Engine
The heart of a legend
Nissan challenged convention at every point in the GT-R’s development. Instead of a large, heavy, constantly thirsty engine, the Nissan GT-R is powered by a precision-engineered, twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6, which produces a monstrous 565 hp and an equally immense 467 lb-ft of torque. It’s also built with strength in mind – from a closed-deck cylinder block to a ladder frame structure – for added support.
IHI® turbocharger
An IHI® turbocharger is mounted on each bank of the engine. Exhaust manifolds, inspired by racing technology, have optimized turbo flange attachment points, allowing for easier servicing and potential tuning without touching the exhaust manifold. To ensure there is no turbo lag as torque rises, GT-R employs high-precision electronic controls.
Hand-formed titanium exhaust
Notoriously difficult to work with, titanium helps ensure proper cooling from the engine’s massive output. Each exhaust is hand-built by a master craftsman, specifically designed for an individual vehicle, and is given a burnished finish – to highlight the fact that this is a high-performance vehicle that’s meant to be enjoyed.
Engineering and Standards
Shaping the masterpiece
One engineer, one engine
Each GT-R bears a badge of honour. With a mere five in existence, the Takumi – master craftsmen of the highest order – are the only people on Earth who are allowed to hand-assemble GT-R engines. Fittingly, each GT-R is affixed with a plaque carrying its Takumi's name.
Tested by our best drivers
AS Class drivers – the top development drivers at Nissan – help create a vehicle that will excel on the road as well as the racetrack. Drivers include an Autobahn expert, a marketability expert and a “Ringmeister” who tests the GT-R at the legendary Nürburgring. [[2204]]
Transmission
Shifting how you drive
The longer a shift takes, the less time power is being put to the ground. The GT-R’s sequential, 6-speed dual-clutch transmission can snap off lightning-quick gear changes when in R-Mode.
Dry sump lubrication system
To ensure stable lubrication for the transmission, even when cornering at high Gs, a dry sump lubrication system is employed. [[2203]] The system sprays transmission oil directly onto the gears, reducing friction and increasing reliability.
Two clutches, no clutch pedal
The Nissan GT-R’s 6-speed, dual-clutch transmission employs separate clutches for the odd-numbered gears (1st, 3rd, 5th) and the even-numbered gears (2nd, 4th, 6th). When the car is in an odd-numbered gear, the adjacent even-numbered gear is preselected and readied to make the next shift immediately.
Handling Technology
Performance never wavers
While most sports cars stay in the garage or make a hasty retreat during winter, the Nissan GT-R powers through with ATTESA ET-S®: one of the most advanced All-Wheel Drive and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) systems ever used in a production vehicle. [[2036]][[2090]]
All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
Handles every season
Instead of the traditional 50/50 torque split between front and rear axles, this electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive system sends up to 100% of the available torque to your rear wheels, and can redirect up to 50% to the front wheels on slippery terrain. That delivers the quick steering response of a rear-wheel drive vehicle, with the added confidence that only AWD can offer. Plus, it works with Vehicle Dynamic Control to monitor your steering and braking. If the system detects any oversteer or understeer, it can compensate by reducing engine speed and applying select brakes. [[2036]][[2090]]
Performance Switches
Dimensions of driving
GT-R’s easy-to-use 3-mode system is always ready. Three switches allow for on-the-fly adjustments of specific performance parameters for the transmission, suspension and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system. [[2090]]
R-Mode
R-Mode is for maximum performance. It readies the 6-speed transmission for quicker shifts, and adjusts the suspension, shocks and Vehicle Dynamic Control system for high-performance handling. [[2090]]
Normal Mode
For daily driving, choose Normal Mode, which configures the transmission, suspension and Vehicle Dynamic Control for a smooth, refined ride. [[2090]]
Special Modes
Use Save Mode for long-distance driving and gentler torque delivery on slippery surfaces. In Comfort Mode, the damping force of the shock absorbers is variably adjusted for more comfort. Off Mode disengages your car's Vehicle Dynamic Control system. [[2090]]
Chassis Design
The pursuit of precision
In another break with convention, Nissan GT-R’s Premium Midship platform places the engine farther back in the chassis for enhanced handling. This unique layout also mounts the transmission with the transfer case in the rear of the GT-R, creating an independent rear transaxle in an All-Wheel Drive vehicle.
Performance Components
The driver is in the details
From the very frame on up, every aspect of the GT-R has been designed, scrutinized and crafted to deliver unparalleled performance. One press of the accelerator or turn of the wheel is all it takes to realize you're driving something very different, and very special.
Forged-aluminum wheels
The Nissan GT-R’s rigid forged-aluminum 20" wheels, manufactured by RAYS®, utilize knurling – an anti-slip manufacturing process – to help them keep their grip on the wheels while the car is heavily accelerating or braking. [[1585]]
Monoblock calipers with floating disc rotors
The brakes feature six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers – something you’d expect to see on a competition vehicle. For extreme rigidity and lighter weight, the caliper is machined from a single “monoblock” of aluminum.
Bilstein® DampTronic® shock absorbers
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. [[1515]][[1532]]
Multi-material structural components
The GT-R body gets maximum strength from carbon aluminum die-cast steel: a combination of carbon-fibre, die-cast aluminum and steel. For added structural rigidity, the suspension’s strut tower bar is made of a lightweight carbon composite.
Aerodynamics
Sculpt the wind
Relentless tuning has given the GT-R’s aerodynamics an incredibly clean drag coefficient of just 0.26 Cd. While you see a substantial, powerful sports car, it punches through the air like a low-slung, mid-engine supercar.
Coefficient of drag
Careful attention to the shape of the front fascia, C-pillar and extensions at the lower portion of the rear bumper allow the GT-R to effortlessly cut through the air.
Aerodynamic downforce
Downforce adds grip and enhances the feeling of control. By reinforcing the hood and fine-tuning the design of the front spoiler and side sill extensions, GT-R prevents air from being drawn underneath, which allows it to more consistently apply downforce.
Cooling
By manipulating airflow, the GT-R can help bring cool air to the turbochargers, allowing for a denser fuel-to-air mixture. That means enhanced power and performance.
Exceptional from every angle
The average car has exposed working gears underneath – where the wind whips around – creating lift and slowing you down. But the Nissan GT-R isn’t an average car. Its underbody is covered by composite panels, giving it a flat, aerodynamic surface. At the front of the car, this flat underbody is accelerating the air and channeling it over the brakes, cooling them down. At the rear of the car, a carbon-fibre diffuser takes that accelerated air and slows it down, creating a vacuum effect that helps GT-R connect to the road, while a duct in the diffuser helps cool the titanium exhaust.
