If you have the need for speed, you should consider getting a performance car from Nissan. Currently, the Japanese automaker has several speedy cars that can compete with the some of the fastest production cars in the world. Here are three of them.

Maxima

While it’s competing in the full-size segment, theNissan Maxima is smaller than many of its rivals. This sports sedan uses a 300-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine and a continuously variable transmission. With this combo, it can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. The car is also one of the better-handling cars in its segment, offering adequate grip and minimal body lean around turns.

370Z

The 370Z comes with a 3.7-liter V6 engine that pairs with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission. All trims make 332 hp, except the NISMO, which produces 350 hp. The 370Z can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 13.7 seconds. The base and Touring trims come with an open rear differential, while the others receive a viscous limited-slip differential.

GT-R

Also known as “Godzilla”, theNissan GT-R is one of the fastest production cars ever made. It’s equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 engine that generates 600 hp in the NISMO trim and 565 hp in the other trims. This car can go from zero to 60 mph in an incredible 2.9 seconds and finish a quarter-mile run in just 11 seconds.

Nissan’s performance cars don’t only offer great speed and power; they are also reliable, comfortable, and loaded with advanced features.
