While Nissan dealers might not be making it easy for the average buyer to get their hands on the new GT-R supercar — with markups nearly doubling the car’s sticker price — Nissan will be offering at least one option to make the GT-R more attainable.
According to Edmunds, Nissan will be offering a lease option for the 480 horsepower GT-R. Although Nissan officials have announced that a lease program is in place, they have yet to disclose details — such as the car’s residual or other lease terms.
It is expected that details of the lease program will be announced closer to the GT-R’s sales date, likely in March or April.
However, because of the GT-R’s limited availability — with an initial run of 1,500 examples — Nissan expects the vast majority of customers to purchase, not lease, the supercar.
Nissan officials also confirmed that a V-Spec GT-R was headed for the Japanese market, but that automaker has yet to make a decision on U.S. availability.
