Tokyo 2009: Nissan GT-R & GT-R SpecV For 2010

Nissan has used their homeland motor show to unveil the 2010 GT-R. The Tokyo Motor Show saw Nissan’s new GT-R for 2010 which comes with a new CARWINGS HDD-based navigation system, as well as a rear diffuser sourced from the more powerful, GT-R SpecV.

Performance wise the new 2010 Nissan GT-R has been enhanced with a new re-calibrated suspension that was created “to offer enhanced, premium quality ride comfort, while still providing the driver with a feeling of direct contact with the road surface.

The Nissan GT-R SpecV model has been updated with a new set of shock absorbers as well as Dunlop tires.

Finally, “both the Nissan GT-R and GT-R SpecV achieve improved low- and mid-range engine response, thanks to newly adopted hexagonal meshed catalyst cells that reduce ventilation/airflow resistance.”

Pricing starts at 8,610,000 yen for the standard GT-R, or 15,750,000 yen for a GT-R SpecV.

Since its introduction in the Japanese market in December 2007, the Nissan GT-R has gone through continuous evolution, remaining on the cutting-edge of multi-dimensional performance.

In addition, the GT-R’s suspension has been retuned to offer enhanced, premium quality ride comfort, while still providing the driver with a feeling of direct contact with the road surface. The accuracy of the front shock absorbers and springs has been increased and the stiffness of rear suspension radius rod bushings has been strengthened. Rear diffusers with cooling ducts, previously available only on the GT-R SpecV, have been expanded to non-SpecV models, improving cooling performance around the rear floor area.

The exclusive Nissan GT-R SpecV models receive revised rear shock absorber settings, enhancing the characteristic combination of supple ride comfort and flat, predictable handling. In conjunction with this change, SpecV now comes standard with Dunlop tires. The previously standard Bridgestone tires are available as a factory-installed option.

Finally, both the Nissan GT-R and GT-R SpecV achieve improved low- and mid-range engine response, thanks to newly adopted hexagonal meshed catalyst cells that reduce ventilation/airflow resistance.
