Nissan has wowed car lovers with the
launch of the all new-Nissan GT-R with newer sophisticated features and a
sporty new look.
The new GT-R comes with a more
aggressive front fascia and an enlarged grille to cool the hand-built potent
engine, along with carbon fibre material additions to the front bumper and a
reshaped hood to help the car better endure extreme speeds.
Managing Director Sales and Marketing
Xavier Gobille, Nissan South Africa who spoke on the new specs of the car
explained that the shift paddles are now mounted to the new steering wheel to
allow drivers to change gears in mid-turn without having to take their hands
off the wheel. The paddles themselves, along with the ventilation controls,
have improved feel and better sound when engaged or adjusted.
He added that the new chrome matte
finish “V-motion” grille represents one of Nissan’s latest design signatures.
It has been enlarged to provide better engine cooling and now features an
updated mesh pattern.
Mated to an award-winning 3.8-litre V6
24-valve twin-turbocharged engine – each unit handcrafted by its own Takumi
technician, The GT-R now delivers 421kW at 6800rpm and 633Nm of torque that
generates a hefty 600 horsepower.
“These exterior changes don’t result
just in a sportier-looking car; they create an aerodynamically efficient
vehicle, with less drag but retaining the same amount of downforce as the
current GT-R to keep the car stable at high speeds,” he concluded.
The GT-R was launched recently at the
South Africa Festival of Motoring
