My Take: Ever wonder how much it would cost you to lease a Nissan GT-R? Wonder no more! For my amusing lease of the day, I decided to pop in a few numbers into the calculator and see what we would be looking at. I did this back in August for the Audi R8 and these are the numbers I got:

24mo Payment: $2693 at invoice, $3098 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $2188 at invoice, $2467 at MSRP

Now for the GT-R:

24mo Payment: $1096 at invoice, $1308 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $1089 at invoice, $1236 at MSRP

Looks pretty good to me! The problem is, you can’t get a GT-R at invoice or at MSRP for that matter. TMV suggests $10,000 markup and I’m inclined to believe that its more like 20k. I can probably lease TWO GT-Rs for the price of one R8.
