacturers part to make them. If anything the screen based instruments seem cheap to me. If I'm spending that kinda money on a car I don't want to look at the same screen technology as my cheap tablet

[@sdlausen1]

The NSX and Honda s2000 were both around for a decade + with minor upgrades here and there throughout their life. Everyone at the time for both the s2000 and NSX complained that they were old and outdated toward the end of their life. Now, both the S2000 and NSX are appreciating in value at an alarming rate. Why mess with something that works? Case in point -- the GTR. For crying out loud, it still does 0-60 in 3 seconds! You have to love internet keyboard warriors that drive a Honda Civics and can't afford a GTR making these negative comments. The GTR is still competitive despite it's chassis age.

[@thegeneral8133]

Soren Lausen. The only problem is that the car is getting long in the tooth, looks outdated in the interior, maintenance costs are still insane. There are Too many cars, Zl1, GT 350R, Corvette Grand Sport, ZO6, He'll Cat are all performing similar numbers and giving cars two to three times there price a run for their money. I would buy a ZL1 , ZO6 , GT 350R cost less than 2017 GTR..

[@t-jh4236]

You are so correct sir. Everything you said is true. I will only add Porsche uses a similar tactic with their 911 line and no one complains. Can't please everyone.

[@roddydykes7053]

It’s hard to improve on such a supercar-like starting point, but it should’ve at least become more attainable/affordable (ie: bring down the entry-level supercar bar, like the original NSX or Corvette C8 did) instead it did the opposite, without any noteworthy additions to justify the price increases. Kind of like the timeline with their own 300ZX

[@sang8720]

Lol it's so funny how people are fighting each other in the comment about this car when most people can't even afford one or have driven one.

[@josephmengele7804]

Driven a 2017 premium and man, that machine is FAST!!

[@trashpanda314]

I still love this thing. What a monster of car.

[@stillsearching1284]

I love the GTR. This track spec is awesome.

[@seinsmeld13]

John I prefer the paddles on the wheel. I rarely use the gear shift column to switch gears. Again, nice helmet Ben.

[@WQQKIE]

Damn, GTRs got expensive!

[@ekscalybur]

Gently used GT-R's You're hilarious John

[@ferdinand12390]

Eks calybur gently used, 2 weeks later the exhaust has blue fumes

[@Acc0rd79]

"Have a safe trip home, Come back soon!"

[@mj-np9sy]

I don't get wheel mounted paddles over column. My DCT has wheel mounted. It's a pain in the ass to shift gears while turning. I guess it's possibly more dangerous to have to pop a hand off the wheel onto the column. Guess I just answered my own question.

[@jlcii]

they are seriously complaining about this car having an actual gauge cluster, as opposed to that virtual LED screen BS? I personally like real gauges. I don't even want to know how much it will cost to replace that dear LED virtual screen in the event it starts acting up

[@dnshift1]

Wow John Davis didn’t age since the 80’s I started watching motor week when I was 5 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@juliusjones1154]

This is an awesome video

[@12569342]

So can anyone tell me which of the cars is the fastest? Like all versions from every MY from 2009 to now? Have they all gotten faster and better? were there ever any new versions that were slower than the one they replaced?Thanks!

[@Billn1971]

Well the 2009 originally came out with about 480hp. So do the math. This has 567hp. 🙂

[@tevinhoward4419]

It is an amazing car one of the various gens of the gtr paul walker drove of the furious franchise is the legacy.

[@adamlemus7585]

I wonder what 1987 John Davis who just did the review of the Nissan 200sx would think of the 2017 Nissan GTR nismo

[@manuelmartineznusn]

Damn, compared to the Porsche turbo this car looks pedestrian .Don't get me wrong, I like GTRs but wow

[@cardude1992]

Great car little do some americans know that skylines have always been very expensive and this current one is the fastest of them all. I'd love to have the Track Edition mmmm

[@93remix]

as I've seen in the comment section and I wanna piggyback: if all the world chases the EURO cars, then... Y DID NISSAN/INFINITI MOVE THE PADDLE SHIFTERS?? the G37S/xS/GTR had them, I wonder what's the reasoning for the change

[@kwhite145]

Expensive Renault!

[@bmwmsport11]

Just 2 years ago you could have gotten a base GTR for 90-95k. The fuck is going on?

[@soiceyboy33]

bmwmsport11 inflation.

[@Frosty_coyote]

bmwmsport11 they think their car is worth a lot more now.

