The
Litchfield LM20 is a deeply tuned version of the GT-R Black Edition and it has
been unveiled for public at 2017 Autosport International Show in
Birmingham, UK.
The Litchfield tuning company created the LM20 to
celebrate its 20 years in the aftermarket industry. Described as the ultimate
performance model of the GT-R ever produced by the Gloucestershire-based firm,
it is said to comply with day-to-day capabilities while not restricting itself
for track use. Its only 20 examples will be produced.
It generates a maximum power output of 666 bhp and a
whopping 814 Nm of peak torque. The heavily
tuned motor has its huge impact on the acceleration time as the LM20 can
achieve 100 km/h from standstill in a mouth-watering 2.5 seconds and the run to
161 km/h is accomplished in a scarcely believable 5.7 seconds.
It is claimed to have a top speed in excess of 320
km/h. The LM20 has gained
bespoke electronic aids like traction control and stability control while
Bilstein Damptronic suspension is connected to the chassis through a anti-roll
bars and aftermarket Eibach springs.
The Litchfield LM20 is equipped with 400
mm discs up front and rear. The modified sportscar is fitted with a set of
Michelin rubber and lightweight Rays Track Edition wheels. The increased
mechanical performance is complemented by the new carbonfibre body panels and
to differentiate it from stock GT-R the grille has received a revision. Priced
at £ 96,995 in the UK, it is £ 16,000 costlier
than the standard entry-level GT-R.
