NISSAN GT-R
BEAUTY DEFINED BY PURPOSE
EXTERIOR DESIGN
Rather than being designed to the demands of aerodynamics, the GT-R sculpts the air to its needs – becoming a force of nature as much as a force to be reckoned with.
Larger grille openings allow more cooling air to key components. Reshaping the front fascia helps direct air around the front wheel wells, reducing drag.
Redesigning the GT-R’s side skirts helps prevent air flow from being drawn underneath the vehicle, allowing for more consistent downforce and grip. The area around the C-pillar has been refined to reduce turbulence, and to help accelerate air flow toward the rear of the body.
The rear of the GT-R’s rear fascia has been extended at the sides to accelerate air away from the back of the bumper, helping to pull hot gases away, to cool the exhaust.
The head lamps feature four LED units to create an extremely natural light, featuring Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) that automatically adapts the angle of the light beam according to the speed of the car. At highway speeds, actuators in the head lamp unit adjust the angle of the projectors to project the light farther.
The Nissan GT-R boasts tail lamps that reach iconic status. They are synonymous with Nissan GT-R, if only for the fact that people are used to seeing them as you leave them in the dust.
Fanatical attention to detail. On GT-Rs finished in Super Silver, a craftsman uses both hand and eyes to inspect the body of the GT-R. To bring out any imperfections, three different light sources – fluorescent, halogen and diluted flood lighting – are used to see various types of qualities in the paint as if it were at night, daylight or simply under intense scrutiny.
Vibration testing, laser measurements, and comprehensive inspections by experienced specialists are performed on every Nissan GT-R to ensure long-term functionality.
INTERIOR DESIGN
A tradition of craftsmanship makes the GT-R a supercar that will take your breath away – even when sitting still.
DECADES TO PERFECT THINGS YOU TOUCH FOR A SECOND.
Turn an air vent that was studied, designed, and developed by a quality expert to operate flawlessly for years. Rotate a switch that’s been subtly etched on the outside to enhance its feel. Or let your eyes travel across a dashboard that comes from a single Nappa leather hide, hand-selected for tone, and free of even the smallest imperfection. This is attention to detail bordering on obsession.
Available leather appointments on the centre console, door panels, and shift lever surround you in comfort, while hand-stitching and available semi-aniline leather on the seats are a tactile and visual feast.
Available Recaro leather-appointed front seats are built for performance. These bolstered sports seats help keep you in place, while cutouts in the driver’s seat cushion facilitate leg movement. The distinctive black leather with red accents revs up your interior.
INFORMATION DESIGN
Enhancing the way you get information lets you focus on what matters most – the pure enjoyment of the drive.
The Display Commander lets you dial in your world, allowing you to control key functions through GT-R’s multi-touch screen. By rotating the dial, or pushing it to the left or right, you can scroll through all menus, and move selections around the screen.
The combination meter uses meshing gears as its motif. The tachometer is placed in the centre, with the large-scale shift indicator on the upper right, supporting the driver with immediate readability when driving on the circuit.
