Nissan GT-R NISMO N-Attack Package
Nissan
GT-R NISMO is famous for making the fastest lap production car at the German
circuit that can be had for under a half a million bucks. The fact that
upgrades made to the car to enable the incredible time, known as the N-Attack
Package, aren’t standard on the GT-R NISMO. Those upgrades were never offered
to GT-R NISMO buyers in the United States, but that’s all about to change.
Nissan
has announced that the GT-R NISMO N-Attack Package will be added to its lineup
for the 2016 model year. American tuning firm Steve Millen Sportsparts, aka
Stillen, has been selected by NISMO as the official installer and certified
sales agent for the package. For existing owners of the GT-R NISMO, the package
can be retrofitted but any modifications already made to the cars will need to
be removed and the car brought back to factory settings.
The
N-Attack Package brings the GT-R NISMO to the same specification that was used
to set the car’s blistering Nürburgring lap time, set back in late 2013.
Specific areas of modification include the aerodynamics, suspension and front
seats, with the most notable upgrade being a huge rear wing with two height and
12 angle adjustment options.
There are two types of packages on offer, one designed for street use and
another as a dedicated track package, though both are street-legal. One is the
N-Attack Package A, which sees the rear seats removed and replaced with a carbon
fiber bulkhead. It also gets new intercooler piping, new front and rear
limited-slip differentials and unique carbon fiber bucket seats. The other is
the N-Attack Package B, which keeps the rear seats and is the better option for
everyday use.
The N-Attack Package isn’t cheap. You’re looking at a cost of US$ 52,000 for the
N-Attack Package B and as much as US$ 98,000 for the N-Attack Package A. This is
on top of the US$ 150k you need to pay for the donor GT-R NISMO.
The
2016 Nissan GT-R NISMO N-Attack Package makes its U.S. debut at the upcoming
SEMA show, where Nissan will also show modified versions of its latest Titan
pickup and make an announcement about a Cummins project.