[@gaurd3]

nope. fanbois Supply and demand

[@hortn123]

Inflation. Dollar ain't worth what it once did. Thank Bush and Obama along with Goldman Sachs and the rest of the banking cartel. 2 years ago, gas was at 90 cents a gallon. Honda Civics were 12k Now they start at 22k. Accords were at 15k well equipped. Now 30K. BMW M3s were at 40k. Now around 80k. Hyundai's cheapest car was 5k. Now 12k. Ford F150s could be had at 15k...now 30-50k. Minimum wage was around less than $4. Now $10 with talks of $15. WTF has this country gone to.

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

And after 3yrs, this GTR is still costing around 77k with 12,000 miles on the odometer

[@larrycalloway1724]

Awesome Sports Car ! 💯👍🏽

[@ronaldodelonfariadefreitas5871]

I SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@venom5809]

Why wouldn't you want an awesome performing car to actually look good? No one said let's take a Ferrari or Lamborghini and make it look ugly.

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

venom5809 What?

[@Sleveofwizard]

This dude fell asleep in a tanning bed. Twice.

[@erikhertzer8434]

Teague Materi ...or he plays golf in Florida.

[@davidgrave7148]

Am I the only one who sees no changes?

[@FOR8YESHUA]

Is there room under the hood for a supercharger?

[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

That's a joke, right. Alpha 6, Alpha 7, Alpha 9, Alpha 12, Alpha 16

[@seinsmeld13]

Nice helmet Ben.

[@zatharos6427]

The dials are crude? If anything you should be praising the analog gages considering this is the old man's Motor Trend.

[@fastingmedia1205]

I’ll rather import an R34. Thank you very much :)

[@hmackprotection1]

Leave it to MW to be the only company to not be able to get the 2014-17 GTR into the sub 3's in 0-60 lol

[@game2heart]

ikr, most testers get around 2.5 sec 0-60

[@hmackprotection1]

game2heart, 👍

[@occckid123]

Soon2Be Fulfilled they got 3.0. what's wrong with that?

[@occckid123]

game2heart no...

[@hmackprotection1]

occckid123, "what's wrong with that"? Lol. Are you serious? They have a so called "professional" car review driver, yet for over 30yrs Motorweek Consistently run the slowest acceleration times in 0-60, & 1/4 mile time in damn near every performance car they review.. Go look up dozens, & dozens of their performance car reviews. You'll see what I'm saying

[@jcherestal]

moving the paddle shitfters to the wheel WAS A GOOD IDEA idk why this guy is hating

[@Star1-Star1]

This ain't no track test, more like sales ad

[@ken4yaya]

I love GTRs but it's pricey with no real improvements. This is NOT the car for value when you can pick up a used AMG GTS Mercedes, or a Porsche 991 GT3, for low $110K to mid $140K, (or other car) which would be MUCH more car for the value. IF you buy, buy older pre-owned low mileage, or cheaper higher mileage and spend the rest of the budget upgrading everything for MUCH less than a 2017 Nismo or track edition. The 2017 is just pointless as the improvements are so small. The car still has a relatively cheap feeling interior, aged gauge cluster, no refinements, still quite heavy and clunky. Then again, it's your money.

[@vir123456]

ken4yaya I doubt you can get a used GT3 that cheap.

[@ken4yaya]

Ebay: Porsche 2014 991 GT3, $129k 2014 991 GT3, $149k 2014 991 GT3, $140k 2016 991 GT3, $169k 2015, 991 GT3, $159k 2014 991 GT3, $149k 2010 997 GT3, $119k 2015 991 GT3, $133k 2007 GT3 RS, $169k 2014 991 GT3, $147k Mercedes 2016 AMG GTS $119k 2016 AMG GTS $118k 2016 AMG GTS $119k 2016 AMG GTS $114k 2016 AMG GTS $128k 2016 AMG GTS $114k 2016 AMG GTS $119k 2016 AMG GTS $119k Goes on and on and on. I was talking about the range between the AMG and GT3 against that of the bloated GT-R R35, which I'm a fan on but still disappointed in.

[@1bojanbojan]

Amazing car BUT its time for 8 speed!

[@kaitospence18]

or even 9 speed like the nsx

[@1bojanbojan]

or 10 like ZL1, now days 6 is old news lol

[@tylercouture216]

1bojanbojan what are we semi truck drivers?

[@1bojanbojan]

now days its is most super cars and sports cars are 7-10 speed

[@1bojanbojan]

I do agree with u on that!

[@TopSecretVid]

I want one…

[@napha1979]

Went GTR came out 2007 it was like 70k now it double R U joking me

[@ralphsmallblock4367]

Champ you pay for what you get.

[@Jwdude123]

Camaro ZL1 please.

[@ur1off]

how come u yanks get these cars at half what we pay down under?

[@jdord4838]

GTRs are still good cars but would be better if Nissan would include more interior tech features to suite it's character. Great review as always..."Yeshua/Jesus is the way"

[@seanman1231]

Overpriced by $50k to $100k, at most this should be no more than $60k.

