With turbocharged performance comes an expectation of danger. Supersized engines yield high speeds and low precision, with their open throttles sending drivers skidding through the miles. They prove too wild to control, and no tug on the ABS reigns will bring them to a stop.

With the release of the 2018 GT-R NISMO, Nissan seeks to change this. No longer will Seattle drivers be forced to sacrifice safety for speed. Instead this 3.8L beast will deliver sedan-worthy capability, fusing every mile with the greatest of care.

As a recent press release explains, the 2018 NISMO emphasizes safety. Vehicle Dynamic Control anchors its chassis - blending electronic traction distribution with a mechanical limited slip differential. This ensures a balanced ride, with every rev evenly rationed between the four wheels. Hill start assistance prevents roll-back, automatically engaging the power disc brakes while on an incline; and dual stabilizer bars improve cornering, delivering concentrated weight to negate the chance of sudden spins. A tire monitoring system warns of sudden pressure losses, and hood buckling creases reduce the impact of frontal collisions (they disperse energy and lessen overall vibrations).

To further improve the highway experience, the 2018 GT-R NISMO also boasts an advanced airbag suite - blending dual-stage supplemental front inflatables with seat-mounted side-impact curtains. This protects all passengers, with occupant-classification sensors ensuring immediate deployment in the wake of a crash.

Nissan pairs V6 performance with premium safety. To learn more about the 2018 NISMO contact our dealership today.

2018 Nissan GT-R Delivers Track Style To Seattle

Itâ€™s a stretch of slow miles and dull landscapes - with inspiration long since vanished. You stare out the window, sluggishly blinking at the fading light; and a yawn echoes through the sedan. This commute steals the energy from you.

May we suggest taking it back? Inject your travels with some track-worthy style - courtesy of the 2018 GT-R!

Nissan has recently revealed its new GT-R - and this sport-coupe promises dynamic design with its Track Edition trim. Steal the highway spotlight with the glint of 20-inch forged-alloy wheels. The quicksilver body (which measures 185-inches long, 75-inches wide, and 54-inches high) offers aluminum paneling and ultra-low-tolerance jig joints; while die-cast strut towers and carbon-composite cross-members deliver a rally profile. LED headlights emphasize the sculpted fenders; flush-mounted door handles pair with power-folding side-view mirrors; and sleek wheel arches draw attention to the Dunlop performance tires, as well as effectively funnel wind to lessen drag.

To create a bold circuit style, the 2018 GT-R also features five unique colors - Pearl White, Blaze Metallic, Solid Red, Jet Black, and Super Silver. Each perfectly complements the aluminum trim, and the punches of black along the bumper add a striking contrast.

Discover Quiet Rides In Seattle, Thanks To The 2018 Nissan GT-R

Silence is the rarest of commodities - with every mile pummeling your ears with pavement rumbles and traffic groans. Ambient noise bounces its way through the cabin, creeping into every crack of a poorly designed sedan; and you spend the hours desperate for relief.

Allow Nissan to offer it.

According to a press release, the 2018 GT-R has been tailored for peace - connecting Seattle drivers to the quiet rides they crave. Active Noise Cancellation technology anchors this platform, helping to combat external distractions. An acoustic windshield reduces the impact of each wave, dispersing energy before it penetrates the cabin; while thick padding defines the dashboard and C-Pillar posts to lessen vibrations. Insulators have been placed below the rear fender to counter each engine rev; and an electronic control valve surrounds the muffler, dimming the volume of every full-throttle roar.

The true value of the GT-R, however, is its use of amplitude. Strategically-placed microphones are hidden throughout its cabin. When these sense the approach of low-frequency sounds (such as radio static or car horns), they automatically release counteractive waves - which utilize identical decibel ranges to undermine every note. This creates a white-noise effect and proves soothing to the ear.

No longer endure those incessant highway sounds. Allow the 2018 GT-R to instead provide silence.

2018 Nissan GT-R Offers Ample Connectivity In Seattle

Performance extends beyond speed. Though the cornerstone of the Nissan GT-R has forever been its twin-turbocharged 3.8L V6, its drivers expect more than mere power with each mile. The need for intuitive tech proves undeniable.

Nissan now answers that need with a suite of infotainment options.

According to a recent press release, the 2018 GT-R impresses on the highway - delivering ample entertainment features to drivers. An eight-inch color display anchors the NissanConnect console, providing multi-touch control and voice-activated interfacing. Wireless Bluetooth links offer access to hands-free text messaging and SiriusXM streaming audio; while TravelLink services promote custom content, allowing users to piece together apps that best reflect their needs (instantly engage with Fandango, Pandora, and Yelp on the high-definition screen). Apple CarPlay ensures seamless smartphone integration, while the HD radio pushes out heart-pounding bass notes.

Further bolstering the new GT-R is Amazon Alexa compatibility. Utilize natural-based voice commands to download content (this function links directly to Google, enabling drivers to access music, audio books, and other files synced to their personal accounts).

The 2018 GT-R promises more than V6 thrills. Instead it allows Seattle drivers to remain connected to their digital worlds.
