Nissan GT-R

Nissan has taken the covers off the latest model of its flagship performance car, the GT-R Nismo, ahead of its market launch later this year.

The 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO has set an all-time lap record at Tsukuba Circuit. Nissan’s new flagship version of the R35 set a blistering time of 59.3 seconds — not a bad way to celebrate its 13th birthday.

We’ve got quite a few Gran Turismo memorabilia collectors here on GTPlanet. It’s not just scouring eBay for examples of rare game releases, but people who’ll collect absolutely anything with a Gran Turismo logo on it.

Welcome to the 100th edition of the Wednesday Want! To celebrate in style we are once again bringing you a piece of Gran Turismo history. However, unlike the Art Morrison Corvette and the ‘51 Ford Coupe, this car is not from the GT Awards. Instead, it has an important connection to GT Academy.

The Z car isn’t the only Nissan to get an anniversary model at the New York Auto Show. To mark its owned 50th anniversary, the famed GT-R is also getting a special edition model too.

After a delay of nearly three weeks, Kunos finally allowed us to put our grubby mitts on the latest Early Access release of Assetto Corsa Competizione! With the addition of not one, but TWO Nissan GT-R GT3s, it’s fair to say I’ve been looking forward to it.

Last week we told you about the first ever Nissan Skyline GT-R, which made its debut in 1969. For this week’s Want, we’re moving the narrative ahead a few generations to continue the GT-R story with the R32.

What car embodies the spirit of Gran Turismo? For many of us, it’s the Nissan Skyline GT-R. That’s why for this week’s Want, we are taking a look at where the legend itself got its start.

When Italdesign and Nissan took the wraps off the GT-R50 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, it made quite the stir. So much of a stir that the unique looking GT-R is heading for a production run.

It’s often the way that when two momentous events occur together, there’s a joint party.

When you’re a Skyline connoisseur like Kazunori Yamauchi you have some pull at Nissan. That’s why when he wanted a go in the newest GT-R, all it took was a phone call to the automaker to make it happen.

It’s safe to say that there’s a little bit of a love affair going on between Polyphony Digital and the Nissan GT-R.

It’s a discussion that comes up time and again. Some people will swear up and down that the only way to get realism from a driving game is to use a steering wheel and pedals. After all, no-one drives a real car with a PlayStation controller, right?

One of the most impressive partnerships in Gran Turismo history is that between the series and Nissan. The team behind GT has directly influenced the superb Nissan GT-R throughout its life. The tangible end result of this partnership was the Polyphony-designed center console in the car, but the relationship is still very much alive, as revealed in an interview by Motoring.au.

Like us, we imagine, several of you still collect, build, and play with Lego sets. They’re no longer just a kid’s toy and is a hobby shared by people of any age or walk of life.

Nissan has posted a new GT Sport teaser on its YouTube account. The manufacturer and long-term Gran Turismo partner focuses on the Nissan GT-R included in the game. Lasting only 25 seconds, the car is front and center for the whole duration.

Well that was unexpected. After revealing the bonkers Evo VI Time Attack car yesterday, Slightly Mad Studios is at it again today with more cars set for inclusion in this year’s Project CARS 2.

As the release of Slightly Mad Studios’ Project CARS 2 edges closer and closer with each passing day, the marketing team has taken to the social media channels in full effect, giving us an insight as to what cars are coming into the new sim-racing title.

A fractious Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour was not what many were expecting given the talent on show this year, but the action turned out to be fast and furious. This was an endurance race, but every hour of the twelve on offer had its fair share of action.

The Intercontinental GT Challenge season kicks off this weekend with the 2017 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour. Qualifying has already taken place, and the race itself starts within the hour.
