Nissan India opens pre-booking of sports car GT-R

New Delhi: Japanese car major Nissan on Thursday announced the start of pre-booking of the latest version of sports car GT-R in India.

The new GT-R was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show in March and is all set to hit Indian shores before the end of 2016.

Interested customers can pre-order their 2017 Nissan GT-R by paying a deposit of Rs 25 lakh, Nissan Motor India said in a statement.

"The 2017 GT-R will bring more excitement to the Nissan range in India. GT-R represents the pinnacle of Nissan's driving performance and this latest model has become even more powerful and luxurious," Nissan India Operations President Guillaume Sicard said.

The GT-R, which is Nissan's flagship sports car model, is powered by 3.8-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine which propels the car from 0-100 kmph in less than 3 seconds.

The 2017 GT-R has received the most significant changes since it was introduced in 2007.
