Description[]

"A daily driver supercar; encapsulating hyper-performance in a new sense of value."

Since the announcement of its revival in 2001, the GT-R kept car fans around the world on edge until it finally debuted in 2007. In the end, the platform turned out to be a dedicated design created from scratch, no longer an evolution model based on the Skyline coupe.

The VR38DETT, the most powerful engine in Japanese car history, is a 3.8L twin turbo producing 473 HP. The power is transmitted to the ground through a trans-axle layout drive system, which optimizes the front to rear weight distribution by unifying the transmission with the rear differential. The front wheels are driven by a drive shaft that returns the power output back to the front of the car. The transmission itself is a 6-speed DCT, which allows highly efficient power transfer and quick gear shifts.

Carbon composites and aluminum die cast materials are strategically placed, and even the aerodynamic take into account front/rear balance. Using feedback gained from racing technology, everything was focused towards the pursuit of speed. The only thing that does not coincide with going fast is the 4-seater body, but this is a heritage of the GT-R that goes back even further than the 4WD system.

This revolutionary supercar had a major effect to the Nissan manufacturing organization as well. By introducing special craftsmanship in what is called the Takumi (artisan/craftsman) line, they maintained a precision production line but kept flexibility in their production structure. This system not only compensates for increases or decreases in production quantity, but also allows the addition of new, anniversary, or limited edition models, and widens the possibilities for the GT-R.

Trivia[]

GT5P gtr 07 veil

The unused thumbnail of the veiled GT-R in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

  • In the Japan-only GT5P demo, it replaces the Nissan GT-R Black Mask '07 beginning on October 23rd, 2007, the day the car was launched at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. That day, players playing the demo would see a cutscene revealing the car; the cutscene is archived on Gran Turismo TV's YouTube channel.
    • Its veiled version remains as an inaccessible leftover in the final game, with an internal name of "gtr_07_veil". The car's name assigned to the veiled car is "Coming Soon".[1]
  • Its multi-functional display (MFD) was designed in collaboration by Polyphony Digital and Xanavi.
