Nissan GT-R Nismo

One thing the Nissan GT-R Nismo is made for, it is to combine the best performance of a supercar on a track. Is it "factory tuned" supercar with very specific enhanced aerodynamics and ultra-precise handling. That what mean Nismo, the brand's motorsport specialists, to develop the ultimate Nissan GT-R.

Nissan says that this is the fastest GT-R till now with a 7:08.679 lap time at the famous  Nürburgring, which is the gold standard of high performance achievement."

Under the bonet, we find the 3.8-litre V6 VR38DETT engine benefits from the high-tech that Nismo has gained from the compititions. Engine power has risen and is now rated at 591hp (441kw) and 481 lb ft (652 Nm) of torque. Equiped with new high-flow, large diameter turbochargers, makes the “breathing” a lot better, while optimised individual ignition timing control for each cylinder and upgraded fuel pump improve combustion.

The developed Bilstein DampTronic dumpers in the car’s suspension are modified to to give more grip and better handling specially when the car is driven to it limit. The driver can choose between 3 suspension modes: Comfort, Normal and R, for circuit applications.

The  GT-R got a 17.3 mm hollow rear anti-roll bar to minimize the body-roll during cornering and changes of direction.

The driver does not have to worry about the way to increase downforce thanks to the front bumper and the rear spoiler, lowering the centre of gravity and generating an additional 100kg at 300km/h. The car has been tuned to ensure the downforce is equally spread front to rear at all speeds for progressive handling characteristics.

In the interior, we find a slight difference, like the carbon-fibre-backed reclining RECARO seats and a Alcantara steering wheel, with three spokes, red centre mark and red stitching to give the best combination of grip
