(from Nissan Press
Release) Nissan Announces New GT-R SpecV Model
TOKYO (Jan. 8, 2009) --
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced a new limited-production
Nissan GT-R SpecV model, which goes on sale at seven specially
selected Nissan dealers throughout Japan on February 2, 2009. The GT-R
SpecV is targeted specifically at enthusiast drivers who desire race
car-level performance in a street-legal vehicle.
NISSAN GT-R SpecV
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, interior and performance equipment and
modifications, raising the GT-R's unmatched performance to even
higher levels.
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. 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.
Performance is enhanced
with a new high gear boost control device, which momentarily
increases boost of the engine's twin turbochargers for greater
torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges to provide a more
powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to
operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy. Other
modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and
carbon-ceramic brakes that provide powerful stopping performance.
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 following seven dealer outlets, each of which is staffed by
mechanics with special GT-R SpecV training and who are knowledgeable
of racing circuit driving.
