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.
