Nearly New: This 2k-Mile 2009 Nissan GT-R Premium Is a Time Capsule of Godzilla's Golden AgeMotoriousElizabeth PuckettThu, September 10, 2026 at 1:00 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleNearly New: This 2k-Mile 2009 Nissan GT-R Premium Is a Time Capsule of Godzilla's Golden AgeEvery so often a modern classic turns up looking as though it just rolled off the showroom floor, and this 2009 Nissan GT-R Premium currently listed on Bring a Trailer is exactly that kind of survivor. With only 2,000 miles showing and a single owner from new until this year, it is about as close as anyone will get to experiencing an R35 the way it felt when Godzilla first stunned the performance world.When it launched, the R35 rewrote expectations for what an all-wheel-drive coupe could do, blending brutal acceleration with genuine daily livability, and this example still wears its Titanium Metallic paint over black leather and suede like it never left the dealership. Power comes from the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter VR38DETT V6, routed through a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and Nissan's ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, a formula that made the GT-R a giant-killer against cars costing two or three times as much.The details back up the low-mileage claim throughout. The 20-inch seven-spoke forged wheels look untouched by curbs, the gold-finished brake calipers still shine against their cross-drilled and ventilated rotors, and the cabin's heated power-adjustable seats and Bose sound system appear barely broken in. Bilstein's DampTronic adaptive suspension, along with electronic brake-force distribution and vehicle dynamic control, round out a chassis package that still feels sophisticated well over a decade later.AdvertisementAdvertisementBacking up the odometer is a paper trail enthusiasts dream about, including the original window sticker, owner's manuals, and a clean Carfax report. The car is being offered by a dealer in Carrollton, Texas, and bidding had already climbed past $80,000 with the auction still days from closing, a strong sign that the market recognizes just how rare a truly untouched R35 has become. For anyone who has been waiting for a GT-R that still feels brand new, this one is worth a much closer look before the gavel falls.⚡️ Read the full article on MotoriousSign up for the Motorious Newsletter.
