Nissan VR engine

Automotive Engines

The Nissan VR is a series of twin-turbo, double overhead camshaft V6 engines of 3.0, 3.5 and 3.8 L, an evolution of the successful VQ series that also draws on the VRH, JGTC and Nissan R390 GT1 Le Mans racing engines. The VR38DETT, first of the series, was developed and used from 2007 to 2025 in the Nissan GT-R and was hand built by specially trained mechanics at Nissan's Yokohama plant. The VR30DDTT was announced by Infiniti in December 2015 for the Q50, followed by the Q60, and appeared on Ward's 10 Best Engines for 2017 and 2018. The VR35DDTT, announced in March 2024 for the third-generation Infiniti QX80 and also used in the Patrol and Armada, replaces the 5.6 L VK56 V8.
