The wait is over. First U.S. Nissan GT-R delivered at 12:01 AM
Filed under: Car Buying, Supercars, Nissan
UPDATED with video from our friends at Streetfire.
After we've had to adore the turbocharged Skyline GT-R from afar for nearly two decades, Nissan is officially selling its game-changing super coupe on U.S. shores for the first time. In a late night ceremony at a Universal City, California dealership, Daryl Alison took delivery of the very first GT-R sold Stateside - by the automaker. The event included all the pomp and circumstance you'd expect, including an appearance by notorious hot-shoe, Steve Millen. Alison, a long-time Nissan fan whose garage has housed a number of sports cars, including several 350Zs, was grinning from ear-to-ear while he got a rundown on this black GT-R in Premium trim. Not surprisingly, Alison paid sticker price ($72,900) for his GT-R, likely to be the first and last to do so as owners begin taking delivery of their own GT-Rs in the following weeks.
Hit the jump for the full press release from Nissan.

First U.S.-Spec Nissan GT-R Delivered in California
Given all of the hype behind the 480hp Nissan GT-R that leaps to 60mph in 3.5 seconds, it would be easy to imagine that the Skyline deprived U.S. market would devour all 1700 units allocated for the first year.
