Nissan GT-R : DigInfo

DigInfo - (http://movie.diginfo.tv)
Nissan has announced the Nissan GT-R, a midship car which will hit the dealer showrooms in Japan on December 6.
Dubbed a multi-performance supercar by Nissan, the all-new GT-R uses a Premium Midship package, which is a more advanced version of the Front Midship package used on other Nissan vehicles. The new package includes the world's first independent transaxle 4WD developed by Nissan. The transaxle's layout places the dual-clutch transmission, transfer case and final drive at the rear of the vehicle, enabling vehicle weight to be evenly distributed throughout the car and giving the car a superb front-to-rear weight balance.


The GT-R's new 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 "VR38" engine features plasma-sprayed bores and a special twin-turbo exhaust manifold system. A secondary air management system enables the newly designed powerplant to provide approximately 40kg/m of torque during ordinary low-rev driving, giving an optimum air-fuel ratio for around-town efficiency. The new engine produces 480PS (353kW) at 6400rpm and a maximum torque of 60kgm (588Nm) from 3200 to 5200rpm. Also newly developed, the GR6-type dual clutch transmission features paddle shifting and a Borg Warner six-plate dual clutch for direct control.


Nissan has created every styling aspect to maximize the vehicle's driving experience. The GT-R's body is constructed with a combination of steel, carbon fiber and aluminum, providing a unique combination of stiffness and lightness. The car features a low coefficient of drag of 0.27, providing it with enhanced grip in all weather situations, while also enhancing fuel efficiency. The GT-R's hallmark four-ring taillights, efficient rear spoiler and large, integrated 120mm-diameter exhaust tips, provides the signature rear view of the GT-R, as well as optimizing airflow along the top and under the vehicle.

Sculpted performance bucket seats give the driver and passenger a comfortable driving experience. The instrument panel that surrounds the driver has all meters and multi-function meter at a uniform height to minimize the driver's head movement when traveling at high speeds. Each meter features a dial plate design that evokes the idea of engaged gears.


The GT-R's list of safety and environmental features include, for enhanced visibility inside and out of the vehicle, high-mounted LED stoplamps, bright LED rear combination taillights, super wide beam headlights, heated door mirrors and flat-blade wipers. Standard safety equipment includes a pop-up engine hood system for enhanced pedestrian safety, driver and front passenger air bag system, and ELR front seat belts with tension reducer. The driver and front passenger side air bag system and curtain air bag system are offered as options.

The top-of-the-line GT-R Premium Edition is priced at 8,347,500 yen (US$72,000). Nissan is aiming to ship 200 units per month.

[ph3n0ms]

72,000 dollars my ass. i can't find one under 90k in my state.

[atarigamer1]

Rear final drive for weight balance, but wouldn't they have to run two axles down the middle of the car, nearly doubling the what-cha-ma-call-it inertia? ..decreasing acceleration?

You know, same reason people put lightened flywheels and accessory drive reduction pulleys on their engines?

[micollision]

zr1 all the way cause nissans are GAY..............FAG RICER BOYS

Yeah probably high 11's but this isn't exactly a drag car. Would have a lot of wasted performance if you only take this baby to a drag strip =]
