Nissan Skyline GT-R : Wooow !

Watch 1
Watch 2

The Nissan has introduced his/her supersportiva to Tokyo and they are already in many to wonder what the verdict of the market will be. The GT-R seems to be prepared on all the fronts: strongly of a consolidated (GT-R has existed since 1969) tradition, observing the data divulged by the Builder, you/he/she can afford to decidedly challenge currently big part of the supersportives on the market to costs of purchase more lower part. The person responsible of the development Kazutoshi Mizuno defines her/it "a supercar that, for the safety levels and the tall performances, is destined to everybody, wherever, always."

The design, had fundamentally been announcing for long time, he/she remembers from near the GT-R Proto introduced to the Motor Show of Tokyo in 2005, which, in turn, the 2001 GT-R Concept stylistically recalls. The new Nissan GT-R decidedly has aggressive lines: imposing, square in the sides, it results to be very aerodynamic: his/her Cx is in fact equal to 0,27. Also the takings of air on the anterior mudguards improve the aerodynamic performances of the car, facilitating the flow of the air around the wheels, and they are characteristic and aggressive.


As for the external lines, also the cabin of the GT-R is sought after and functional. The tools of edge on the line of vision of the driver are directly set for the maximum legibility. The circular analogical indicators have thick frames and in position of honor there is a speedometer with the red line that departs from the 7000 turns. Here you/he/she is also inserted an indicator that shows the position of the change. Entirely new it is the display multifunzione in the center of the dashboard, that shows the information of edge (speed, angular accelerations, consumptions, etc.) and the data detailed on the mechanics of the vehicle (push of the I upset, pressure of water and oil motor, oil of the transmission, distribution couple anterior / back engine, etc.), further to angles of swerve, pressure in braked and acceleration and optimal mappatura of the changed for saving fuel. The display has been projected in collaboration with Polyphony Digital Inc., the realizzatoris of the video games of the series Gran Tourism for the PlayStation Sony. The anterior seats are type sporting and very contained you, while in the back divanetto apparent offered hospitality is that of one 2+2 sporting. The luggage van has an ability of 315 liters.


Reasoning with some datum to the hand now, asks us: as you/he/she has come to turn to the Nurburgring with a GT-R of series in 7' and 38?" Simple: the mass of the car of 1.740 kg, not really few, have moved from the propeller VR38DETT, a new unity from 3,8 liters, supercharged by two turbocompressoris IHI, specifically developed for the GT-R. The maximum power is of 480 CVs to 6400 turns, while the couple of 588 Nm is disbursed without solution of continuity by 3200 to 5200 turns. Small curiosity: the propellers as the transmissions, are all realized to hand. An artisan assembles piece for piece the components of the motor: the specialized workers complete the construction in a special "white room" devoted to the GT-R in the establishment Nissan of Yokohama.


Another unpublished novelty on a GT-R concerns the transmission. The new sporting of Nissan uses a change automatic-seuquenziale type GR6, on purpose developed for the car. The change to double friction to six marches with commands on the back of the steering wheel (shift paddle), according to the diffused data, it is very fast, to second that the manual formality or the more performante are used "R." Appreciable in the urban use the automatic option "To", also it selezionabile from the command to the center of the dashboard.


The system of integral traction of the GT-R is 4WD Attended And-TS, that distributes in optimal way the power to the anterior wheels, if and when necessary. From the back traction only you/he/she can be come to give up to 50,% of the couple to it attacks him anterior to improve the traction in difficult road conditions as rain, ice and snow. The anterior traction also serves to face better the curves on the asphalt, optimizing adherence and stability.


The compartment suspensions you/he/she has been taken care of by Bilstein that you/he/she has set her for the new base "Premium Midship" and they exploit the perfect distribution of the load around four wheels. A special command allows the driver to plan three different formalities: R (for the tall performances), Sport (the normal formulation) and Comfort (to reduce the bumps on the city asphalt). The system electronically modifies the regulation of the dampers Bilstein DampTronic, on purpose developed for the GT-R.

The brakes of the new GT-R, as for the preceding models, I am griffati Brembo and they adopt disks steel ventilated and pierced around four wheels by 380 mm of diameter. The tires are 255/40ZRF20 on the anterior one and 285/35ZRF20 to the back one, while the you look for in league from 20 thumbs they have a series of protuberances on the edge to firmly fix the rubbers in the strong accelerations and in braked. In Japan Nissan makes also available winter rubbers not spiked specifications for the GT-R.

Waiting for the prices for Italy, we are satisfied there with those Japanese defined for the three available preparations: GT-R from 7.770.000 Yen (around 47.000 European), GT-R Black Edition from 7.797.500 Yen (around 49.000 European) and GT-R Premium Edition from 8.347.500 Yen (around 51.500 European). Nissan offers the total support to his/her clients for the first three years from the purchase: all the cars return in shop for the maintenance programmed after the first 1000 km and, subsequently, every 12 months.
