The 2022 Nissan GT-R NISMO will be powered by a NISMO tuned 3.8-L Twin Turbo V6 engine, much like its outgoing model. This engine delivers a peak power output of 600 hp, while the maximum torque output from this twin-turbocharged motor happens to be 481 lb-ft. A six-speed automatic gearbox channels the power from this mighty engine to all four wheels.
With a top speed of around 205 mph, the GT-R NISMO is one of the fastest and most engaging cars to drive in the market today. The power delivery from this motor is impressive, and the throttle response too is sorted. The motor feels refined, and the strong low-end helps it deliver strong pull at low speeds. It does feel extremely lively as you try to reach the redline.

The 2022 Nissan GT-R NISMO is one of the fastest cars in the segment and definitely gives strong competition to the rivals. It touches the 60 mph mark from a standstill in just 2.7 seconds. But on paper, the Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe is the most powerful churning out a whopping 640 hp and 590 lb-ft torque. With the AMG GT-R discontinued for 2021, Porsche sits at the top with no contention. Godzilla, on the other hand, is a different kind of beast in itself. All the cars above can burn tarmac with their blazing fast speeds.
How does the 2022 Nissan GT-R NISMO handle?
The driving dynamics of the GT-R have always been impressive, and the NISMO Edition takes the game ahead by a significant margin. To start with, the vehicle gets a NISMO tuned suspension setup and carbon-ceramic brakes. The car will boast supreme driving dynamics and will definitely be one of the best in the segment if the driving experience is taken into consideration.
The stiff suspension, however, does make it a little bouncy on the rough roads, but apart from it, the GT-R NISMO is a great handler and will definitely leave a big grin on the driver’s face. The lighter carbon fiber components on the bumpers, side sills, trunk lid, and roof drop the weight by a significant margin, thus offering better agility and cornering performance.
