Jenson Button’s Nissan GT-R for sale
Formula One star Jenson Button is selling his Nissan GT-R supercar – with just 1,600 miles on the clock.
The Frome flier has decided it’s time to part ways with the matte black Nissan after only owning it for a little-longer than 12 months.
Button bought the £65,000 supercar towards the end of 2009 after being crowned Formula One World Champion.
He opted to have the ’59′ plate car covered in a matte black wrap and matching black alloys – giving it a meaner look to match its aggressive performance.
Under the bonnet of the Nissan GT-R is a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine which develops an almighty 480bhp.
This power accelerates the Japanese supercar from 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds and all the way to a top speed of 193mph.
The Nissan GT-R received huge acclaim when it went on sale in 2008 – with critics praising its amazing value-for-money performance.
Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson described it as “an extraordinary car, quite unlike anything I’ve driven before”.
It then got the ultimate seal of approval when newly-crowned Formula One World Champion Jenson Button decided to buy one with his hard-earned cash.
But now Button has decided it’s time for him and his Nissan to go their separate ways – with the 30-year-old multi-millionaire sportsman not having the spare time to enjoy the car’s performance.
It’s being sold through Suffolk-based Steve Hurn Specialist Cars for just £49,995.
Steve said: “This is a great opportunity to get your hands on a used Nissan GT-R with such a low mileage.
“It’s an absolutely stunning vehicle and the fact it’s owned by one of motorsport’s best drivers makes it all the more desirable.”
Button has had a string of incredible cars through the years, owning a Mercedes CLK DTM AMG, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari 550 Maranello, Ford GT, Porsche Carrera GT and Bugatti Veyron.

he owned ENZO and VEYRON? no wonder he dissed this awesome car
That is just about the coolest looking car around. But if you have an Enzo and Veyron, guess it’s not much.
I guess he decided the “budget” super car wasn’t much of a bargain after pricing a brake job — $7500 US.
I can say the Nissan GT-R as one wide variety model.
As it contains 480 hp, I think it is one efficient model.
yes please, the Stormgirl logo will fit perfectly on this bad boy!
If I had the money…I would buy a better car for the same amount.
