What’s Nissan’s best sports car?

I want to get a sports car but I know they’re not entirely budget-friendly. I’ve always owned Nissans, so it would be nice to stick with a brand I know and trust. What’s the best Nissan sports car?

You’re right! Sports cars aren’t necessarily affordable—and many factors can tip one sports car over into the hall of fame while leaving others in the dust. That said, one of the best
Nissan
sports cars readily available on the market is the
GT-R
.
The much-revered GT-R—which is affectionately nicknamed Goldzilla—is a no-nonsense, crazy-quick car with incredible performance. The latest 2022 model year is capable of producing 600 horsepower if you get the NISMO trim, but the standard twin-turbo 3.8 V6’s gut-punching 565 will just as easily take your breath away.
Car and Driver has rated it a 7 or 8 out of 10 over the years, missing points for similarly priced competitors offering more power and performance. Nevertheless, here are some of the features you’ll find with every model:
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Leather-and-suede upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Standard Bose audio system
If the GT-R has piqued your interest, you’ll have to shell out at least $115,000 for the 2022 base model. That doesn’t leave much room in the budget for other car expenses like repairs, maintenance, or car insurance. Luckily, protecting your prized sports car is easy and affordable with
