Nissan GT-R V-Spec [Spied]
April7


A spy photographer has snapped photos of what appears to be a prototype for Nissan's long-rumored, long-promised GT-R V-Spec. Caught as it was unloaded off a truck at Nissan's Nürburgring workshop, this test car has some visual differences from a standard GT-R. The visible changes are certainly subtle, and not as far-reaching as some had expected, but the differences are present nonetheless, suggesting that Nissan's GT-R — which already leaves a Porsche 911 Turbo gasping in its wake — is being prepped to be even more formidable.


Nissan has also set a sub-7 minute 25 second Nürburgring goal for the GT-R V-Spec — 18 seconds faster than the current car.

Underhood, the GT-R V-Spec's turbocharged mill will see an increase in boost, raising output to 550 horsepower — up from the standard GT-R's 480 horsepower. In addition to the power boost, the V-Spec will also shed 330 pounds.

This test car gets a revised front splitter, which sports some additional air intake slits, presumably to feed more cooling air to the brakes. New six-spoke wheels also house what appear to be a revised braking system. The golden Brembo brake calipers were an ever-present feature even on the first GT-R prototypes, but they're a no-show on this tester. Could we be looking at an upgraded ceramic composite braking system?

With a curb weight of 3,836 pounds, the GT-R is no featherweight. And while the standard GT-R obviously overcomes any weight penalty in heroic fashion, it's compelling to imagine a GT-R that's some 300-plus pounds lighter. The V-Spec is rumored to shave at least that much weight thanks to the use of carbon fiber body panels, and other assorted techniques. The prototype photographed has a portion of its rear wing blacked-out, suggesting it is one of the carbon fiber pieces that will make up the V-Spec package.

Once this GT-R is fully prepped for testing duty we hope to get a closer look to assess any other weight-saving steps Nissan may have taken.

After seeing the "base" GT-R rolling on its Rays 20" wheels, this thing looks seriously underwheeled sitting on those TEs. A testament to the fact that Nissan is all about function over form on the V-Spec iteration of the already beastly R35.

Awesome finds guys. This will be very interesting to watch for the improvements.

Yep...proud to be the first who post it.
And...shame to be the second who repost it.

You better search in the forum for half hour prior posting to make sure you are not reposting or there will be some retards just come in to say "Repost" and leave the thread without any appreciation.

i am so glad the v-spec will have a roll cage... finally a car that i don't need. this version is going to be so race ready, i probably won't want to drive it everyday.

i think i'm going to be pleased with my premium gt-r for quite sometime.

Hope it goes 0 to 120 in 10 secs......

V-Spec has lapped the ‘ring in a mere 7min 25secs – that’s at least 13 seconds quicker than the standard GT-R.
