New Nissan GT-R NISMO now available in Gran Turismo®6

Nissan and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe have announced that the brand new Nissan GT-R NISMO is now available for Gran Turismo®6. The GT-R NISMO is the ultimate articulation of the R35 GT-R. First released in 2007, Nissan and engineers have been meticulously honing the GT-R’s performance with each version of the car that has followed.

The Nissan GT-R NISMO was recently present at the GT Academy 2014 European Race Camp at Silverstone. During the event, president of Polyphony Digital Inc. and creator of Gran Turismo Kazunori Yamauchi was able to drive the car and announced that it would be made available for purchase from the in-game dealership. As a thank you to GT Academy fans, the car is also free to download for any Gran Turismo®6player who has entered the GT Academy 2014 competition.

The first deliveries of the road version of the Nissan GT-R NISMO have already begun in Japan. The car is also now on sale in the U.S. and Europe, with their first deliveries scheduled for October.

“The GT-R NISMO is an incredible car, and I am thrilled that Nissan is able to not only offer it to drivers across the globe, but now also to gamers in the virtual world of Gran Turismo®6,” said Yamauchi. “It’s another great example of how Nissan continues to bring innovation and excitement to all – both in the real and virtual world.”
