Nissan GT-R NISMO
Nissan introduced the track focused, GT-R Nismo at 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, as the world's fastest volume production vehicle around the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a lap time of 7:08.679 minutes driven by Nissan test driver Michael Krumm.
In the new model, power increases to 447.5 kW (608 PS; 600 hp) at 6,800 rpm and 652 N⋅m (481 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3,200-5,800 rpm. The 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) time changed to 2.5 seconds. Additional front and rear brake cooling ducts are added, and a full Nismo tuned suspension and brakes are installed, including a hollow 17.3 mm (0.68 in) rear stabilizer bar from the Nismo performance division.
The standard GT-R's aluminum trunk lid is swapped out for a full carbon fibre panel and additional spot welds and adhesive help strengthen the chassis. A front splitter with carbon fibre air ducts up front add to the special Nismo full aerodynamic package, while a large racing-style carbon-fibre wing completes the rear.
