Nissan GT-R V-Spec to have close to 510kW (that's 693bhp!) |
If the new Nissan GT-R’s 353kW isn’t enough for you, wait until the debut of the GT-R V-spec, which promises 510kW of power courtesy of an increase in boost for the twin-turbo V6 engine.Caught here at the Nurburgring test track in Germany, the GT-R V-spec has been set a target lap goal of under seven minutes and 25 seconds for the tricky, demanding circuit. That's 18 seconds faster than the cooking GT-R that is already quicker than a Porsche 911 Turbo.
The GT-R V-spec is also rumoured to have shaved 150 kilos off its (admittedly hefty) 1740kg kerb weight by the use of carbonfibre body panels and lighter, more effective carbon-ceramic brakes.
Those stoppers are fed cool air via a revised front splitter that boasts several new air intakes.
It’s not clear when the GT-R V-spec will be unleashed on the public. The standard GT-R comes to Australia in early 2009.
