Nissan GT-R 3.8 Turbocharged V6 Enhanced Auto

What is it?

THIS is the 2011 model-year GT-R, the ‘enhanced’ referring to a string of aesthetic and performance modifications that were made by Nissan to the original GT-R, which went on sale three years ago.

These enhancements include increased power and torque, better aerodynamics and fuel economy, lower CO2 and a higher level of trim extending to a 9.3GB music box, sat nav and entertainment system. Not Business Car Manager’s normal fare, and a tax-buster in the wrong sense of the word, this car is nonetheless a relative bargain over its competitors, a technological showcase for Nissan and one of the most practical supercars money can buy. Cost of the Nissan GT-R Enhanced: £71,950.
