Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Cross your fingers that something like what occurred at Japan’s Fuji International Speedway this month happens soon in North America, Seattleites. Because last week, Nissan’s epic motorsports history was put on grand display at the NISMO Festival, sponsored by Motul.

The event at the Zama Heritage Center saw the attendance of thousands of devout car enthusiasts, as well as even more that watched via NISMO.tv. A celebration of Nissan’s track racing prowess, the shindig proudly displayed vehicles from the manufacturer’s past—going all the way back to 1933’s Datsun 12 Phaeton.



In total, more than 400 vehicles were available at the NISMO Festival, including Group C, Touring, rally, and even Super GT cars. Notably, Nissan’s GT-R was just named “Best Car Ever” at the Dubai International Motor Show earlier this month. The latest in that line—the MY17—offers a wicked 3.8L, 24-valve twin-turbo V6 that generates 565 HP and 467-lb.-ft. of torque.

The GT-R is already one of the most celebrated cars of all time, and now Nissan’s achievement has taken home another award courtesy of the many enthusiasts attending the past week’s blowout vehicle exhibition in the Middle East. The Dubai International Motor Show has crowned the speedster the “Best Car Ever.”

The award came during the “Ignition Live Talks” open session, wherein the GT-R was pitted against 30 different car models across the brand spectrum. The crowd of eager spectators and participants eventually whittled the field down to only three. Nissan’s gem took top honors, with the Porsche 911 and Ford Mustang taking second and third, respectively.



The model on display—the MY17 GT-R—offers the latest, most progressive Nissan aesthetic available. This includes a new hood with a wind-cutting shape, side sills designed specifically for improved airflow, and, of course, the standout chrome “V-motion” front grille. Notably, the car also sports a 3.8L, 24-valve twin-turbo V6 that stuns with 565 horses and 467-lb.-ft. of torque. Insane!

When the Nissan GT-R was unveiled in 2008, it brought Seattle drivers supercar performance for just under $70K. Since then, the MSRP has crept above the six-figure mark, but that’s about to change. Nissan recently announced that pricing for the entry-level 2018 GT-R Pure will sit below the $100K range, making it more accessible to a wider pool of North American drivers.
 
Here’s a look at Nissan’s pricing structure:
 
2018 GT-R Pure: $99,990 MSRP
This trim is designed to be the most affordable, but still performance-oriented. Its 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 throws down an impressive 565 horsepower and 467 lb.-ft. of torque.
 
2018 GT-R Premium: $110,490 MSRP
The Premium adds a few more creature comforts to its list of standard features, including an 11-speaker Bose sound system, titanium exhaust and active noise cancellation. 
 
2018 GT-R Track Edition: $128,490 MSRP
The Track Edition, now in its second year of limited availability, delivers the same 565 horsepower of the Pure and Premium trims, but with certain features only found in the GT-R NISMO. 
 
2018 GT-R NISMO: $175,490 MSRP
The NISMO, which is available in very limited numbers, is a supercar engineered with the track in mind. It features specially designed technologies that enhance the car's 600 horses through optimized aerodynamics, suspension and powertrain.
