Like the previous version of the race winning legendary GT-R, the latest model is a showcase for Nissan's engineering talents. Features include an advanced full-time four-wheel drive increases traction and cornering power. Four-wheel drive system uses an independent transaxle 4WD (world first) for greater agility. This is a brand new 480 hp (353 kW) twin-turbo V6 that combines exhilarating power with the exhaust emissions are extremely low (Japanese regulation) and the best fuel economy in the sector. Light body, which uses a new package ("premium midship" from Nissan), the characteristics of cast aluminum, carbon fiber and steel tip and first-class aerodynamics CD only 0.27. There is a new dual-clutch transmission offers paddle shift gear changes quick and very easy to drive in full automatic mode, improving ease of driving. Big ventilated Brembo disc brakes offer great stopping performance.
"Nissan GT-R is an extraordinary car, a technological flagship for Nissan that shows our passion for cars," said Carlos Tavares, executive vice president for business and product planning. "It is designed for optimal high-speed performance in all road conditions. No car combines such speed, ease of driving, the ability to excel in all road conditions, such as euphoria, value for money and distinctive style. Like his predecessor who had been wearing a badge GT -R are known, the car is a marvel of technology, with extensive capabilities extraordinary. That is why we say it is for anyone, anywhere, anytime. "
For all those who - because the drivers of all levels can benefit from the exceptional performance of professional racers to those who just want stylish and attractive car to drive on weekends.
For anywhere - because this is a supercar that was developed around the world, twists and dips and peaks of the famous Nurburgring circuit in Germany, to Nissan High Speed Circuit in hot weather, Arizona to the snowy roads of Michigan. This is a unique supercar at home on dry asphalt, wet snow and wet roads, aided by sophisticated drive system with four wheels that offers exceptional traction and safety. Unlike the previous version of the GT-R, will be sold in two forms of training left and right around the world, including North American and mainland European markets.
At the time - because just as capable on hot summer days as snowy winter, day or night.
Technology highlights include:
An independent bridges and sophisticated four-wheel drive that continuously adjusts torque front-rear (and vice versa) depending on dynamic needs
Changes in the new racquet speed dual-clutch six-speed is too fast or fully automated for ease of driving
New high-efficient 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, mating great horsepower (480 hp / 353 kW), torque is a big difference (maximum torque 60kgm / 588 Nm), good fuel economy and low emissions (in accordance with the regulations in Japan ULEV). New technology includes plasma coating tedious to improve cooling efficiency and improve both power and economy
Aerodynamic body just 0.27 cd - it is one fine car in the world. This is especially common in a supercar that offers high front and rear support
A new organization using mild steel, carbon fiber and die-cast aluminum construction
Brembo drilled ventilated disc brakes and Brembo opposed monoblock calipers that offer great stopping power
Dampers, gear shift and VDC-R all manually adjustable, by simple switches on the dashboard, offering maximum comfort with ease of driving, or maximum performance
Screen multi-functional instrument, designed by the people who created the graphics of the Sony PlayStation Gran Turismo-Thursday
G-Force meter on the camera screen, showing both the (cornering) lateral (acceleration and braking) and transverse forces.
"The challenge is to build a car that is stable and quiet at this speed, the car is comfortable and easy to drive at that speed, a car that has excellent stability in a straight line over 300 km / h (186 mph), a car that can handle snow and ice and rain at high speed, a car that is also environmentally friendly and has a very high safety standards. It is my belief that the car is missing a mixture of abilities such as the new Nissan GT-R, "said Kazutoshi Mizuno, chief engineer and special vehicles for the product manager for Nissan GT-R, and former director of Nissan Racing Team and the chief engineer.
Mizuno describes the Nissan GT-R as a supercar 'multi-performance of the 21st century. "
"I think it creates a kind of a totally new car. It inherits the DNA of past great GT-Rs and packs the latest technology. The key factor is the use of natural forces of earth and high technology for human-machine interface, developed to monitor the performance of the highest . Our goal is to create a flagship model to promote our technology but also to develop a new type of supercar. Supercar traditionally been aimed at drivers with advanced skills. But our new "multi-performance supercar" can be driven fast and skillfully by anyone at any country road. "
Despite the very high level of technology, the GT-R sports car has some features of old, at least not that much of a car assembly, performed at Nissan's plant in Tochigi. Each machine is hand assembled by a single engineer (at Nissan's Yokohama) and thus each transmission.
The exterior design
The design is very similar to the Nissan GT-R Proto shown at the Tokyo Motor Show 2005 and, in turn, has much in common with the style of 2001 Nissan GT-R Concept.
