Nissan has launched the updated GT-R in Japan, with some mechanical and cosmetic tweaks.
On the mechanical front, the Nissan GT-R gets modified dampers and ECU to provide better stability on corners and improve steering feedback. The powertrain management systems and the flywheel housing bearings have been tweaked to reduce NVH levels. The brakes also get new parts to make them less noisy, and vibrations on idle have been reduced too.
The Nissan GT-R continues to be powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine that makes 538bhp and 64kgm of torque. The V6 is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with paddle shifters. Other changes come in the form of a modified trunk carpet to improve sound deadening, and modified run-flat Dunlop tyres that, according to the brand, will improve the GT-R's ride quality, and straight line and tough road stability.
Cosmetically, the GT-R gets new headlights with four LEDs each, and optional split-spoke RAYS alloys in a blue-black chrome finish. On the inside, it gets an optional package in either red or ivory, which includes new leather upholstery, hand-stitching on the front seats, accents on the instrument panel, steering wheel, door handles, armrests and gear knob.
