GT-R Premium
It is a supercar. Handcrafted 485-hp twin-turbo V6 engine with dual clutch 6-speed transmission, ATTESA E-TS® All-Wheel Drive with patented independent rear-mounted transaxle, 4-wheel independent suspension with Bilstein® DampTronic® system, Nissan/Brembo® 15" two-piece floating-rotors with diamond-pattern internal ventilation and 6-piston front/4-piston rear monoblock calipers, 20" super-lightweight forged-alloy wheels with knurled bead area, driver-configurable Multi-Function Display system, developed in collaboration with Sony® Polyphony Digital and Clarion Co., Ltd. and Bose® audio system with eleven speakers, including dual subwoofers.
The history of the GT-R. Nine years after the Prince Motor Company introduced the Skyline in 1957, Prince and Nissan merged. A short three years later the Skyline GT-R was born, and what started out as a line of sedans marketed as luxury cars slowly began to earn supercar status. The car's 2.0 liter inline-six, a "relaxed" version of the R380 race engine, produced 158 horsepower. This allowed the GT-R to reign victorious at the Japanese Grand Prix, which launched Nissan's motorsports career and started the GT-R legend.
By 1972 the Skyline GT-R had amassed fifty overall race wins, but its presence in the consumer market was dwindling. After selling only 197 units in Japan in 1973, Nissan halted GT-R production. The company claimed that stricter emissions standards were the reason for the decision.
In 1989 the modern day GT-R came to life after a sixteen-year hiatus. The high-tech R32 GT-R was powered by a turbocharged straight-six engine combined with all-wheel Super HICAS steering and all-wheel drive. Two race-ready variants, the aerodynamic NISMO and the light weight N1, were produced for enthusiasts eager to hit the race track.
The R33 GT-R, introduced at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show, made its production debut in January 1995 with a slightly modified turbo engine. All-wheel drive became standard fare on all V-spec models, along with four-wheel ABS. This GT-R did the impossible, lapping the Nurburgring in under eight minutes.
In 1999 the R34 GT-R Skyline came on the scene as an even sportier car, featuring an Indas display that showed seven types of real time driving statistics. Sales were strong. Then at the thirty-fifth Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn unveiled the GT-R Concept.
The company put out a press release announcing, "Nissan will continue building the GT-R in the twenty-first century, providing the ultimate driving pleasure to even more people worldwide." Nissan did not disappoint. In 2002 a special-edition Nurburgring inspired GT-R featured a racing engine. NISMO hand built twenty street-legal "Z tune" GT-Rs with racing engines in 2004, each packing more than 500 horse power. Then in 2005 the GT-R Proto was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show. More buzz.
Now we come to the 2009 GT-R, a car that has already achieved a 7:38 lap at the Nurburgring. Under the hood is a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 producing 473 horsepower. This is the Nissan GT-R charged with erecting Nissan's famed Skyline banner in new markets the world over.ce mission finally includes American dealerships. Steven J. Ewing
