Kaizen philosophy

Since its global launch here almost two years, the Nissan GT-R has been welcomed by more than 50 awards and honors. Sales in Europe have started in early 2009, and Nissan has already delivered more than 1600 GT-R total to its customers.

This success is due to the fact that the GT-R is not just a vehicle designed and developed in recent years to break records, but the fruit of forty years of experience. Forty years which have followed the Skyline GT-R the most powerful and effective than the other, to achieve the result we have before us today: the sedan seats four fastest in the world.

In the spirit Kaisen, philosophy of continuous improvement, process improvements continues today with the GT-R R35 2010.

More refined

Externally, the front and rear bumpers have a double layer of clear varnish which enhances the color depth of finish.

Inside, the dials of the tachometer and rev counter are ringed aluminum. The rear seats are more careful insulation, improving the sophistication of the interior. Since September, the GT-R is equipped with a combined "audio and navigation" last generation, upgraded and more ergonomic: DD40 GB iPod port / USB, GPS with 7 inch touch-traffic and POI info provided by Michelin mapping extended to Turkey, Eastern Europe and Russia.

Mechanical level

Ride comfort is growing due to change in front suspension calibrations at the springs and dampers. The handling is gaining momentum due to the increased responsiveness and even more precise control of body movements. Behind the increased rigidity of the bearing radial suspension results in better feel and increased responsiveness in turns.

The control logic torque distribution between front and rear axle has been modified to reduce the "blocking" of the rear axle in the evolution of the GT-R at slow speed, especially when the fluids are still cold.

The logic of transmission has been revised to ensure a downshift additional sixth to fifth in automatic mode and adopt a more dynamic pattern of descent relations for the passages of the third and fourth in third in the second. Two conduits were added to the aerodynamic diffuser in carbon fiber positioned at the base to ensure better cooling of the exhaust box.

In addition, the pipe connecting the oil cooler is new and largest section, in order to lower the temperature of the gearbox. Another modification, transmission media before were stiffened to reduce vibration in the driveline under high loads.

The balance of the electronic brake force distribution was slightly shifted to the rear, resulting in greater braking stability in the dry, while a design change of part of the rear brakes reduces noise , and a reworked air deflector increases rear brake cooling.

The treatment of emissions has been revised to put the GT-R in accordance with the Euro 5 without loss of power or performance. It results in a reduction in CO2 emissions by 3 g to 295 g / km.

For even more thrills

For those who want even more, Nissan opened the book of orders for the GT-R SpecV exclusive until December 15.

Even at 149 000 euros, the GT-R SpecV will remain a good investment, the 40 best products for all of Europe will soon become true collectors.
