Performance and Design of the 2017 Nissan GT-R
Monday, July 17th, 2017
Meet the 2017 Nissan GT-R, the sports car that carves the wind around it. Rather than being designed to the many demands of aerodynamics, the 2017 GT-R is able to sculpt the air around it to fits its needs.

Newly-designed front and rear fascia keep air away from parts like the back bumper and wheel wells, while providing cool air to key motor components.
