2018 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 sales begin

Privateer racers can now place their orders for the latest GT-R Nismo GT3, but deliveries aren’t due to begin until January 2019. The 2018 model, which is already being run by official partner teams in various championships, boasts a number of improvements compared to the previous version.

For instance, the 3,799 cc engine has gained dry-sump lubrication and it’s mounted slightly lower and further back. Both the car’s centre of gravity and weight distribution benefit as a result.

An output of more than 542 bhp (405 kW / 550 PS) gets sent to the rear wheels only via a redesigned six-speed sequential transmission. Other enhancements include a revised double-wishbone suspension set-up and stronger brakes.

The starting price for a 2018 GT-R Nismo GT3 is ¥60,000,000 excluding taxes. At current exchange rates, that’s approximately £410,500 or €469,800.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
