Even since Nissan introduced the KPGC10 Skyline GT-R to the Japanese home market in 1969, Americans have pined for the lightweight, high-revving and tight-handling machines, forced to wait the 25 requisite years when they could finally legally be imported to American shores without having to pass U.S. emission and NHTSA safety laws. It wouldn’t be until 2007, at the Tokyo Motor Show, when Nissan dropped a couple of bombs on the motoring press. First, the 2009 GT-R would be officially imported to America and, second, a 2009 GT-R had lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife (aka the Green Hell) with a lap time of 7:38, beating the all-time sports classic Porsche 911 Turbo.
Fast forward to November 2013, when Nissan took the wraps off the new GT-R NISMO—a 600 HP Godzilla killer holding the world's volume production vehicle lap record at Nürburgring with a 7:08.679 lap time. With power coming from a 3.8L V-6 sporting twin turbos lifted from the GT-R GT3 race car and funneling power to a rear-mounted, paddle-shifted dual-clutch 6-speed semi-automatic gearbox (designed by BorgWarner and built by AMI), the NISMO rips the pavement with an ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system. The car speeds from 0-60 MPH in a mere 2.5 seconds and demolishes the quarter mile in 11.1 seconds at 125.3 MPH.
This GT-R, finished in Jet Black Pearl with red accents, has only accrued 755 miles on the clock since departing the factory. The GT-R NISMO isn’t just about going fast, but exceptional handling as well. Built on Nissan's Premium Midship (PM) platform, the hybrid unibody is assembled on ultra-low-tolerance jigs, similar to those used in race car construction, with die-cast aluminum front shock towers, a carbon-composite front cross member and Bilstein DampTronic shocks with Track, Race and Race Plus modes, hollow anti-roll bars and a stiffer set of springs over the base GT-R.
Brembo disc brakes are found on all corners, helping to slow the 20-inch wheels shod in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 tires. Inside, front passengers are deftly held in place by a set of Recaro black leather sport seats with red Alcantara inserts, part of the Premium Interior Package, the driver receiving a multi-function black Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, full gauge package and secondary controls angled towards the left seat. The centerpiece of the instrument panel is a video game-inspired, multi-function display that was created in collaboration with Polyphony Digital, makers of the Gran Turismo electronic game.
