The Cost Of A Nissan GT-R Around The Globe

The other day I noticed a couple of the new Nissan GT-Rs being sold on Motortrader, which is Malaysia’s biggest car sales website. One thing that grabbed my attention was how much more expensive the car is when compared to prices I’d heard them going for in other parts of the world – especially Japan.

I thought I’d put together a list of the prices I found for the exact same car just in different countries, and you’ll probably be surprised as I was at the immense difference between some of them.

Bear in mind when looking at the list that I didn’t research or take into account stuff like dealer charges, tax and all those other costs that come associated with a new car, and also the fact is that most of these cars are not delivered into the country by the manufacturer and are all grey imports. Also, I listed the price of the cheapest example I could find in all the countries specified.

JAPAN – 7.7 million Yen ($75,225 USD)
SINGAPORE – $299,000 SGD ($216,500 USD)
MALAYSIA – RM750,000 ($235,825 USD)
AUSTRALIA – $150,000 AUD ($138,930 USD)
US – $96,000 USD
UK – £65,000 ($125,250 USD)

As you can see the price jumps around more than a nine year old immediately after ingesting a stomach full of red cordial, and unfortunately for me, I’m currently living in the country where the car appears to be the most expensive – and I thought Australia was bad.

If anyone else can track down a price for the Nissan GT-R in another country and can support it with a link, please let me know with a comment or by emailing it to me at jdmasia@gmail.com and I’ll add it to the list!
