The 2020 GT-R receives a host of updated engine components and revised chassis tuning. Its hand-built twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 continues to make a potent 565 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque. However, Nissan traded out the old turbos for a pair of new ones that the company says make the engine more efficient and responsive at low revs. It also breathes through an updated exhaust system that includes new titanium components with burnished blue tips. A six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission continues to direct power to all four wheels, but its track-ready R drive mode features different programming. Nissan says the automated gearbox will downshift more aggressively in this setting and better adapt to the driver, reducing the need to switch manually back and forth from the more subdued A drive mode. The GT-R's chassis is enhanced with a retuned suspension that should help the car ride smoother and corner better. Likewise, the steering and braking systems have been optimized to be more responsive. The 2020 GT-R marks the 50th anniversary of the legendary nameplate, and Nissan commemorates this milestone with a special edition. Based on the Premium trim level, the 50th Anniversary Edition is available in three distinct two-tone exterior color combos. Nissan says each one represents a livery from the Japanese GT series that the original GT-R competed in. There's Pearl White with red stripes and Super Silver with white stripes, but the Bayside (Wangan) Blue with white stripes is arguably the most significant. This color combination was last seen on the famous Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 that was sold exclusively overseas from 1999 to 2002 and now returns from retirement for 2020. Inside, every special edition features a unique gray color scheme, which is also available on select other 2020 GT-R models. Additional 50thAnniversary features include special trim on the shift knob and steering wheel as well as distinct embossed seats, a faux-suede headliner, and more. While official pricing on the 2020 GT-R hasn't been released yet, we expect that to be announced before it goes on sale this summer.
