Nissan continues to make improvements to the GT-R. This time, you will notice the Nismo version work in progress.
Nissan sharpens the GT-R Nismo on the fiftieth anniversary of the sports car. On the outside you can recognize the latest version of the air vents above the front wheels, which is straight from the GT3 race car, the GT-R down. The air intakes also contribute to improved flow, which among other things allows more downward pressure is generated.
Another visible change is the new titanium rear silencer of the exhaust, with blue details. What you don’t see is the improved suspension, which makes the GT-R Nismo even more stable the curve handles. The improved dampers to ensure greater comfort and more precise steering for an even purer driving experience. New are the carbon-ceramic brake discs, lighter wheels with improved Dunlop tires. Also improved: the seating, which more support in the back.
Thus, we are not there yet, because Nissan is working also on the six-speed automatic gearbox. That includes the new switch mode R-mode, which allows the machine not only faster switches, but also chooses the optimal gear for the uitaccelereren of a bend.
The 3.8 V6 engine with twinturbotechniek and 600 hp is unchanged. The redesigned GT-R Nismo is now available to order, the price is not yet known.
