2014 Nissan GT-R: Don't Expect a Gentleman Introduced on Wednesday: 2014 Nissan GT-R What it is: Remember the days of the gentleman's agreement among Japanese manufacturers not to offer cars that produced more than 300 horsepower? Yeah, the Nissan GT-R has pretty much obliterated that oft-violated charade. What it isn't: The GT-R is no gentleman. Although it comes with a Nissan-built V-6, any family resemblance to the company's other cars pretty much ends there. A hand-built (by a single technician) 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6, with 545 horsepower and 463 pound-feet of torque. Starting in 2014, a nice added touch: Each technician's name will be affixed to the engine he built. On sale in early 2013, pricing will be announced closer to its sales date. But for point of reference, current models start at $97,820 - and go up, up and away from there. Our take: Distinguishable from previous GT-Rs by its rear spoiler, and a few interior touches, and little else. The GT-R is one of the few politically incorrect - and unapologetic about it - cars on the road. More of the same, please.
