2013 Nissan GT-R Elevated Performance

2013 Nissan GT-RNissan GT-R just gets better and better every year and 2013 will be no exception. The new 2013 Nissan GT-R now has enhanced response, better stability and sharper handling. The model will go on sale in the spring next year, showing-off its new four-wheel drive and great responsiveness.

The original version launched back at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show delivered a total amount of 473 HP; the most recent model – Model Year 2012 – went up to an impressive 530 HP; and things aren’t slowing down for the Japanese automaker. In fact, this Nissan model has received a round of improvements, which complement perfectly the “beast” which seeps under its good: the 550 horsepower (405 kW) 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine.

Here the lessons, that the brand have learned after this year’s Nürburgring 24-Hour, are applied by the engineers thus effecting in enhanced response in both the mid- and upper-rpm rev ranges.

Details around this model are still scarce and the brand will reveal full prices and exact performance specifications closer to car’s launch. Nevertheless, some technical changes were disclosed.

The engine for instance has new high-output injectors, which more concisely control fuel injection in order to enhance mid-range and high-rpm response.

Furthermore, new relief valve for the turbocharger bypass suppresses the rapid decrease of forced injection pressure, again helping to sustain response. Moreover, new cam bolts have been installed on the front suspension to enhance camber accuracy and stability when cornering.

The torque has been increased as well thus carrying capacity of the driveshafts to the hub bearings and improving the reliability in high-stress situations.
