CAR OVERVIEW
The Nissan GT-R Pure Edition 2016
Overview
The Nissan GT-R Pure Edition 2016 proves that sometimes less really is more. Finished in sleek Jet Black (GAG) with a black half leather interior, this exceptionally clean R35 presents exactly as a GT-R should. Showing just 6,832km from new and carrying an outstanding Grade 5 with Interior Grade A, this is a car that has clearly been cherished throughout its life.
While many GT-Rs have been heavily modified or driven hard, this example remains remarkably original, making it an increasingly rare find in today’s market. With production of the R35 GT-R now officially finished, low mileage examples such as this are becoming harder to source and increasingly desirable amongst enthusiasts worldwide.
The GT-R earned the nickname Godzilla by dominating rivals on road and track, and this Pure Edition delivers everything that made the R35 legendary. Twin-turbo performance, all-wheel-drive grip and everyday usability combine to create one of the greatest performance cars Japan has ever produced.
With only 6,832km recorded, this GT-R remains in near showroom condition and represents a fantastic opportunity to secure a seriously special piece of Japanese engineering.

Why Choose The Pure Edition?
The Pure Edition has become increasingly popular amongst GT-R enthusiasts because it delivers the full GT-R driving experience without unnecessary complexity.
Many buyers actually prefer the Pure Edition because it retains the raw character that made the GT-R famous. You still get the legendary VR38 twin-turbo engine, ATTESA four-wheel-drive system and dual-clutch transmission, but without paying the significant premium attached to Black Edition, Premium Edition or NISMO models.
For enthusiasts who plan to drive and enjoy their GT-R, the Pure Edition often represents the best value within the entire R35 range.
It offers everything that matters whilst remaining one of the smartest ways into GT-R ownership.
Why The Nissan GT-R Continues To Be A Modern Icon
The R35 GT-R changed the supercar world forever.
When launched, it embarrassed exotic machinery costing double and sometimes triple the price. The combination of relentless acceleration, incredible grip and everyday usability created a performance benchmark that many manufacturers struggled to match.
Even today, the GT-R remains one of the fastest and most capable road cars available.
Few cars offer the same blend of practicality, reliability and outright performance.
It is easy to understand why enthusiasts across the world continue to refer to it simply as Godzilla.
