Meet the Most Powerful Nissan Models
For drivers who have high demands, Nissan is the only option. If you’re going to the track, want the latest electric performance, or need a tow vehicle for your next weekend adventure, Nissan has you covered. We’re shining a spotlight on some of the best Nissan models for drivers who need more than just a vehicle that gets them from point A to point B.
Most Horsepower
While the standard Nissan GT-R® is a powerful car, the NISMO-tuned version of this platform reaches a whole new level, using every performance upgrade a gearhead could desire and then some. The 600-horsepower engine features twin high-capacity turbos, as well as enhanced cooling, plasma-sprayed bores, and a lateral wet and dry-sump oiling system to keep this beast running perfectly. Enhanced body rigidity, innovative Bilstein® DampTronic® dampers, and crafted aerodynamics that let the GT-R NISMO slice through the air all work together to give this supercar surgeon-level precision on the racetrack.
Best Towing Capacity
If you need a powerful truck to tow your powerful car to the track or get you and all your equipment to the job site, the Nissan TITAN XD® is the answer. This workhorse can tow up to 11,040 pounds1 and has a maximum payload capacity of 2,390 pounds2, when properly equipped. Powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine, the Nissan TITAN XD has a maximum horsepower of 400, but even more impressive is the maximum torque output of 413 pound-feet. That immense torque gives the TITAN XD the ability to haul anything you need it to, with ease.
Best Electric Range
The very concept of power is evolving as society becomes more conscious of its carbon footprint—not to mention more interested in savings at the pump with rising fuel costs. That’s where the all-electric Nissan LEAF® steps in. Nissan has always led the charge in innovation, and the electric vehicle segment is no stranger to this automaker's game-changing innovations. With the 62 kWh battery, the Nissan LEAF PLUS has a maximum EPA range of up to 226 miles.3 That means you can go farther without ever needing to stop for gas. Charge at home or on the go with 240-volt charging options. With the 62 kWh battery, a Level 3 100-kWh DC Quick Charge will charge the LEAF PLUS by 80% in just 45 minutes.4 Not inspired by the Nissan Leaf? The all-new Nissan Ariya is on the horizon and it's going to offer a modern approach to all-electric power that Nissan drivers have been begging for.
Nissan isn’t just busy making some of the safest and most reliable vehicles on the road. It’s also creating vehicles that are at the apex of their segments and pushing the limits of performance. That’s why the team here at Hall Nissan Virginia Beach is so proud to be a part of the Nissan family.
