Nissan’s GT-R Adjustments
[1].jpg)
With car companies tweaking line-ups and creating new out of the old, it’s no small wonder that Nissan is unveiling a new, updated GT-R with a higher price tag and a few extra features to satisfy customers. The updated GT-R boasts more power and an elevated chassis along with the elevated price tag, improving handling and giving drivers more pounce for the bounce.
The GT-R V-Spec gains 5 horsepower on its predecessor giving it 478 horses overall. With the increase, Nissan has improved engine management through the computer and added the horsepower boost without changing the overall power. Nissan has mastered the art of distribution instead, giving the engine its 5 horse boost with a few touches to the computer and finer tolerances on the manufacturing line.
Fuel economy has also improved on the new GT-R, giving the vehicle an upgrade from 19.3 mpg to 19.5 mpg in Japan’s cycle, plus a slightly larger 19.6-gallon fuel tank.
The GT-R’s chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno continues to think of ways augment the car’s chassis. The latest round of revisions brings better shocks and recalibrated front spring rates to sharpen the car’s handling, improve the smoothness of the ride and create more stability.
