2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo (Japan)
The facelifted Nissan GT-R Nismo is now available for order across
Japan.
It carries an 18,700,200 Yen (US$ 186,342)
starting price and benefits from a carbon fiber front bumper, redesigned
canards, updated mesh pattern for the dark chrome V-motion grille and
reinforced hood to avoid deformation at high speeds, combined to generate more
downforce than any other production car made by Nissan, up to date.
The enlarged 8-inch touch-panel monitor
with large icons takes center stage in the cockpit, along with a new Display
Command Control located on the carbon fiber center console, steering
wheel-mounted paddle shifters, redesigned dashboard, leather-wrapped Recaro
carbon fiber bucker seats with red Alcantara inserts, and Alcantara wrapped
steering wheel and center armrest.
Nissan's engineers have refined the GT-R
Nismo's shock absorbers, springs and stabilizers, the all-wheel drive has been
upgraded and the 3.8-liter V6 engine has been massaged to produce an additional
30 PS on top of the standard 2017 GT-R, up to a total of 600 PS, pushed to the wheels through a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Aside from the 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo,
the automaker has also launched the "Track Edition engineered by
Nismo" in the Land of the Rising Sun, described as "a fusion of
Nissan GT-R Nismo's rigid body structure and suspension, with the
specifications and form of the GT-R standard model". Prices for this
version kick off from 13,699,800 Yen (US$ 136,515).