"We wanted to design a car that looked uniquely Japanese - it is certainly not a European or American fast car," said Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President & Chief Creative Officer, Design and Brand Management, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. "We also want to highlight the function of car - a car that is easy to use and easy to drive and continue the legacy -. proud GT-R
Nissan GT-R is a typical muscle car look. Chunky, edgy, broad shoulders to the ground and the flat side, it's also one of the most aerodynamic cars in the world (Cd 0.27) as well as one of the most typical.
The style is based on the GT-R Proto near presented to the Tokyo Motor Show 2005 which was critically acclaimed big. The only significant difference in style - outside the small details - is the style front, changed mostly to allow protection of a higher crash test.
This is the first GT-R is not based on mass-volume Nissan vehicle (the last GT-R has been based on the Skyline). That gave design director Shiro Nakamura, product chief designer Hiroshi Hasegawa and their team great freedom to create a major Japanese supercar.
"This mission is to achieve a distinctive car, a supercar, but not fast normal car - it is chunky, practical and more muscular," says Nakamura. "The element of the function is the heart of the GT-R. It is not too low, it is very easy to get in and out, has good visibility and easy to drive. This feature is reflected in the design. This is definitely not a car, Italian German or American - it Japan obviously. It is very mechanical, almost like an animated robot - it is obviously made of metal, have broad shoulders and looks strong and muscular. The previous R34 GT-R has the same picture. It's like you can turn this car on video game.
"We do not want a nice elegant shape - we want the original form. Some people who buy this car will also have a Ferrari and Porsche. This car should be different from the others. I see this as a car influenced not by feminine beauty, like Italian cars, but by masculine beauty - it is a strong, well toned, muscular. It has the sides of a large and very tonic - part of the attitude of the muscle ".
Functional touches include folding open the rear pillar - 'very distinctive and contribute to air on the back, "said Nakamura, and also gives the GT-R a roofline that is very unusual, which I like." Fender scoop air also improves performance front of the car to improve aerodynamic airflow around the tires, very distinctive and almost animal They also help cool the big chested twin-turbo V6 .. Nakamura also feels very flat side of a very functional "They are flat like a well-toned stomach but they also help when judging the width of the car, plus they are very aerodynamic.".
A good aerodynamics is a key requirement for high-speed Nissan GT-R. "Designing a car is always a balance between engineering and aesthetics. But with the Nissan GT-R, we have very little conflict. We know that this car should display technology of Nissan. Our designers worked very closely with the aerodynamicists to ensure excellent air flow and A good downforce essential for a car that has such a top speed and stability are very good so fast. "
The new car also continues the proud tradition of the GT-R design. "It is quite square and edgy at first sight, though full of interesting curvatures and subtle shapes when you look closely. Like all great designs, the more you look, the more you see."
The pillars that stand, indicating that this is not practical supercar low. There are four round tail lights reflected in the four round exhaust directly below. Specific elements of style, borrowed from Nissan's past, including the square of the edgy PGC10 GT-R 1969, four round taillights KPGC110 GT-R 1973 and the opening slot length and a thin shell of R34 GT-R 1999.
The interior design
Like the exterior, the interior of the Nissan GT-R is an elegant but very functional. The cabin is unique, sharing no major components or design features with other Nissan models. Nissan GT-R supercar is, a new custom from the ground up.
Instruments are large, clear and simple, all directly in front of the driver to read the maximum. Circular ring analogue instruments in thick glasses and no tachometer to the place of honor, red-lined at 7000rpm. Tachometer is an easy-to-see display speed position.
More remarkable is the multi-function in the middle of the dashboard, which not only gives you a detailed log of your driving behavior - speed, g-force, fuel economy etc - but also gives details of a car mechanic Information - improving water, turbo and engine oil pressure , transmission oil, front / rear distribution plus hard steering angle, brake pressure and acceleration, as well as mapping the optimal speed fuel economy is better. Design of multi-function display, which also includes satellite navigation and audio controls, conducted in collaboration with Polyphony Digital Inc, designer of the Gran-Turismo video game series for Sony PlayStation.
In the middle of the dashboard, under the multi-function, is the pole tilted toward the driver. It contains options for air conditioning, audio and configuration switches, used to change the settings of components, including dampers, gear shift and VDC.
Center console, which sweeps the middle of the cabin, contains the red start button, leather shift lever (the same leather used for the wheels, to help tactility) and parking brake, which is in line with the center armrest. The shift lever selector select Park, Reverse, Neutral, automatic or manual transmission, and the manual is via paddles behind the wheel. There is a provision of a full automatic transmission, useful in heavy traffic or when relaxing rather than sporty driving is desired.
The steering wheel is small, comfortable to hold and trimmed with hand-stitched soft leather. Switches are placed on shelves inside, logical order.
Chairs are designed specifically for the Nissan GT-R. They are very secondary to increased lateral support and maximum comfort. This is especially best to support the body and reduces slippage. To relax the lower legs during a long trip, the front edge of the seat is unusually flat, also the chair and out easily.
