Nissan Performance Car Shopping Guide

If you picture reliable stalwarts like the Nissan Sentra and Nissan Rogue when you think of the Nissan brand, that’s understandable; our reputation is built on vehicles like these. However, there’s another pillar to the brand that’s known to a select few: Nissan performance cars that put their European rivals to shame.

What Makes a Performance Car?

What makes a car a “performance car”? Horsepower is only one element among many. 

Nissan performance cars at a Nissan dealership near Omaha have different chassis and suspension tuning than our other new Nissan models. 

The body is also often lower and lighter, with a wider track width. You’ll also find more advanced braking systems, sport seats, and even a more tactile steering feel. 

Rather than being mere transportation, these Nissan models are designed and built to bring the excitement back to your drive through precise handling, tighter cornering, and a more engaging feel.

Nissan 370Z Coupe

With rear-wheel drive, standard six-speed manual transmission, a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged engine, and a gorgeous profile that looks sculpted rather than manufactured, the Nissan 370Z Coupe feels like a throwback to a bygone era. 

However, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Safety Shield 360® driver assist features, plus options like a nine-speed automatic transmission, mechanical limited-slip differential, Bose® premium sound, and active noise cancellation remind you that classics can evolve without losing their soul. 

Nissan GT-R

The Nissan GT-R takes everything we love about the Nissan 370Z and amplifies it. All-wheel drive with torque vectoring is standard, letting you carve corners with ease. 

It’s a demon on the straightaway, too, since it’s propelled by a 3.8L V6 engine that makes 565 horsepower in the lower trims, or 600 horses and 481 lb-ft of torque in its NISMO® form. 

The three-second time from zero to sixty miles per hour, standard heated front seats, leather upholstery, standard Bose® audio and Apple CarPlay®? Those are just icing on the cake.
