The most evocative sports car this year, and in our opinion the next
decade, does not come from Ferrari or Lamborghini, but Nissan. The
Japanese manufacturer has a vehicle that is making fun of Darwin. The
Nissan GT-R is an endpoint, with the GT-R is the evolution.
The Nissan GT-R defies the laws of nature. At the Nurburgring
Nordschleife is he quicker than the Porsche 911 Turbo. Although the GT-R
has as much power as the 911 Turbo, it costs barely half. The G-forces
created by the GT-R in the curves are developed, are so immense that the
rings were fitted with special tires to prevent them from loosening.
Moreover, the run-flat tires with air, but filled with nitrogen. Air is not stable enough, the engineers found. The GT-R is the ultimate sports car,
with the performance of a racing car, the design of a stealth bomber,
but with the comfort of an everyday family car. The riding position is
perfect, the Bose stereo can be heard, there is room for two children
back in the case is even room for luggage.
Even the all-round visibility is excellent. It is not the first time
a Japanese automaker a sports car on the market that the European
competition for embarrass collected. Think of the Toyota Supra and Honda
NSX, sadly both defunct. Think also of the civilian versions of rally
cars which are at times set at us. That the Japanese have not forgotten,
proves the GT-R.
The Nissan GT-R is not just a car factory. He is in a completely
dust-free laboratory put together by yellow men in white overalls. What
ever crashed at Roswell was not a UFO, but a GT-R. GT-R comes “from a
galaxy far, far away”.
Never contained as much a sports car technology: four-wheel drive,
electronically controlled suspension, a defeatable electronic stability
system and a six-speed dual-clutch almost as soon as one switches gears
in F1. Compared to the GT-R is the computer of the first moon landing an
abacus.
Everything can also be adapted to your personal taste and driving
style, the suspension has three settings (comfort, normal and sport),
the speed of the gearbox is adjustable and the stability and traction
control are nearly or completely switched off (do not!).
So many bits and bytes, but then you have not seen the central display. Nissan was moving towards a producer of video games.
The angle of the accelerator, the efficiency of the turbos, torque
and brake force distribution. All information that you would not know
existed, let alone that she wanted you to know, let alone that you have
time to look at. The engineers developed a 3.8-liter V6 with twin
turbochargers, good for 485 horsepower. The torque is 588 Nm from 3200
rpm impressive.
You need only look to the accelerator or the GT-R runs off like a
rhinoceros by a gadfly has stung. From 0 to 100 in 3.5 seconds, top
speed 315 km per hour: there is still sand? Even at speeds above 200 km
per hour shaking the GT-R acceleration from his sleeve at the top of
natural limits.
The four-wheel drive normally drives the rear wheels. If the VDC
(Vehicle Dynamic Control) states that the stability is disturbed, up to
50% of power to the front wheels. Can go off the road, but it is
devilishly difficult. This makes the GT-R will be one of the safest cars
on the market.
The Nissan GT-R is probably the best car we drove along in years. Yet
there is a serious drawback: the organic component at the wheel. Few
drivers will be the potential of the GTR take full advantage. Finally,
still give the comfort equipment is very complete.
