We still have until 2018 to wait on the Nissan GT-R R36, the successor of the prevailing R35. To the waiting time for all Skyline-aficionado’s to soften, here we have listed what we already know about Nissans iteration of Godzilla.
1. He goes on the Vision Gran Turismo concept appear
Piece of life imitates art. The whole concept car that Nissan for the Playstation game designed is the model for the new GT-R, Nissans’s head of design Shiro Nakamura has already let slip that we have elements of the front and back can see in the supercar. At the unveiling, called Nissan that the car a ‘look at the future of fast Nissans.
2. It is a hybrid
Also Nissan, the brand with the Leaf first walked in the elektrificatieparade, will the new GT-R back on electric motors. That left former Nissan senior executive Andy Palmer already intimated, and also Nakamura was there last pretty strongly about: “it will be a hybrid.”
3. There is a V6 from the Le Mans racer used
Ben Bowlby, the brain behind the racing car of Nissan, was last clear. The 3.0 twin-turbo V6 from the racer of Nissan is the blueprint for the engine of the new GT-R. This block features direct injection (duh) and an integrated turbo. Together with the above-mentioned e-power and a battery, we may so, a large amount of horsepower to expect. Rumors mention about 560 hp from the six-cylinder engine, supplemented with 250 hp of the elektropakket.
4. You can count on a Nürburgringtijd under 7 minutes
Matter of evolution. The current GT-R Nismo does it in 7:08, the following dive under the magical 7 minutengrens. Pin me there but on.
5. Count not on a lightweight car
The weight of the GT-R is something about for years gemekkerd. By default, the weight of the current GT-R 1740 kg, the NISMO version explains 1720 kg in the scale. The new will no doubt be a bit lighter, but he may simply not too light. Kazutoshi Mizuno – the mastermind behind the first GT-R, but in the meantime, is no longer employed by the company – had that years ago already suggested to Top Gear:
“All journalists say GT-R is heavy, heavy, heavy – it should be lighter, lighter, lighter! I say, journalists need to develop a more professional level of thinking! More study! More thought! The GT-R needs to be this weight. A car with less weight does not handle. Lighter weight can be dangerous, and it will not be driveable by all customers.”
According to Mizuno it all has to do with downward pressure:
“An F1 car weighs 560kg, more than 600kg with the driver. How much downforce does an F1 car generate? Around 1300kg. So what is the total weight? 1860kg. A GT1 racing car weighs between 1200kg and 1300kg, plus downforce or 600kg, the actual weight on the car is 1800kg”
Slightly more than two years. Than we know… Until that time we throw out the documentary National Geographic about the car and the manufacturing process make it through.
