2015 Nissan GT-R

Benefiting from a revised suspension that improves grip and handling, the 2015 Nissan GT-R rides on 20'' Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTT tires. The braking calibration has been re-tuned for a firmer, more linear response at everyday speeds, while the steering has been fine-tuned to reduce the effort required for in-town manoeuvres.

Outside, designers added an Adaptive Front Lightning System that automatically adjusts the angle of the light beam according to the speed of the car. The four LED units are configured with new intensive LED high beam and three different LED low beams including long-distance-illumination and wide-illumination.

The interior of the 2015 Nissan GT-R offers a choice of three colour schemes including a new pale ivory trim option. The steering wheel is trimmed in leather, while the part-aniline leather seats are further embellished with stitched accents.

Performance figures for the 2015 Nissan GT-R have yet to be announced.

2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO

Making its world debut, the 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO produces 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque from a 3.8L twin-turbo V6 engine (with new high-flow, large-diameter turbochargers used for GT3 racing). It uses custom Bilstein DampTronic dampers, and offers three suspension modes: Comfort, Normal, and R (for track applications).

The 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO will be available in five body colours: Brilliant White Pearl, Meteor Flake Pearl Black, Ultimate Metallic Silver, Vibrant Red, and the NISMO-exclusive Dark Matte Grey. It features a black front lip spoiler, side skirts, and rear wing.
