2013 Nissan GT-R
Nissan announced today the 2013MY GT-R, an updated version of its most popular supercar, which will go on sale on November 24 in Japan and arrives in European, U.S. showrooms in January 2012. As expected, the 2012 Nissan GT-R comes with the same 3.8-liter V6 engine but the output delivered was increased from 390kW to 404kW (550PS/545 hp) from 6,400rpm with maximum torque of from 612 to 632Nm(64.5kgfm/463 lb-ft from 448 lb-ft) from 3,200 to 5,800 rpm. According to Nissan, the engine delivers more power due to improved intake efficiency, better airflow resistance and an improved exhaust valve cooling performance.
Moreover, the transmission was also improved thanks to a strengthened design of the shift fork arm and a firmer fixing bearing for the flywheel housing. A special differential oil R35 COMPETITION Type 2189E (75W140) is now used in every GT-R. The GT-R's suspension in RHD versions has been set asymmetrically due to the fact that the propeller shaft for front wheels is located on the right side of the vehicle. Now available as an option are the NCCB (Nissan Carbon Ceramic Brakes), which can be installed on the GT-R Premium Edition and EGOIST grade. The interior quality has also been enhanced by the addition of blue lighting inside the tachometer ring to match the shift position indicator light.
Moreover, the Rear View Camera will not be offered as standard on all GT-R models, while the Bose sound system woofers, have been changed to Bose Precision Sound System woofers that were developed for the EGOIST grade. The last addition to the 2013MY will be the "For TRACK PACK", designed for customers who want to enjoy a more visceral driving experience. This version was developed with NordRing Company in Japan and offers revised suspension settings, extra brake cooling (front and rear), and aluminum-alloy wheels from Spec-V made by Rays (with black quartz chrome color coating). Moreover, the front spoiler with carbon air duct has been exclusively made for this edition and is installed as a set. In order to reduce the weight, this edition will be a two-seat configuration with quilted fabric mats in place of the rear seats. The front seats are covered with leather and high-grip fabric.
