Compare the2023 Nissan GT-RVS 2023 Ferrari Roma

The GT-R has standard head airbag curtains which act as a forgiving barrier between the driver and front passenger's upper bodies and the window and pillars. Combined with high-strength steel door beams and lower side airbags this system increases head protection in broadside collisions. The Roma doesn't offer side airbag protection for the head.

The GT-R has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Roma doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

Both the GT-R and the Roma have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding and front and rear parking sensors.

The Nissan GT-R weighs 406 to 474 pounds more than the Ferrari Roma. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Nissan’s powertrain warranty covers the GT-R 2 years longer than Ferrari covers the Roma. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the Roma ends after only 3 years.

The GT-R’s corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Roma’s (5 vs. 3 years).

There are over 23 times as many Nissan dealers as there are Ferrari dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the GT-R’s warranty.

All wheel drive, available in the GT-R, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Ferrari Roma is not available with all wheel drive.

For better stopping power the GT-R NISMO’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Roma:

For better traction, the GT-R has larger front tires than the Roma (F:255/40R20 & R:285/35R20 vs. F:245/35R20 & R:285/35R20).

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires standard on the GT-R can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Roma doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GT-R’s wheelbase is 4.3 inches longer than on the Roma (109.4 inches vs. 105.1 inches).

For excellent aerodynamics, the GT-R has standard flush composite headlights. The Roma has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The GT-R uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Roma doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

With its coupe body style, valet key and remote trunk release lockout, the GT-R offers cargo security. The Roma’s hatchback body style defeats cargo security.

The GT-R’s standard power windows have a locking feature to keep children from operating them. Ferrari does not offer a locking feature on the Roma’s standard power windows.

The GT-R’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The Roma’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.
