Car: Nissan GT-R

New Features For 2016 Nissan GT-R

With a Twin Turbo V6 producing an earth-shaking 545 horsepower, it’s easy to overlook everything else GT-R® has to offer which is a lot. For 2016, that includes a new recalibrated suspension that reduces load fluctuation between the four wheels, and helps keep your wheels tight on the road for a smoother, more sophisticated ride. We’ve also added advanced headlights that adjust their illumination pattern based on your driving speed, and an all-new interior option with pale ivory semi-aniline seats, and contrasting hand-stitched details.

3.8-liter Twin-turbocharged V6 Engine

Press the accelerator and you feel more than raw power. The 545-hp twin-turbo V6 has massive strength, but it’s highly refined, even earning a ULEV-II emissions rating. Rather than traditional cast-iron liners, each cylinder features a unique plasma coating with an independent intake system for each bank of cylinders. The powerful twin turbo takes advantage of a Premium Midship (PM) design for balance, where much of the engine sits back in the chassis. Uniquely brilliant, built to perform.

By using a powerful twin-turbo V6 rather than a larger and heavier V8 or V12, the Nissan GT-R^® exploits its PM design for ultimate balance. In the PM design, much of the engine sits well back in the chassis behind the front axle for crisper turn-in, quick steering response and overall balance. The lighter, more compact engine also pays dividends in performance and other interior room.

Handcrafted

From start to finish, each GT-R^® engine is handcrafted by its own master engine-builder in a climate-controlled "clean room." Each twin-turbo V6 is precisely assembled from lightweight, highly durable aluminium and magnesium parts. It takes the exacting standards of the plant's most talented and devoted engine builders to produce the engine that has redefined what a supercar can be.

Every GT-R^® engine is hand-assembled by a single technician one of only eight allowed the honor in a dust-free, temperature-controlled clean room. Once complete, the engine is tested. It goes through 44 minutes of bench testing and break in, where the engine is red lined for 10 solid minutes. When the entire GT-R^® is built, it is put through its paces on the Tochigi Test track.

From the beginning, we knew GT-R® was going to redefine the breed in terms of performance, refinement and capabilities. So we brought together the AS Class drivers the top development drivers at Nissan to create a vehicle that would excel not just at one racetrack, in one kind of weather, or when driven by one master driver, this supercar would have to be for “anytime, anywhere,” and be as rewarding to a novice enthusiast as it would to a veteran racer.

GT-R^® NISMO^®

Lock up your sportscars, the GT-R® NISMO® is on the loose. During testing in 2007, the GT-R® posted an official 7-minute, 38.5-second lap the fastest lap ever for a production car around Germany’s legendary Nürburgring. On September 30, 2013 the GT-R® NISMO® posted a timed lap of 7:08.679 nearly 30 seconds faster an incredible feat of engineering and driver skill. Watch as the 2016 GT-R® NISMO® keeps breaking records and breaking hearts.

NISMO^®-tuned Performance start with a handcrafted engine, add 0.26 coefficient of drag, 481 lb-ft of torque and 600-HP, and you end up with more than just a car, you end up with performance art.

NISMO^® aerodynamic body design carbon-fiber front and rear fascia, side sills and rear spoiler. No line is wasted with NISMO® design, and the GT-R® is no exception. Carbon-fiber adds lightness while the spoiler increases downforce by 220 lbs making it a smooth and speedy ride.

Multi-LED Headlights With Adaptive Front Lighting System

Efficient, daylight-spectrum, multi-LED headlights create a distinctive “lightning” motif. But these four LED units do more than look the part. They adjust their illumination pattern based on vehicle speed, and cast a super-wide beam to enhance visibility, especially when cornering.

Hybrid Body Structure

To provide a rigid platform, Nissan engineers pioneered a unique hybrid body using high-strength steel, die-cast aluminum, carbon fiber and composite materials.

