Nissan GT-R SpecV

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced a new limited-production Nissan GT-R SpecV model, which goes on sale at seven specially selected Nissan dealers throughout Japan on February 2, 2009. The GT-R SpecV is targeted specifically at enthusiast drivers who desire race car-level performance in a street-legal vehicle.

Developed around the multi-dimensional Nissan GT-R sports car, which was introduced just more than one year ago to universal global acclaim, the new SpecV model builds on the original's ''ultimate supercar that anyone can enjoy driving anywhere, at anytime'' philosophy - taking it to an entirely new level of ''oneness between man and machine.'' The SpecV model includes unique body, interior and performance equipment and modifications, raising the GT-R's unmatched performance to even higher levels.

The GT-R SpecV's new exterior features include a carbon fiber rear spoiler, a carbon fiber grille, and carbon fiber brake ducts. The SpecV is available exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal (RP) body color. Inside, the SpecV's unique two-seat interior (non-SpecV GT-R models also include a two-place rear seat) offers special Recaro carbon fiber bucket seats, while carbon fiber insets embellish the rear center storage box, instrument panel and other trim areas.

Performance is enhanced with a new high gear boost control device, which momentarily increases boost of the engine's twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy. Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes that provide powerful stopping performance.

The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminum wheels that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) since September 2008. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels, together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip tires, combine to deliver the SpecV's exceptional performance.

The SpecV will be sold at the following seven dealer outlets, each of which is staffed by mechanics with special GT-R SpecV training and who are knowledgeable of racing circuit driving.

 

mmmmm want to drive. BUT not the biggest fan of the wheels.

 

dont like the wheels or exhaust tips but that purple color is nice

 

They said that it's offered exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal, so does that mean that it'll only come in Ultimate Black, or the Ultimate Black is specially for the Spec V, but you can get it in different colors?

 

Wheels diff not for this car But the car is sick wish I could afford one tho

 

How much weight did it lose?

 

About 125. 1,736 kg (3,830 lb) is the curb for the normal GTR.

 

Nice car, but still one heavy sports car. And personally I think they should have deleted the non functional(no purpose but aesthetics) spoiler to differentiate from the regualar gt-r. I can't think of no other super car that uses a non functional spoiler.

 

What happened to 3500lbs and 530bhp?

 

I'd rather have the new Audi R8 with 50hp more and 200lbs lighter. Plus its cheaper and probably built better.

 

its a waste!

i still love the R33 and R34 all the way!

 

i seriously thuaght this car gonna have 500+hp and on a nise day hit 0-60 in 2.9 to 3 sec flat!

 

R33 or R34 skyline for me. Im sticking with the old school

 

485hp?, I thought the output was projected at 530hp. Also the weight suppose to be like 300lbs less than the regular GTR..uhmm.

Awesome car though, I am wondering if the transmission has been altered a bit.

Wait a minute. Now I recall that the new 09 GTR have a little bump in power so that makes the regular 09 GTR have the same power of the GTR Spec V? , that narrows it down to handling, braking and weight advantage(no power advantage)

I guess you could make a regular GTR weight the same as a Spec V with swapping some components, mainly exhaust, smaller battery, removing floor mats and lowering the fuids of your windshield wipers(My guess).