Access to the front or rear seat that is easy and visibility is excellent. Although the car that give rise to both special "sense of occasion 'once behind the wheel - with the cabin sporting performance and dynamic handling - it's also very" normal "car in many ways, not so different from an everyday sedan. It is spacious, comfortable, bright and airy. It is far more convenient and user-friendly than other cars in this segment performance.
Nissan GT-R has the greatest range of seat adjustment of any supercar, to ensure that virtually all drivers can comfortably behind the wheel. Driver's seat is designed so that anyone from 144cm-190cm will feel comfortable behind the wheel. Guard rail length (228mm), seat height and tilt adjustable steering wheel also has a variety of adjustments (60mm tilt, 60mm telescopic), it is better to allow almost all drivers to find the perfect driving position. Fulcrum for the tilt mechanism is at the bottom of the steering shaft, in order to maintain optimized steering angle.
Like many high-performance four-seat coupe, the rear seat is more 'occasional' seats from the seat size. Although it is very comfortable for most adults on short trips, they are better for children or for carrying bags, jackets and other items. Center console sweeps the middle cabin, dividing left and right rear seat. Between the seats, there is provision for optional Bose system with two woofers sound.
Trunk large (VDA: 315L), easily big enough for two sets of golf bags or luggage holidays important. Luggage space is further enhanced by the run-flat tires that avoids the need for the spare tire in the trunk.
The chair has three colors: black, black with red highlight or gray.
Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President & Chief Creative Officer, Design and Brand Management, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.: "An underlying philosophy of the Nissan GT-R is that it is a quick an easy car to drive fast. So there is nothing intimidating about the controls. Everything feels instantly familiar, apart from a novel multi-function meter - which is also very intuitive, and we believe will be very popular with owners.
Machine
VR38DETT Nissan is a brand new engine designed specifically for the Nissan GT-R. 3.8-liter unit uses twin IHI turbochargers. Maximum power is 480 hp (353 kW) at 6400rpm. This makes the Nissan GT-R road car of Japan's most powerful and most powerful production car ever built by Nissan.
"More important than absolute power, is the way it is delivered, chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno said vehicle." This machine is very tractable and that means it's easy to drive, an essential quality of the Nissan GT-R. 60kgm maximum torque (588 Nm) delivered seamlessly from 3200-5200rpm.
It is also very efficient engine, reducing emissions and fuel consumption. Nissan GT-R supercar is the most efficient in the world in balancing speed, acceleration and fuel consumption. Improved environmental performance by Japan U-LEV satisfaction (Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) standards.
Machine high environmental standards is partly due to boring innovative plasma coating to improve cooling, increase fuel efficiency and power. Plasma sprayed cylinder liner bore only 0.15mm thick, against the conventional cast iron liners 2.6mm. Not only are they much better heat dissipation, increase efficiency, they are also lighter - saving about 3 kg in a V6 engine. To ensure sufficient lubrication of this sprayed on the cylinder liner in an aluminum block, special synthetic engine oil is used (Mobil-1 RP OW-40).
In addition, the system is completely independent intake and exhaust to produce higher yields and faster response. These inputs are fully balanced and exhaust systems increase air intake and reduce exhaust resistance, producing a gas flow quickly and smoothly. IHI twin turbochargers are very receptive.
Emission enhanced by the secondary air system, with air pump, which promotes faster catalyst reaction.
Advanced controls Nissan GT-R electronics respond quickly to changes in climate and altitude, ensuring optimum performance at all times. Accurate assessment of the air-fuel ratio further improves fuel efficiency and emissions. This precise control increases fuel consumption by five percent of high performance. During normal engine speed is low, the Nissan GT-R will typically generate about 40 kgm (392 Nm) of torque - good enough to pick-up and acceleration - and this high output allows optimum air fuel significantly improve fuel efficiency and cleaner exhaust . "When driving on moderate throttle openings - in other words, in everyday driving is normal - Nissan GT-R proved to be very friendly environment," said Mizuno. "His fuel economy advantage over rivals is magnified in such normal driving situations every day." In automatic mode, the transmission quickly select a high gear ratio, enabling the machine to climb with a wave of low-end torque.
Other technical innovations include cooling systems air conditioning thermostatically controlled oil for more efficient cooling. Engine oil is cooled by the cooling system and oil at extreme angles - including the Nissan GT-R is easily capable - scavenger pump maintains turbocharger oil flow. The structure of the collection of oil in a motor powered by a wet sump and dry side, which helps secure stable oil collecting and oil pressure in various driving scenes.
A collecting tank in the fuel tank always stores enough fuel to maintain fuel flow even under strong g forces.
Machines, such as transmission, all made by hand. A craftsman hand-assemble a complete engine. Special machine builders working in the field of "clean room" special Nissan GT-R Nissan plant in Yokohama.
