A
harder, better, faster version of any sporty car is a welcome addition,
but when it’s Godzilla we’re talking about, then the talk suddenly gets
a heck of a lot more interesting.
So apparently Top Gear has acquired information which would suggest that
a Nismo GT-R is definitely in the works, and that it is being
engineered to achieve a time of under 7m 18s on the Nürburgring, making
it faster than the all-new Porsche 911 GT3 which manages the feat a
claimed four seconds slower.
Carlos Ghosn, the CEO of Nissan, announced that a Nismo version of
the Nissan GT-R was coming, adding that it’s going to be a special car.
Now, the new information backs that up as we are promised extra power
from the twin-turbo V6 engine; a power figure of over 570 hp, versus the
stock GT-R’s 545 hp output.
In addition, a visual makeover is also in order, though we don’t know
how far that could go – a nice subtle widebody kit and different
spoiler would be enough for many, along with some different rims and
bigger Nismo-branded brakes…
The car’s complicated suspension system will also be retuned (and
probably stiffened) for better on-track performance – hopefully, they
don’t overdo it, because it will, after all, be a road car.
