Why Rent a Nissan GT-R R35 in Miami?
Renting a GT-R R35 is about more than just driving but it’s about experiencing power, design, and prestige in one of the most exciting cities in the U.S.
What Makes the GT-R R35 So Special?
- Supercar-Level Performance
The GT-R R35 features a hand-built 3.8L twin-turbocharged V6 engine that delivers approximately 565 horsepower. This lets you launch from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds matching or surpassing many European exotics that cost twice as much. - All-Wheel Drive Stability
Unlike many high-performance rear-wheel-drive supercars, the GT-R uses an advanced ATTESA E-TS AWD system. This gives it an incredible edge in handling—especially on wet or uneven Miami roads. - Technology Meets Tradition
The GT-R is a marvel of Japanese engineering, combining racing DNA with advanced features like dual-clutch transmission, active aerodynamics, and adaptive suspension for street and track driving. - Distinctive Presence
Its aggressive lines, wide stance, and roaring exhaust note make the GT-R R35 a head-turner on every block of South Beach and Downtown Miami.
Pro Tip: The GT-R R35 offers a rare balance between exotic speed and everyday drivability making it perfect for both spirited highway runs and city exploration.
