The Philosophy
Developed around the multi-dimensional Nissan GT-R sports car, which was introduced
just more than one year ago to universal global acclaim, the new SpecV model builds
on the original's "ultimate supercar that anyone can enjoy driving anywhere, at
anytime" philosophy - taking it to an entirely new level of "oneness between man
and machine."
The SpecV model includes unique body, sheds roughly 60 kg when compared to the
standard GT-R. Interior and performance equipment and
modifications, raising the GT-R's unmatched performance to even higher levels.
Exterior modifications
The GT-R SpecV's new exterior features include a carbon fiber rear spoiler, a
carbon fiber grille, and carbon fiber brake ducts. The SpecV is available exclusively
in Ultimate Black Opal (RP) body color.
Two seater interior
Inside, the SpecV's unique two-seat interior (non-SpecV GT-R models also include a two-place rear seat) offers special Recaro
carbon fiber bucket seats, while carbon fiber insets embellish the rear center storage
box, instrument panel and other trim areas.
Enhenced Performace
Powered by a 3.8-liter V6 with 434 ft-lb of torque, the twin-turbocharged
engine cranks out 480hp. That last figure is the same as the GT-R, but the
boost controller installed by Nissan adds more torque in higher gears by
additional, short bursts from the turbos,to provide a more powerful feeling
of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed
for improved fuel economy.
Titanium coated accessories
Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes
that provide powerful stopping performance.
Nismo developed alu Wheels
The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminum wheels
that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International
(NISMO) since September 2008. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels,
together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip
tires, combine to deliver the SpecV's exceptional performance.
The SpecV will be sold at the seven dealer outlets in Japan (for the time being), each
of which is staffed by mechanics with special GT-R SpecV training and who are
knowledgeable of racing circuit driving.
