Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn says: “this is the fastest Nissan GT-R ever. With a 7:08.679 lap time, we can authoritatively say that the Nissan GT-R Nismo holds the volume production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which is the gold standard of high performance achievement.”

Race-inspired version of Nissan’s legendary GT-R make its European debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

With DNA from the legendary Nismo racing team, this ultimate GT-R is a race oriented “factory tuned” super car. With the GT-R enhanced aerodynamics and ultra precise handling. One of the best super cars, just got even better.

The GT-R Nismo is already available in Japan and after extensive development in Europe at the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife, one of the most challenging circuits in the world.

The cars is powered by a 600hp (441kw) advanced 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine. With the latest GT-RT Advanced aerodynamics generating additional 100kg*1of downforce at 300km/h (186mph) for exceptional road-holding

Nismo GT-R Mechanical Features

Nissan GT-R Nismo employs innovation, uncompromising engineering and motorsports-inspired technologies to achieve new levels of power, speed and handling.

Engine

  • Under the hood, the 3.8-litre V6 VR38DETT engine benefits from the know-how that Nismo has gained from participating in such events as the world-renowned Nürburgring 24 hour race. Engine power has risen and is now rated at 600PS (441kw) and 481 lb ft (652 Nm) of torque.
  • New high-flow, large capacity turbochargers, which are used for GT3 racing, improve breathing, while optimised individual ignition timing control for each cylinder and upgraded fuel pump improve combustion.

Chassis

  • The springs and custom-developed Bilstein DampTronic dampers in the front and rear suspension are specially tuned to deliver exceptional grip levels and progressive handling response at the limit. Three suspension modes can be selected: Comfort, Normal and R, for circuit applications.
  • Exclusive Nismo tyres – developed by Dunlop – exhibit outstanding grip and handling characteristics. Front: 255/40 ZRF20; rear 285/35 ZRF20.
  • Specially-developed links fitted to the front double wishbone suspension increase castor trail to optimise wheel position during high-G cornering and improve straight-line and cornering stability. Additionally, large high-rigidity bolts are used to increase stiffness of the wheel-hub attachment area.
  • To minimise body-roll during cornering and changes of direction, the Nissan GT-R Nismo features a 17.3 mm hollow rear anti-roll bar which raises roll stiffness while reducing weight.

Body construction

  • Increased rigidity in the bodyshell is achieved using adhesive bonding in addition to spot welding leading to precise suspension response under extreme load, the Nismo “factory tuned” enhancement.
