2009 Nissan GT-R

2009 Nissan GT-R

” A TOP CLASS SuperCar ”

2009 Nissan GTR deserves this tagline, with its awesome looks… I’m just loving it. Well, The arrival of the Nissan GT-R in the US just whets the appetites of those who have been longing after the vehicle made famous in film and video games. If you’ve ever indulged in the video game Gran Turismo, you can easily speculate to this beast’s performance capabilities. Nissan Motor Co. has reported that over 2,000 pre-orders were made in Japan, prior to the official release early October 2007, which accounts for an entire month’s planned sales volume. It will surly be lining up in June 2008 for you.

Let’s have a look at some specifications and details of this Classy release of Nissan – The most eagerly anticipated new performance car of the century…

Price est.: $70,000

HP: 480 @ 6,400 rpm

Torque: 430 lb-ft @ 3,200 – 5,200

0 – 60 mph: 3.5 seconds

¼ mile: 11.7 seconds

For the first time ever, Japanese auto manufacturer—Nissan, will be gracing North America with their prized sports car. The Skyline will be sold simply as the GT-R. Why Nissan chose to drop the word Skyline is unknown, all that matters is that the GT-R is coming and should be available in the summer of 2008.

The GT-R’s engine is a cast aluminum cylinder block, 3.8 liter, twin-turbo V-6. Which bangs out a much needed 480 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, to hurl the 3,850 pound vehicle from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds. According to Swan, “Nissan left with a hot-lap claim on the Nordschleife—7:38—that puts its competition on the trailer. A current Corvette Z06 covered those 12.9 wicked miles in 7:49. A 911 Turbo is on record at 7:54.”

What makes the GT-R so unique, is the fact that it compares to sports cars twice its price—the Mercedes SLR McLaren, Porsche Carrera GT, and the Bugatti Veyron. Car and Driver’s Tony Swan compares the GT-R’s down-force, of 176 pounds at 186 mph, to the Porsche 911 Turbo’s ($50,000 more than the GT-R); which only produces 60 pounds of down-force, at the same speed.
