[. . . ] In accordance with the company's policy of continuously improving its products, Nissan International reserves the right to change at any time the specification and the vehicles described and shown in this publication. Nissan dealers will be informed of any such modifications as quickly as possible. Please check with your local Nissan dealer to receive the most up-to-date information. [. . . ] This continually monitors the vehicle's behavior. If off balance behavior is detected - such as sliding or skidding - torque to the wheels will be altered to help stabilise the car. Electronic traction control is also fitted to rear mechanical limited-slip differentials, preventing wheelspin and improving grip.

This 3. 8-litre unit uses twin IHI turbochargers and produces 485 PS (357 kW) at 6400rpm. This makes the Nissan GT-R one of the world's most powerful road cars. `More important than the absolute power, is the manner in which it is delivered, ' says chief vehicle engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno. `The engine is very tractable and that means it's very easy to drive, a key quality of the Nissan GT-R. Maximum torque of 588 Nm is delivered seamlessly from 3200-5200rpm. The engines, like the transmissions, are all hand made with one craftsman handassembling the entire engine. The dedicated engine builders work in a special Nissan GT-R `clean room' area of Nissan's Yokohama plant.

The airflow from the engine bay through to the floor tunnel also produces downforce, in the same way race cars do. This successful balance of low air-resistance and great downforce is a result of cooperations with Group Lotus and Yoshitaka Suzuka.

To generate strong braking force and prevent calliper distortion, racing-style three bolt structures are used. Drilled discs improve cooling The Nissan GT-R is equipped with huge WW15" (380mm) diameter front and rear Brembo fully ventilated drilled steel disc brakes. They give superb feel as well as immense stopping power.

The new multi-function meter, developed in conjunction with Polyphony Digital Inc, designer of the Gran Turismo series for Sony PlayStation, is situated in the central part of the dashboard. [. . . ] Such quick gear changing maintains the turbo boost, so acceleration is one strong powerful seamless burst. There are three transmission modes available, selectable via a dashboard switch. R mode - the sportiest setting - speeds up the Nissan GT-R's already fast shift changes. Normal mode - offers fast, precise gear shifts. [. . . ]
