2010 Nissan GT-R competing in a Sprint Race at Motorsport at the Palace 2014.
The Nissan GT-R is a 2 door supercar produced by Nissan and first released in Japan in the era 07. It is the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R although it is no longer part of the Skyline range. The production version of the GT-R debuted at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, launching in the Japanese market on December 6, 2007. The official launch was seven months later on July 7, 2008. Universal Nissan in Los Angeles provided a customer with the delivery of a new GT-R, fresh from the production line at 12:01 am, on July 7, 2008. The Canadian launch was also in July 2008. Europe became the third consumer market, where it launched in March 2009. The large disparity in initial marketing between these regional releases is due to Nissan having to build GT-R performance centers where the car is serviced. Also the engine and rear-mounted dual-clutch gearbox are assembled by hand, thus limiting global production capacity to around 1000 cars a month. The Nissan GT-R is powered by the VR38DETT V6 engine, a 3,800 cc ( L; cu in) DOHC V6 with plasma transferred wire arc sprayed cylinder bores.[21] Two parallel Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (IHI) turbochargers provide forced induction.[22] Models manufactured between 2007 and 2010 produce a manufacturer-claimed engine output of 492 PS (362 kW; 485 hp) at 6400 rpm and 434 lb·ft (588 N·m) at 3200–5200 rpm.[23] The engine also meets California Air Resources Board Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards.[24] A curb weight of 1,730 or 1,736 kg (3,814 or 3,827 lb) with side curtain airbags is achieved using a jig welded steel chassis with aluminum used for the hood, trunk, and doors.[25] A rear mounted six-speed BorgWarner designed dual clutch semi-automatic transmission built by Aichi Machine Industry[26] is used in conjunction with the ATTESA E-TS system to provide power to all four wheels and along with Nissan's Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC-R) to aid in stability.
