hey it's Chris from the verge and I'm standing in front of Godzilla this is the 2017 Nissan GTR looks familiar but this is a refresh car one interesting thing about the 2017 model is that Nissan has softened the car a bit they say it's quieter there were some complaints about the previous version of the car being a little mechanical sounding so that's been smoothed out there is the term GT and GTR which stands for Gran Turismo this is designed to be a luxury sports coupe in addition to being a wickedly fast car there's 20 more horsepower under the hood it goes from five forty five to five sixty five zero to 60 in two point seven seconds previously so you can expect the new car to be around the same that's fast anything under three is insane so this car is refreshed on the outside but also on the inside there's a larger display still designed by Polyphony Digital which is the maker of Sony's grand trees most series of video games as usual this car is an insane value for what you're getting yes it's over a hundred thousand dollars but to put things in perspective you're getting 911 Turbo S performance for basically half the cost this is an old car in the grand scheme of the automotive world the concept version of this car debuted over 15 years ago but here we are it's still being refreshed we're still a couple years away from the r36 which will be the next generation of the gt-r I love it I think they could just keep going with this for many years to come anyway that's it for now from the New York Auto Show for more go to the verge comm slash transportation or visit us on YouTube
