Compare the2024 Nissan GT-RVS 2024 Ferrari Daytona SP3

The GT-R has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Daytona SP3 doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The GT-R has standard NissanConnect Services, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Daytona SP3 doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the GT-R and the Daytona SP3 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

The Nissan GT-R weighs 417 to 485 pounds more than the Ferrari Daytona SP3. 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 Daytona SP3. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the Daytona SP3 ends after only 3 years.

The GT-R’s corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Daytona SP3’s (5 vs. 3 years).

There are almost 27 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.

The Daytona SP3’s redline is at 9500 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The GT-R has a 7100 RPM redline.

On the EPA test cycle the GT-R gets better mileage than the Daytona SP3:

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 Daytona SP3 is not available with all wheel drive.

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 Daytona SP3 doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GT-R’s wheelbase is 5 inches longer than on the Daytona SP3 (109.4 inches vs. 104.4 inches).

The GT-R is 6.1 inches narrower than the Daytona SP3, making the GT-R easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.

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 Daytona SP3 doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

The GT-R has standard seating for 4 passengers; the Daytona SP3 can only carry 2.

The GT-R has 35 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Daytona SP3 (79 vs. 44).

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 Daytona SP3’s standard power windows.

The GT-R’s front power windows open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Daytona SP3’s front passenger window doesn’t close automatically.

The GT-R’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The Daytona SP3’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.

The GT-R’s standard Intelligent Key allows you to unlock the doors from either outside door handle, open the trunk, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Keyless Start standard on the Daytona SP3 only offers hands-free access for the ignition, none to unlock the car.

The GT-R has a standard center folding armrest for the driver and front passenger. A center armrest helps combat driver fatigue. The Daytona SP3 doesn’t offer a front seat center armrest.

The GT-R’s standard steering wheel mounted cruise control on/off switch is conveniently located with the rest of the cruise controls. The Daytona SP3’s standard cruise control must be turned on with a hard to find switch on the dashboard.

The GT-R’s standard GPS navigation system has a real-time traffic update feature that plots alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.) The Daytona SP3’s navigation system doesn’t offer real-time traffic updates.
