Nissan Confirms New, Higher-Performance GT-R NISMO Model - Nissan Online Newsroom
YOKOHAMA, Japan – NISMO is planning to work its magic on the famed Nissan GT-R as the flagship of a new range of performance models.
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd announced today that NISMO, its dedicated global performance road car and motorsports arm, is developing a new, higher-powered road version of the iconic Nissan GT-R.
The GT-R NISMO will be the third NISMO-badged model to emerge from Nissan's performance-oriented brand as part of a strategy to add a range of exciting, innovative performance models across the Nissan range.
NISMO, with a new global headquarters near Yokohama, Japan officially opening today, already has deep experience in developing and preparing the Nissan GT-R for the racetrack. That expertise will go into creating GT-R NISMO.
"It would be unthinkable for us to develop a range of NISMO road cars without including the GT-R," said Nissan President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn. "The standard road car is a global supercar and the GT-R's performance on track reflects the passion and talents of the NISMO team. The GT-R NISMO will be special and I can't wait to drive it."
Already a legendary name to millions of video gamers and motorsports fans around the world thanks to Sony's Gran Turismo® video racing series and Skyline's on-track success since 1969, it's no wonder that, together with acclaim for its road-going versions from leading automotive publications, the GT-R has achieved cult status.
The NISMO team's intimate knowledge comes from their involvement in racing the GT-R and is a good precursor to the development of the new NISMO road car.
"We know that enthusiasts around the world will be itching to know more about the forthcoming GT-R NISMO," said NISMO President Shoichi Miyatani. "It's too early to share any details yet, but fans can be certain we'll be applying all of our motorsport expertise to creating a GT-R NISMO worthy of the name."
The current production 2014 model year Nissan GT-R has received evolutionary design and engineering enhancements based around feedback from competing in last year's 24-Hours Nürburgring, and its success in Super GT and Global GT series.
As a result, the vehicle's overall performance has been dramatically increased, high-speed stability improved and ride quality vastly more refined.
In development now, the new GT-R NISMO will sit at the top of the new Nissan NISMO range of performance vehicles, and be available alongside the standard model in Nissan's specialized GT-R dealerships next year.
Technical specifications and performance figures will be released closer to launch.
If you remember the pictures I posted that was of Nissan's old Nismo facility that was closing down as they were moving to this new one. After seeing the Nismo Leaf and other Nismo vehicles can't wait for them to be taking things back over and running properly. Still a pain in the ass to get all of the parts in the US though through their dealer network.
