Nissan GT-R: the best the enemy of the good

Nissan did not work on the idea of ​​a new generation GT-R, because the potential of the current generation of the supercar GT-R has not been exhausted.

The iconic GT-R is available from 2007. Of course, during this time it affected many changes in the design of the chassis and powertrain, but, in fact, he is still the same R35.

As the head of the program Top Gear GT-R Hiroshi Tamura, despite the ongoing modernization supercar GT-R engineers still have work to do. For example, the settings in the steering of the bodywork above the axle kinematics and so on. All this is subject to the same problem — not just to bring the supercar to a new level, but also to consolidate it in the premium class.

This explains the fact that the current revision relate to, in the words of Tamura, rather than R, as GT, that is a question of comfort as that Nissan engineers are going to pick up on an unattainable height.


Again, more complicated than it might seem at first glance, not just increasing the number of options not only improve the quality of finish, and creating an atmosphere in which the driver will be an incredible feeling of control supercar, which has no equal in anything.

But the installation of GT-R in the unit, the ability to develop 800–900 hp in the task does not fit. Technically it is possible, but engineers believe Nissan, such power will not add the driver a sense of confidence in his safe. This does not mean that the new generation will never simply Hiroshi Tamura not ready to name a specific date for his appearance.
