Nissan unveils the revised GT-R

Nissan has unveiled the details of its 2011 model year Nissan GT-R, which is set to arrive in Japanese dealers on November 17th.

For 2011 the GT-R has received several enhancements which include improved engine output and torque, greater fuel efficiency, revised handling, a refreshed exterior with improved aerodynamics, revised interior treatment and new wheels and tires.

The improvements made on the Gt-R are part of the continuous advancement of the GT-R design, technology and performance since its debut in December 2007.

In 2011 the GT-R lineup is increased thanks to the addition of a racing circuit use-only "Club Track" edition and an ultra-exclusive "EGOIST" version that can be custom-ordered according to the precise desires of each individual customer. The lineup of the 11MY Nissan GT-R is completed with the "Pure edition," "Black edition," "Premium edition" and "SpecV."

After February 2011, the 11MY Nissan GT-R will start being released in North America, Europe and other regions. Nissan is considering introducing EGOIST in Europe and the Middle East, and the Club Track edition in Europe as well.

The changes in the revised GT-R gave the model greater body stability and strength, improved aerodynamics performance, a sportier interior and enhanced performance.

The engine featuring under the bonnet of the GT-R has had its power enhanced to 390kW(530ps) at 6,400rpm with maximum torque of 612Nm from 3,200 to 6,000 rpm.

Thanks to the modification in the boost pressure of the turbocharger, valve timing and air mixture ratio, reducing intake air resistance by enlarging the inlet pipe diameter, and reducing exhaust air resistance through use of an enlarged section of exhaust pipe the fuel economy has been improved to 8.5 km/l.

The new GT-R also features a new new SAVE mode, which optimizes driving torque and modifies the shift schedule to improve actual fuel economy when driving highways or open roads.