Transmission
Nissan GT-R uses an all-new GR6-type transmission, exclusively developed for the car. Six-speed paddle shift dual-clutch is very efficient - unlike a conventional automatic transmission with torque converter, there is minimum power loss so response and fuel economy improved.
In the span of M (for manual transmission mode), paddle shift gives a very rapid change. These teeth continue to change rapidly accelerating, the turbo so it was one strong gust of strong sweetness.
Twin clutches make a significant contribution to the change in speed. There are separate clutches for the odd (1,3,5) and even (2,4,6) gears. When the car is running in an odd number of teeth, pairs of adjacent teeth are pre-selected and ready to make immediate changes in gear-shifting sequence. When downshifting, a synchronized "blip" the throttle rev control right to synchronize the engine speed for ultra-fast downshifts. Borg-Warner three-cone synchronizers used.
When the range R - the sportiest setting - is selected on the switch set-up, the control computer to predict the driver's next gear change based on throttle opening, vehicle speed, braking and other information.
Nissan GT-R uniquely offers a very fast speed shifter and automatic transmission. In the span (automatic transmission), changes in the car speed automatic, most fuel efficient. Higher gears are used whenever possible, the benefits of a big car 588 Nm of torque, and long and flat torque curve. Cars can be driven in sixth place for a long time at low speeds, and still offers good throttle response. Such behavior is benign, is at odds with the fastest supercar and its equivalent is one of the many unique aspects of the gems of technology.
E-TS electronic traction control and rear final drive with limited slip differential (for better power delivery) are both integrated into the bridge surprisingly compact and lightweight rear. By placing the trees in / out diagonally, the transmission rate and the car's center of gravity can be lowered.
A very useful feature and unusual Start Nissan GT-R Hill, Assist. Increased, where the car will automatically recognize, the system maintains brake pressure for about two seconds after the release of the brake pedal, making hill starts easy.
Suspension
Nissan GT-R has a new type of suspension offering excellent stability straight line, even more than 186 mph (300 KMH), the highest level of handling and braking in all situations - from urban trips, on snowy roads and muddy at the racetrack. The suspension is designed around the package 'Premium Mid-ship' new, and take advantage of a perfect load balancing of all four wheels.
Switch allows you to set the driver to access three different suspension modes: R (high performance), Sports (the normal setting) and Comfort (for city driving to absorb road bumps). The switch electronically changes the settings in place at DampTronic Bilstein dampers, specially developed for the Nissan GT-R.
Mode R, Bilstein feedback ensures flat cornering at high speeds and maximum. In two other modes - Sport and Leisure - electronically controlled dampers to produce a balance of handling / ride as possible (depending on settings). Special sensors measure 11 vehicle elements including vehicle speed, speed, lateral acceleration, speed, steering angle, demand torque, estimate torque, engine speed, brake oil pressure, normal acceleration, ABS anti-lock braking behavior and information to stop the vehicle.Brake
Nissan GT-R front and rear Brembo disc brakes are fully ventilated drilled steel large (φ380). They provide superb pedal feel and stopping power is great.
Full floating rotors stabilize braking while preventing heat distortion. The inside of the rotors have diamond-shaped ventilated ribs, to facilitate cooling, while cross-drilled rotors are also running as cool as possible.
Brembo monoblock six-piston calipers are used front and rear four-piston type. To generate strong braking force and prevent calliper distortion, racing-style three bolt structures are used.
Four-wheel driveNissan GT-R using the system most likely advanced four-wheel drive on a road car ever used. The four-wheel drive (ATTESA E-TS) optimally distributes power to the front wheels when needed. Of course, the rear wheel bias, up to 50 percent of torque can be fed forwards improving traction in difficult conditions - like rain, snow, ice or snow. FWD is also used to enhance performance when cornering on asphalt, improving traction and stability.
Special computerized control automatically adjusts torque front / rear split from zero torque to the front wheels, 50 percent of the total torque. Control is varied continuously, such as various sensors measure the speed of the car lateral acceleration and steering angle cross section, slip the tire and the road surface and yaw rate.
Nissan GT-R at an additional sensor is the yaw servo, which measures the difference between the target yaw rate calculated from steering angle, yaw rate detected by the sensor and the actual yaw rate sensor G. Front and rear torque is automatically corrected accordingly.
This system includes four-wheel drive Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC-R), Nissan GT-R, the electronic stability control system. Continuously monitors the vehicle's behavior. If the behavior is detected off-balance sheet - such as sliding or skidding - torque to the wheels will be changed to help stabilize the car. Electronic traction control is also equipped with a mechanical limited slip rear difference, preventing wheelspin and improving grip.
Hill Start Assist function is added to help the gradient begins. (At rise, the system maintains brake pressure for approximately two seconds after the release of the brake pedal).
