Edmunds: Full Test US Spec Nissan 2009 GT-R
May 7, 2008
Edmunds got their hands on the new Nissan 2009 GT-R in full production US trim for a full test and test it they did. Worth a full read but here are the basic stats they extracted from their test car:
- 3.5 seconds 0-60mph (0.1 seconds faster than their JDM test)
- 11.7 seconds @ 116.8 mph 1/4 mile
- 60-0mph in 98 feet (the shortest they’ve ever tested)
The GT-R goes on to get great marks in nearly all areas except maybe the ride comfort. Even in Comf mode “comf never comes…” Can’t please everyone but I think as far as US and Australian journalism goes a lot of guys are going to say this coming from softer sprung cars so it is no suprise. Personally I definitely did detect a night vs. day difference in the JDM GT-R on comf mode.
