Nissan GT-R Nismo

“LEAKED” A day before it’s debut. 595 HP and a 7:08 ‘Ring time. Insane numbers.

The twin-turbo V6 3.8-liter engine from the GT-R develops 545 HP (401 kW) and 463 lb-ft (627 Nm) of torque. Nismo revised the intake and exhaust systems, installed bigger turbochargers from the GT3-spec model and modified the ignition timing.

The 3.8 V6 now develops 595 HP (438 kW) and 480 lb-ft (650 Nm). Nissan says the engine can take even more power, but the tranny simply would not be able to cope with that.

The Nissan GT-R Nismo rolls on 20-inch wheels wrapped in rubbers from Dunlop. 255/40RF-20 run-flat Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST

The GT-R Nismo with the optional track package will cost less than 200,000 USD (about 148,000 EUR / 124,000 GBP). Pricing details will be unveiled officially tomorrow.