This handmade, dry carbon fiber spoiler is significantly lighter and stiffer than a spoiler made of traditional or “wet” carbon fiber. What does that mean for the GT-R^®? First off, lighter is better every little bit of weight saved on the car means time saved on the track. Secondly, the added stiffness in the spoiler decreases flex and increases stability, which translates into more down force and better handling.

Precision Built

During assembly, "jigs" are used to hold body panels and components precisely in place. Vibration testing, laser measurements, and comprehensive inspections by experienced specialists are performed to ensure long-term functionality and to maintain the highest levels of accuracy and precision during assembly.

Hand-polished Finish

Unique to the optional Super Silver paint color is its extensive hand-polishing between each coat performed under three different light sources, to reveal any imperfections.

Under body Aerodynamics

The average car has exposed working gear under the car, where wind whips around, creating lift, and slowing you down. The GT-R^®, of course, isn’t an average car. Its under body is virtually covered by composite panels, giving it a flat, aerodynamic surface.

At the front of the car, the flat under body is accelerating the air and channeling it over the brakes, cooling them down. At the back, a carbon fiber diffuser takes that accelerated air and slows it down, creating a vacuum effect that helps the GT-R^® stick to the road, or the track.

The GT-R^® interior sports a sleek trim of carbon-fiber and charcoal brushed-metal throughout, highlighting the ergonomic, modern design of the performance cockpit. Bold touches like leather on the steering wheel, shift knob and emergency brake handle and premium stitched leather inserts on the door panels and around the center console create an aggressive interior look. Sculpted performance bucket seats and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat ensures that virtually all drivers will be comfortable behind the wheel of a GT-R^®.

Drive Wheel, Suspension and Break

Handling duties are managed by a sophisticated 4-wheel independent suspension system mounted to high-precision 6-point front and rear sub frames. A special Bilstein® DampTronic® driver-adjustable shock absorber system utilizes multiple vehicle information systems to provide appropriate damping forces and a high level of control for a variety of driving situations.

Two clutches, no clutch pedal. The GT-R^® 6-speed sequential dual-clutch transmission shifts as quickly as 0.15 seconds when in R-Mode. Inside are separate clutches for the odd and even gears. When in an odd-numbered gear, the adjacent even-numbered gear is "pre-selected," ready to make the shift immediately. Then, to achieve ideal front-to-rear weight distribution, the GT-R^® clutches, transmission and transfer case are mounted in the rear of the chassis, creating the world’s first independent rear transaxle for an All-Wheel Drive vehicle.

To complement its incredible horsepower and torque, the GT-R^® features awe-inspiring braking power. Nissan/Brembo^® Braking System feature 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers for stronger, more equal clamping power something you’d expect to see on an all-out competition machine. For extreme rigidity with light weight, the caliper is machined from a single one-piece “mono block” of aluminum.

Instead of the traditional 50/50 torque split between front and rear axles, the electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive system provides nearly all of the available torque to the rear wheels, and can send up to 50% of torque to the front wheels. This provides the steering feel and response of a rear-wheel vehicle, while giving the added confidence that only AWD can offer.

Monitor

Engage reverse, and a camera mounted discreetly on the rear of the vehicle shows you what's directly behind you, on the dash-mounted screen in front of you. The system includes a wide 180º view, parking is a quick and easy affair.

Automatic On/Off Headlights respond to light conditions outside, turning on or off when necessary, and leaving you to concentrate on the road ahead. When it comes to tire pressure, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) takes away the guesswork. Using an icon on your dash, the system notifies you when tires aren't properly inflated.

Bose® Audio System With Active Noise Control.

Engage The 11-speaker Bose audio system works with the performance of the GT-R. The aluminum speaker mounts in the doors give the body rigidity, which has nothing to do with music and everything to do with performance. In the back, two subwoofers between the seats were designed to use the trunk as a giant bass enclosure. New Active Noise Control technology uses a microphone in the ceiling to identify undesirable low-frequency engine sounds and neutralizes them with sound waves of the opposite phase. The result a quieter driving experience which still preserves the invigorating sounds of engine performance.
