FAQs

What is the fastest Nissan sports car?

The GT-R Nismo is not only fast, with a top speed of 205 mph, but also the quickest. With its 600-horsepower engine and 481 lb-ft of torque, the sporty Nissan can zip from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds.

How much do new Nissan sports cars cost?

The price of these 2-door speedsters depends on just how high-spec you want them to be. If you intend to tackle the track, then save up between $100k and $200k for one of the top GT-R models, but if you just want a quick and sporty car for driving around town and on the highway, the Z is available at around $40,000. If you want it with more advanced features than standard, the price can rise significantly.

Are Nissan sports cars reliable?

While the automaker has a pretty good reputation for reliability, vehicles in the sports coupe classification are generally considered to be at greater risk than a traditional road car.

Do Nissan coupes get good mileage?

None of the models in the range boast great mpg returns, but the Z is the best of the lot with 19/28/22 mpg when equipped with the automatic transmission.
