The facelifted 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo is now available for order across Japan. Prices for it start from 18,700,200 Yen or S$252,000.

Changes to the car on the outside include a new carbon fibre front bumper with canards, updated mesh pattern for its grill and a reinforced hood that avoids deformation at high speeds. These also combine to generate more downforce than any other production car made by Nissan till date.

Inside, the new dashboard design will give owners a more classy feel, with the enlarged 8-inch touch-panel monitor taking center stage. Goodies that the enthusiast will drool over include the leather-wrapped Recaro carbon fibre bucket seats and the Alcantara wrapped steering wheel and center armrest.

Elsewhere, both the all-wheel drive and the suspension system have been refined to give the car better performance on the track. Power from the 3.8-litre turbocharged engine remains at 592bhp.
