The latest GT-R has improved on previous models, particularly in terms of power output, transmission, suspension and efficiency. The beast that is the Nissan GT-R is powered by a 3.8 litre V6 twin turbo engine, gaining an extra 7 kW on the previous GT-R, to 397 kW. This improvement in power is largely attributed to intake efficiency, exhaust valve cooling and airflow resistance, which alternatively reduces the fuel efficiency from 12 litres / 100km to 11.8 litres / 100km.
Improvements made to the shift fork arm and the fixing
bearing on the flywheel housing has made gear shifting a whole lot smoother and
quieter compared to previous models. Reinforcement on the body work has
increased hold while improving the handling of the GT-R. Asymmetrical suspension
compensates for the weight of the driver and the prop shaft, improving handling
when blasting through corners.
The Nissan GT-R comes in two models, Premium Edition or
Black Edition. Features include a touch-screen, multi-function display, audio
functions and navigation, digital gear indicator and an 11-speaker Bose audio
system compatible with iPod and other media devices. A reversing camera comes
standard on all models. The Black Edition model features red-trimmed, black
leather Recaro sports seats and a black headlining.
Here’s something to drool over, the Nissan GT-R clocks 0-100
km/h in just 3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 315km/h, just slightly slower
than the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 which does 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds
but creams the GT-R with a top speed of 350 km/h.
The price for the latest Nissan GT-R Premium Edition is R 1 314 000
while the Black Edition is going for R 1 364 000.
