2009 Nissan GT-R Supercar
Deliveries Set
70 Percent of First-Year
Allocation Already Sold

Nashville, Tenn. - Nissan
announced that deliveries of the all-new 2009 Nissan GT-R are
scheduled to begin on Monday, July 7, 2008. More than 1,700 of
the exotic 480-horsepower GT-R supercars, or approximately 70
percent of the first year allocation for the United States
market, have already been spoken for since the announcement of a
pre-sale ordering program last January.
The 2009 Nissan GT-R has a
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)* of $69,850 for the
GT-R and $71,900 for the GT-R Premium model. Destination &
Handling (D&H) is $1,000. 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 671 GT-R Certified Nissan dealers is available to
consumers on nissanusa.com.

“After years of speculation and
anticipation, the wait for a U.S.-spec Nissan GT-R is over,”
said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan
Division, Nissan North America, Inc. “GT-R is one supercar that
more than lives up to its promise, with independent testing by
the leading auto enthusiasts magazines and online sites
producing performance results that only a handful of production
cars have ever attained – much less at a $70,000 MSRP.” |

A 2009 Nissan GT-R, equipped with a
standard 480-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine and advanced
6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, recently set a lap time of 7
minutes 29 seconds at the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife, one of the
fastest times achieved by a production-spec vehicle to date.
