Nissan Unveils A GT-R For True Racing Fans

nissan performance

When it comes to sports cars, each company works hard to find the right engine and build that really makes the car come alive. For Nissan, its flagship GT-R model that only appeared in March has already been a top seller, thanks to its sleek design and incredible feel. This car has shown such great success that Nissan has recently unveiled a new Track Edition which tweaks the car to provide better performance.

 

The Track Edition was developed by Nissan’s NISMO racing division, which excels in putting out race ready cars. The crew managed to add some more horsepower and better stability. The engine is a hand-assembled 3.8-1 twin-turbo monster that power out 562 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, slightly above the engine in other GT-R models. This provides top of the line acceleration and speed.

 

To go along with this extra power, #Nissan altered the design in order to make it as aerodynamic as possible, minimizing the impact of any wind. The straight-line stability and cornering ability has been improved to keep the car on the ground when making the tight turns you can find on the track. Nissan also installed bespoke Bilstein Damptronic suspension and an anti-roll bar which can stiffen up the car but ensures the weight is kept down. After all, what is the point of going fast if you can’t do it safely?

 

This GT-R track version will first be available in Europe, but Nissan has plans to quickly transition that market to America at dealerships like Coast Nissan. If you need a new sports car, come test drive the Nissan GT-R in any of its forms for an exhilarating driving experience.

The Best Nissan Cars Ever Made

The Best Nissan Cars Ever Made

While Nissan has been known to have manufactured some of the finest cars ever, some cars are better than the rest. Some of the best Nissan cars ever made are:

  1. 1970-1973 Datsun 240Z/Nissan Fairlady Z: Nissan is in the process of manufacturing Z cars for the past four decades. However, this car started the trend. Known for its very low base price, this car remains to be one of the best.
  2. 2008-Present Nissan GT-R: In 2008, the car manufacturer brought to the market one of the finest luxury sport coupes in the form of GT-Rs.
  3. 2011-Present Nissan LEAF: One of the finest electric cars in the market, LEAF would be known to be an industry initiator for factors more than one.
  4. 1989-1994 Nissan 240SX: With a rather low cost and a sporty look, this car was known for its tuning capability. These cars are still popular.
  5. 1963-1965 Datsun 1500: With a powerful engine and a bigger platform, this car had a very distinct Japanese character and a classic touch.
  6. 1999-2002 (R34) Nissan Skyline GT-R: Although never released in the United States, this car remains to be one of its best in the sports category.
  7. 1968-1974 Datsun 510: A rather comfortable family car, this vehicle was known for its very economic pricing and compact structure.
  8. 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX: Immensely powerful, this car helped Nissan to compete with its peers in the higher horsepower segment.

Spotted in California: the 2017 Nissan GT-R

Coast Nissan 2_GTRannivgold

The 2017 Nissan GT-R has been spied on California roads, undergoing testing. Though instantly recognizable underneath its camouflaging, the new model year receives some updates, including new taillights. GT-R program manager Hiroshi Tamura has said that he wants to improve upon the handling, ride quality and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels. While we don’t have many details (since the car was heavily camouflaged), this suggests that the new GT-R could be equipped with a retuned suspension, updated steering system and more sound deadening materials. Tamura has articulated that he plans to move the GT-R upmarket, as a “not just fancy, but real premium” offering. The car will retain the 3.8-liter biturbo V6 engine with 545 horsepower in the standard model and 600 hp in the NISMO edition. That said, we do not yet know if there will be any performance tweaks to the engine. Stay updated on the release details, or test drive the 2016 GT-R today at Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo.

Matt Simmons Tests the GT-R NISMO GT3

Nissan 4 playstation GT Academy winner tests

Matt Simmons, winner of the 2015 Nissan PlayStation GT Academy International competition, was able to get out on the testing grounds this past weekend. On the track, Simmons was able to test drive the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 race car at the Snetterton circuit in the UK. According to the automaker, the native Australian, has shown terrific work ethic and skill through the Nissan Driver Development Program. At the first test of the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, Simmons said: “When I go to any test, race day or tuition, it is still pretty surreal to wake up and think that’s what I get to do. It’s weird to adjust and say this is my life. You’ve got to make the most out of the tuition days and learn from these guys. It’s not every day that they can sit in your passenger seat and see directly what you are doing, and the feedback you get I amazing.”
