Latest Nissan GT-R news and reviews:

The current Nissan GT-R, also known as R35, was launched in 2007 as a successor to popular R34. R35 was redesigned from scratch and set many new benchmarks for the GT - R nameplate. It is the first GT-R using the Skyline name and the first GT-R using the V-6 engine (the previous generation used inline 6 units). More importantly, it is the world's first GT-R exported to the US, and Nissan is more popular in the sports car market than ever before. Finally, it is also the longest running GT-R model. The previous version was produced for 3 to 5 years, but R35 has existed in 2017 for 10 years. Despite a little longer, the current GT-R is still headline news for roads and trucks, the latter being prepared by Nismo in many versions. One of them is the GT 500 who just received the 2017 season's update.

Since 2008, Nissan is used in Japan's top super GT racing division, GT-R brought the company five times in nine years. However, after winning the series in 2014 and 2015, the GT - R was defeated by Lexus and its RC F - based GT 500 in 2016. Nissan wishes to solve this problem in 2017. This has made a major revision to the revised version of the GT-R rule book, GT-R made by Nismo.

Mr. Takao Katagiri, President and CEO of Nismo, says: "During the off season's test, we will further improve and we will make an excellent racing car in the history of motor sports." R stimulating fans' interest is that it is a new Lexus and Honda machine I will motivate fans to rank in the first round on the competitive grid. "

The new GT-R GT 500 debuted at the Twin Ring Motegi with the competitors' Lexus and Honda models and was again exhibited at the Nismo Festival in Fuji Speedway in December. The 2017 Super GT series is scheduled to start in April.

After the Skyline GT - R was canceled in 1973, Nissan revived the GT - R in 1989. Nissan participated in group A racing competition using the Skyline GTS - R. Nissan withdraws from GTS - R and wishes to switch to a more competitive model. The new generation GT-R, E-BNR 32 chassis (usually abbreviated to R32) is designed to dominate group A racing. Nissan Coke (Nissan's Powertrain Engineering and Manufacturing Facility) initially tested the 2350 cc drill with Twin Turbocharger and the Impact RB 25 engine. This setting produces 233 kW (313 hp) and uses the RWD drive train. According to Group A regulation, the turbo engine needs 1.7 times the displacement, places the new skyline at 4000 cc, and needs a 10-inch wide tire. Nissan decided to drive the car all-wheel-drive, knowing that they needed to use ten-inch wide tires. Nissan has developed a special race-oriented AWD system called ATTESA E-TS for this purpose.

The first skyline GT-R known for Nissan's internal name PGC 10 was released on February 4, 1969. When Prince was incorporated into Nissan in 1966, the Nissan Distribution Network was exclusively owned by the Nissan Prince Store. After being released for the first time at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1968, it was originally available as a 4-door sedan. It advertised at Nissan R380 and showed the skyline racing court. A 2-liter DOHC S20 in-line 6-cylinder engine with 119 kW (160 hp; 162 hp) at 7000 rpm and 176 Nm (130 lb-ft) at 5,600 rpm is installed. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. The first skyline GT - R is on a semi - trailer cantilever. It was offered as a coupe by the chassis code KPGC 10 in March 1971.

Skyline GT-R is the main product of Nissan's performance, demonstrating many advanced technologies including ATTESA E-TS AWD system and Super-HICAS four-wheel steering system. Today, this car is very popular with imported cars, trucks, time attacks and events organized by Tuning Magazine. Production of Skyline GT - R was completed in August 2002. The car was replaced with a new model based on R35 Nissan GT-R, V36 Skyline. Although these two vehicles are very different, the design features are similar and are manufactured at the same factory.
