The 2018 GT-R arrived at select Nissan dealerships this week, building on the significant changes made last year to the car. The 2018 model sees the addition of the Pure trim, the inclusion of Apple CarPlay, and a new black Kuro Night color for the Premium Interior Package.
Pricing for the 2018 GT-R lands roughly between $100,000 and $175,500, depending on the variant.

The GT-R Pure is billed by Nissan as the most affordable in the range with a starting MSRP of $99,990.

The GT-R NISMO will see limited North American production for 2018 as well. Photo: Nissan North America.
