THE all-conquering Nissan GT-R, which remains one of the most striking supercars on the planet, has received a number of important handling, interior and exterior enhancements for 2015.
Aimed at improving the already renowned GT-R driving experience, the new upgrades underline the GT-R’s legendary position in the upper echelons of the super sports car segment.
Achieving a heightened sense of premium sports performance, the most notable changes are to improve the GT-R’s ride and handling, with comfort playing an even greater role than before.
An even better suspension setup, which is still a double wishbone design up front and a multilink system at the rear, allows for improved ride comfort, handling and stability.
Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels have been reduced thanks to the improved transmission noise and shock reduction, with brake noise also reduced as well for an overall more pleasant drive. Braking ability, which is powered by a revered two-piece floating-rotor Brembo four-disc system, has also been further enhanced.
Completing the list of improvements, a new multi-spoke wheel design is now available for the GT-R Premium Edition.
The Nissan GT-R maintains its 3.8-litre turbocharged V6 engine as standard which, thanks to its 397kW of power and 628Nm of torque, is still good for a blistering 0-100 km/h sprint of just 2,9 seconds and a top speed of 315km/h.
Power is transferred to all four wheels via Nissan’s ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system linked in a transaxle design to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission at the rear and a high-performance mechanical limited-slip differential.
