2014 Nissan GT-R and GT-R Nismo unveiled at Tokyo Motor Show 2013

Nissan has unveiled the 2014 editions of the GT-R and the GT-R Nismo, the most extreme version of the Japanese supercar. Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn, introduced the two cars at Yokohama, Japan.

Sales of the 2014 GT-R, which offers more comfort, higher refinement and better build, begins on December 2, first in Japan and then in other markets worldwide.

The GT-R is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine that churns out 545PS of power. Dubbed the Godzilla by its fans, the GT-R clocks 2.7 seconds for 0-100kmph run with a top speed of 322kmph. The power is put to the tarmac via a dual clutch 6-speed transmission. The body is built of steel, carbon fibre and die-cast aluminum to achieve high stiffness and light weight.

The multi-LED headlights in the GT-R now get ASF (Adaptive Front lighting System)

The suspension setup has been tuned to offer more stability and grip. The car now gets Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTT tyres that lend better hold on roads and improved steering response in corners. The Brembos braking calibration now offer a more firm and linear response.

A new paintjob called Gold Flake Red Pearl is also available with the GT-R

The steering has been tweaked to improve in-town manoeuvrability and highway driving.

The multi-LED headlights now get ASF (Adaptive Front lighting System) which automatically adapts the angle of the beam with the speed of the car. At high speeds, actuators in the lamp unit adjust the angle of the projectors to project the light further. The four LED units are configured with high-beam and three different low-beams including long-distance-illumination and wide-illumination. The signature four-ring tail light adorns the rear and a new paintjob called Gold Flake Red Pearl is also available.

GT-R Nismo

Nismo is short for Nissan Motorsports. The GT-R Nismo takes the already powerful GT-R and uprates it to generate a staggering 600PS of power and 652Nm peak torque. To handle the extra power and fine tuned for track performance, the Nismo gets tweaked suspension, brakes and chassis. The car also boasts of improve aerodynamics to increase downforce and reduce drag. The interiors get Alcantara and Recaro seats. Contrasting stiches lend it a sporty look.