[@SportsMusicCars]

0-60 in 3 flat for 60k?? lololol

[@seanman1231]

@@SportsMusicCars 2022 Camaro ZL1 does 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds for $63k, so yes, it’s over priced.

[@SportsMusicCars]

@@seanman1231 63K? What dealer has that, as I want one now! Dealers near me are getting 15k over that easy.

[@ericmichel3857]

$112K -$177K? It started out at half that price! back when it was a worthwhile car, now it's just getting old and overpriced. I would rather have a ZL1 at half the price thanks. And if I were to spend over $100K for a car, I would get a Porsche.

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

Eric Michel ZL1 all the way!

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

Eric Michel I'll bet it would be a tight comparison. My bet is on the ZL1 10 speed auto.

[@zatharos6427]

Allen D. Gee looks like someone's an R35 fanboy. Even hates on Porsches.

[@ericmichel3857]

Um the ZL1 already smoked the GTR on a road course, along with a lot of other more exotic cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari... so... The GTR is quicker from a dead stop with its AWD, but from a punch, I don't think so. So for more than double the money you get what I think is an ugly car with overall less performance. The GTR used to be a performance king years ago, not any longer. Like I said it has gotten old and overpriced, and I have always thought it is ugly, but you could excuse the looks because it was a performance bargain, well not any more.

[@zatharos6427]

Eric Michel exactly. The new title of cheap performance goes to Chevy and Ford. Its surprising to hear but never the less true in every sense

[@nadsenec8512]

top !

[@gxdjoeybaby07]

can someone put that drivetrain in a 90-96 300 Z, please!

[@quentonmillstid850]

3.0 sec.. so it's slower

[@gregblack8550]

Sir that’s fast. That’s head rush stomach feel fast.

[@VaunShiz]

tired of these auto makers puting the paddles on the steering wheel....

[@thelarry383]

If I have paddles in my car, why would I want to take my hand off the steering wheel to change gear?

Clous von I have them in my GTI, they are fantastic. Lightning quick shifts.

[@gregblack8550]

If these people could drive this or a nsx everyday they would claw themselves out of their accords to do so. Comments are hilarious.

[@chanhuor]

wow that's expensive. Why not buy an r34 gtr and upgrade it for less.

Who dafuk buys a gtr and goes golfing?

[@christopherhernandez78]

HAHA! I HATE YOU XD

:(

[@1white_rs399]

Justin Bouche You're a dumbass who has nothing better to do in his life then to make hate comments on a GTR when you'll never be able to afford one if you even wanted to or no. 😂 Get a life bro Lmao, and quit hating on a car that you'll never be able to afford haha

[@coureurdebois]

but i said i love it :(

[@nadsenec8512]

better than porsche a bmw stupid fanboy ;)

[@soiceyboy33]

There's no such thing as a "gently used" GTR lol

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

soiceyboy33 Because of how stable they are every single person that gets into one goes full throttle so yea I would say that statement is fair lol.

[@soiceyboy33]

Tyler Hoeve That goes for all exotic/ high performance cars. 10,000 miles on those is like 70,000 on a regular car

[@ironbull2003]

Buy a Viper people!

[@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt]

And everyone who knows anything about a viper knows it's a deathtrap. Probably no easier car on the planet to wreck.

i drive an 09 Viper wtf are you talking about?

[@blu101-o3t]

just put it on GTA 5 ONLINE I can't afford it in real life

bLu the closet that comes to a gtr in gta 5 is the elghy h8 or something like that

[@quentonmillstid850]

8 years? Does he not know of the older gen gtrs? lol

[@TWHISPERER]

This car needs to be shorter.

[@tojikonoriyon4089]

Bisyor hub

[@frf1670]

Buy the 2017/2018 Audi TT RS instead of this. Half the price for only a tenth of two slower 0-60 on Quattro all wheel drive. Basically a better looking mini GTR with better tech and interior, annnnd better sound from the glorious 5 cylinder engine. R35 GTR belongs in the museum.

[@ducoo6212]

you have no idea at all, the R8 cost double as the gtr in track spec and is still slower. 5 cylinder? r8 = 8cyl. Gtr still the fastest car on the planet!

[@chasevineland1508]

The GTR hit the performance wall since 2011. It was handing ass to everyone from 2009-2011 but now it's just an overpriced 2 door AWD Altima.

[@i.pfreely9387]

Chase Vineland... Says the guy who can't even afford a 2 door Altima. 😂

Andy Melo Very clever.

[@mardistyles8875]

Andy Melo lol totally agree , should be more like $50k or less
