NISSAN GT-R NISMO
BORN FROM MAVERICK ENGINEERING AND A DESIRE TO WIN
BORN ON THE TRACK
NISMO HERITAGE
The launch of Nissan GT-R NISMO is but the latest chapter in the our story of pioneering spirit, innovation and passion for motorsport.
THE EVOLUTION OF WHO WE ARE
Since 1984, NISMO has been the official in-house racing arm of Nissan. Started by a group of maverick Nissan engineers over 30 years ago, NISMO is synonymous with passion, expertise, and the heights of Nissan performance – not to mention decades of racing dominance. Every time you see a NISMO badge, you’ll know it’s something extraordinary. Engineered with brilliance, designed with an undeniable edge, and fueled by passion without a redline.
A HISTORY OF WINNING
In 1936, a 747 cc Datsun Midget took the checkered flag, and we haven’t stopped racing – and winning – since. From Japan to Le Mans, Dakar to Daytona, our dedication to innovation has made Nissan Motorsports a dominant force. Whether it’s a humble sedan like the Skyline developed into the legendary Nissan GT-R, or machines that will shape the future, including the Nissan Delta Wing and the all electric LEAF racer, we race what we build, and we win what we race.
ZERO COMPETITION
Hail to the King. Around Germany’s legendary Nürburgring, the Nissan GT-R is royalty. But on September 30, 2013 the Nissan GT-R Nismo didn’t just break the world volume production car record, it obliterated it, with a timed lap of 7:08.679.
THE ULTIMATE GT-R
NISMO ENGINE/HANDLING/BRAKING
Pure. Undiluted. Awe-inducing. With 600 ps of fury combined with unmatched control. From its high-capacity turbos to its specially tuned suspension, Nissan GT-R Nismo is simply the dominant supercar of its time.
SUSPENSION TUNING
The Nissan GT-R Nismo’s suspension set-up is tuned for stunning agility, road holding and handling finesse, without compromising refinement. The springs and custom-developed Bilstein DampTronic dampers in the front and rear suspension are specially tuned to deliver exceptional grip levels and progressive handling response at the limit.
RAYS FORGED WHEELS
The rigid forged metallic black 6-spoke RAYS forged lightweight aluminum 20-inch wheels, manufactured by RAYS, are inspired by Nissan’s legendary GT500 racecar. They feature knurling inside the wheels to help keep the tires from slipping around the wheels under heavy acceleration or braking.
CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
AERODYNAMICS
Nissan GT-R Nismo’s aero package improves road holding and minimizes drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance.
CARBON FIBRE TRUNK & REAR SPOILER
NISMO-tuned aerodynamic exterior elements designed to increase downforce, including carbon fibre trunklid and spoiler. The Nissan GT-R Nismo’s handmade dry carbon rear spoiler features a special coating that allows carbon fibre “weave” to be felt by the touch.
CARBON FIBRE FRONT FACSIA
Designed and tuned specifically for the job the carbon fibre front facsia helps to increase downforce while being lightweight, yet incredibly strong. The widened front bumper configuration helps to lower drag.
CARBON FIBRE SIDE SILLS
The carbon fibre side sills continue the work started at the front of the car - helping to generate an additional 220 pounds of downforce compared to standard Nissan GT-R models.
CARBON FIBRE REAR FASCIA
An elongated yet tapered rear bumper design helps to keep drag to CD 0.26. Additionally, the NISMO-tuned carbon fibre rear fascia - while being aerodynamically designed to help ensure downforce is equally spread front to rear at all speeds - also helps to lower the center of gravity.
NOW BOARDING
NISMO INTERIOR
The Nissan GT-R Nismo cockpit is relentlessly focused. Recaro seats, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, and signature NISMO red accents throughout anticipate an experience like no other.
COMBI METER
The combi meter has a carbon-like finish, and tachometer features a red face. The meter hood is also dressed with Alcantara.
ALCANTARA COVERED NISMO STEERING WHEEL
NISMO racers influenced the design of the steering wheel which is covered in Alcantara, with three spokes, a red center mark and red stitching to give the best combination of grip, feedback and comfort.
NISMO SHIFTER
Shift into gear in style. Nissan GT-R Nismo’s red leather-wrapped shifter knob is at home, surrounded by red stitched housing and carbon interior.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Ergonomically sculpted carbon-fibre-backed reclining RECARO seats (Europe/Japan) comfortably, yet firmly, support the driver and frontseat passenger.
