DRIVING INSPIRATION

Whether you’re a gearhead or not, you’ve most likely seen the previews for the upcoming movie Gran Turismo. While the movie seems larger than life, it is actually based on a true story, and it’s about the Nissan GT Academy. In honor of the film coming out, we’re going to dive into the process of the Nissan GT Academy and some of Nissan’s top-performance vehicles, some of which are coming to our lot soon. Visit Annapolis Nissan to view our current inventory and learn more!

WHAT IS THE NISSAN GT ACADEMY?

Years ago, Jann Mardenborough went from ordinary gamer to legendary racer after he entered the Nissan GT Academy. The Nissan GT Academy is an intense competition organized by the lead automotive brand and Sony. The competition’s main prize was a huge opportunity to become a Nissan factory driver. What was meant to be a one-year program ended up occurring from 2008 until 2016. Though it is no longer running, as you can see, the Nissan GT Academy has left its mark on the world, inspiring an epic cinematic retelling of the monumental event.

AN EPIC RIDE AHEAD

The intensely high-powered Nissan performance models are at the core of the Nissan GT Academy. The Nissan Z® Performance is one of the top performance models from the brand, and we’ve got more on the way to the dealership! It harnesses a substantial 400 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque. The aerodynamic Nissan GT-R® is another high-powered legend, boasting heart-racing 565 horsepower and 467 lb.-ft. of torque. Built to conquer, the Nissan TITAN PRO-4X® takes things to the extremes with unbelievable 4×4 capabilities and advanced off-road technology. Lastly, the Nissan Altima VC-Turbo changes the game with its 4-cylinder engine and 248 horsepower. Want to learn more about Nissan’s high-powered performance models? Speak with our team today!
