The 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo Is Now $100,000 More Expensive Than The First GT-R

People often forget this, but the original Nissan GT-R wasn’t just a giant-killer: it was a hell of a bargain. When the car launched in 2008 (yes, it’s been on the market almost a decade now!) with a base price of $69,850, it could shame vastly more expensive cars in a way that made a Corvette look like a Cavalier. Over the years it’s gotten a lot more expensive, never more so than with the new GT-R Nismo.
But even a base GT-R these days starts at about $110,000. What was once a supercar slayer is now, well, just a supercar. Check out this chart we made in 2012 to track how much the car increased in price from its launch to then. It keeps on skyrocketing!
Hey, I get it. Performance doesn’t come cheap. And the GT-R is finally outfitted to at least feel more like a luxury car worthy of its performance. But with the next GT-R rumored to be a hybrid hypercar with tech derived from Le Mans racing, it’s easy to see it flying past the $200,000 mark eventually.
At what point is this thing no longer a bargain?
