PERFORMANCE GT-R
PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
AN UNMATCHED BLEND OF TECHNOLOGY AND SOUL
A SINGULAR SUPERCAR, SO INTUITIVE ANYONE CAN DRIVE IT. SO CAPABLE, IT CAN BE DRIVEN ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
3.8-L TWIN-TURBO V6
THE HEART OF THE LEGENDNissan challenged convention at every point of the Nissan GT-R’s development. Instead of a large, heavy engine thirsty for fuel, the Nissan GT-R is powered by an ideally sized, twin-turbocharged 3.8-L V6 that produces an even more powerful 570 ps and equally immense 637 nm of torque, the result of individual ignition-timing control of the cylinders and extra boost from the turbochargers. Just as important as the engineering is the actual assembly, which is done by hand by a single master craftsman, whose signature you’ll find on a small, but prominent, plaque.
570-PS VR38 TWIN TURBO ENGINE
An engine designed to answer the demands of a supercar for the 21st century, the VR38 is high-performance, while still being fuel-efficient and conscious of the environment.
IHI INTEGRATED TURBOCHARGER
An IHI turbocharger is mounted on each bank of the engine. By combining the exhaust manifold and turbocharger into a single unit, the intake and exhaust gas flow is optimized. A larger intercooler is installed for more efficient cooling. To ensure there is no turbo lag as torque rises, high-precision electronic controls are employed.
FROM THE CLEAN ROOM TO THE TEST TRACK
MASTERY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
ONE MAN, ONE ENGINE
Only five master craftsmen in the world are allowed to hand-assemble the GT-R’s engine and affix a plaque carrying their name.
EXPERT DRIVERS
AS Class drivers – the top development drivers at Nissan – help create a vehicle that would excel at any racetrack, in any kind of weather, in the hands of any level of driver.
DEVELOPMENT
Drivers are assigned to a unique aspect of Nissan GT-R’s development, including an Autobahn expert, a “Marketability” expert, and “Ringmeisters” who pit the GT-R against the legendary Nürburgring.
