Godzilla is back for the 2024 model year, with Nissan launching it a few months ago. The latest iteration GT-R sports some modest improvements, though it remains the same great machine that still keeps the petrolhead crowd up at night, even if it is an aging product.
The lineup comprises three trim levels. It starts from $120,990, excluding destination, for the base Premium. The mid-range option is called the T-Spec and has an MSRP of $140,990, and for the top-of-the-line variant, which adds the Nismo suffix to the GT-R, interested parties are looking at a minimum of $220,990.
According to Nissan, the first two versions have 565 hp (573 ps/421 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 467 lb-ft (633 Nm) of torque between 3,300 and 5,800 rpm to play with. The Nismo-tuned variant uses an upgraded version of the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6, which enjoys 600 hp (609 ps/448 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 481 lb-ft (652 Nm) at 3,600-5,600 rpm. All cars are all-wheel drive and feature a six-speed DCT.
Since it has received mild visual updates over the years, it is very tricky to tell when a specific example came to life. After all, the R35 has been around since 2007, and so far, countless copies have tapped into their more aggressive sides by paying a visit to various tuning companies. One of them is DarwinPro Aero, and we're not exactly fans of its projects, as most of them are too flashy. However, we think they've done a decent job when it comes to this specific Nissan GT-R.
Shared on their social media right before the weekend, these images show a blue Godzilla sprinkled with carbon fiber. It features all kinds of attachments at the front, sides, and rear, including an apron with side blades, vented front fenders, a trunk attachment, a new diffuser with a motorsport-like brake light incorporated in the middle, and a massive wing. It also comes with four large round tailpipes, a pair of DLRs up front, and a set of dual-tone alloys with a five-spoke design. The red accents on various components give it some contrast and round off the makeover.
DarwinPro Aero hasn't said anything about the oily bits of their tuned Nissan GT-R. As a result, we think they haven't touched the twin-turbocharged V6, and that's alright, as it is already punchy enough without any outside intervention, so long as we're not talking about the older iterations in the base spec. They also haven't mentioned how much the carbon fiber body kit costs, though we think it is a small fortune. Still, you can find out about the Benjamins by reaching out to the tuner, and don't forget to tell us the magic number if you do.
