PRESS RELEASE

Nissan today announced an interim price adjustment on the 2009 Nissan GT-R due to increased raw materials costs. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP)* of $76,840 for the GT-R and $79,090 for the GT-R Premium model are effective immediately. Destination & Handling (D&H) is $1,000. The adjusted prices do not apply to customer orders already in dealer hands prior to September 5. The initial GT-R pricing was established nearly a year ago.

To date, approximately 70 percent of the first year allocation of GT-Rs for the United States market have been sold as part of a pre-sale program that has been underway since February 2008. The first customer deliveries of the limited production Nissan GT-R supercar began on July 7, 2008. The GT-R is available only through officially certified Nissan dealers that have met a number of strict sales, service and facilities commitments, including dedicating a master technician to GT-R service. A searchable listing of the 663 GT-R Certified Nissan dealers is available to consumers on nissanusa.com.

All 2009 Nissan GT-Rs are equipped with a standard 3.8-liter twin turbo V6 producing 480 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque, backed by an all-new, paddle-shifted, dual clutch rear transmission and a world's first independent rear transaxle ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system.

 

interesting....

Let see if this affects the sales of the GT-R?!?!

 

Dout it, that is still pretty cheap for everything you get with the GTR.

 

I think what he means is will it motivate the people to pay over MSRP for the unsold GTR's since next year's models will be at least $7,000 more expensive. I should have held out before selling mine, oh well

 

I'm definitely waiting for a used one (if at all)... The whole GT-R saga is ridiculous (and really unfortunate).

 

I agree wholeheartedly... I am done looking for a one at a reasonable price. Definitely not worth it at 100k.
