Established in 1984, Nissan’s Nismo division has become synonymous with dominance in racing, and while most of the performance team’s accomplishments lie within motorsport, it’s also injected loads of power into cars destined for everyday duties. The term is derived from the words ‘Nissan Motorsport,’ and the resulting Nismo Edition road cars are not just usable on a daily basis, but which can still be shown off on the track as well.
This is the list of Nissan Nismo models currently for sale in the USA:
Model | Power | Engine | Base Price |
---|---|---|---|
Nissan 370Z NISMO | 350 hp | 3.7L V6 Gas | $45,790 |
Nissan GT-R NISMO | 600 hp | 3.8L Twin-Turbo V6 Gas | $215,740 |
Nissan Juke NISMO | 188 hp | 1.6L Turbo Inline-4 Gas | $24,830 |

Nissan Z Nismo | 420 hp | 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 Gas | $64,990 |
Performance vehicles are always in demand among those with a love for driving, and the US definitely likes its fast cars. Thanks to a strong history in motorsports, Nismo cars can undoubtedly deliver, but they aren’t so obnoxious that you can’t use them daily on the road. This dual personality works in their favor, though you do have to settle for certain drawbacks.
