Alongside the enhanced 2013 model year 370Z, the GT-R spearheads Nissan's performance car line-up.
At the very top of the
Nissan range, the GT-R now has a reworked 550 ps 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, generating improved responses from the mid and upper rev ranges. Modifications have also been made to the dampers, springs and front anti-roll bar. The result is greater high-speed stability, improved traction, a more refined ride and an enhanced driver experience.
The 0-62 mph time is now only 2.7 seconds, 0.1 seconds quicker than in the model year 2012 car. The revised model is also even faster around the Nurburgring, lapping the famous German circuit in 7 min 19.1 seconds when undergoing testing in May this year.
Kazutoshi Mizuno, creator of the GT-R, has revealed that 0.5 seconds were lost to traffic on that hot lap, indicating that the MY13 GT-R is capable of a 7 min 18.6 seconds lap. That compares to 7 min 21 seconds for the MY12 GT-R.
With the GT-R always showcasing Nissan's latest technology, the modifications made are derived from data generated during competitive racing at the 2012 Nurburgring 24-Hour race in Germany in which two near-production GT-R models were competing last year.
The Nissan GT-R is a four-wheel-drive super-coupe like no other, with a lineage and integrity that stretches back more than four decades.
When the current version debuted in 2009 its aggressive and unique styling and thunderous performance created a storm of publicity and rave reviews. It has been subtly upgraded every year since.
The MY13 Nissan GT-R is available to order now.
