2015 Nissan GTR

 

INNOVATION THAT REDEFINES.
It is the ultimate expression of a company famous for making passionate drivers' cars. When introduced, the GT-R® completely rewrote the rules. And then, after it had turned the world on its ear, we continued to improve it. Because we choose to lead. To create. To inspire. With an unmatched blend of technology and soul, the GT-R is a singular supercar, so intuitive anyone can drive it. So capable, it can be driven anytime and anywhere.1 And for 2014, an all-new Track Edition raises performance to an even more amazing level. Nissan. Innovation that excites.TM

A SUPERCAR MUST:
1 Achieve a top speed over 186.4 mph.
2 Have a power-to-weight ratio of 8.8 lbs./hp.
3 Lap the Nürburgring in under 8 minutes.

Before you rewrite the rules, you must establish them. So we boldly penned the absolute minimums the GT-R would need to reach. When the GT-R launched in 2009, we not only met our original goals - we shattered them.

And while some might have rested on their laurels, that's not the Nissan way. Instead, we immediately started looking for ways to further develop the GT-R. The results speak for themselves: a top speed of 196 mph, and an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 7.0 lbs./hp. During the development stages, the 2012 GT-R recorded a breathtaking 7-minute, 24.22-second lap of the Nürburgring.


MASTERY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS FOR ROAD. OR TRACK. OR NEARLY ANYTHING IN BETWEEN.
At the heart of the Nissan GT-R's anyone, anytime, anywhere1 performance is an easy-to-use 3-mode system. Three switches allow for on-the-fly adjustment of specific performance parameters for the transmission, suspension and VDC stability control.2 This is supercar performance with amazing flexibility at the touch of a switch. model, followed by an even more focused model for 2014. How best to test the ongoing refinements?

MORE THAN JUST MUSCLE: New features for 2015
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 2015, that includes a new recalibrated suspension that reduces load fluctuation between the four wheels, and keeps 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.

ONE MAN. ONE ENGINE. 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 aluminum 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.

MAKING PERFORMANCE OUT OF THIN AIR
For supercars, air is the enemy, to be avoided as much as possible. But Nissan took a unique philosophy to win this battle. Building on Nissan's extensive racing experience, the GT-R spent two years at the rolling-road wind tunnel at Group Lotus in Europe and 1.5 years in Yoshitaka Suzuka in Japan fine-tuning the secrets of bringing racecar aerodynamics to the street. Continuous development means that the 2014 GT-R enjoys an incredibly slippery 0.26 coefficient of drag, impressive downforce for traction and control, and superior airflow management and cooling of key components.

Out of sight, but not out of mind.
With traditional vehicles, air hitting components underneath the vehicle creates drag - slowing the car and creating lift - reducing grip and traction. Because traditional wind tunnels leave out a key component in design - the effect of the airflow of the road moving under the car - Nissan tested the GT-R in a unique wind tunnel with a "rolling road" that moves beneath the vehicle. The result: a series of composite panels beneath the vehicle (a technique derived from racecars), that not only channels cooling air to the running gear, but also makes sure the underside remains clear of obstructions, creating downforce that literally pulls the car to the road.
