2013 Nissan GT-R – Automobiles Review

2013 Nissan GT-R vs 2013 Audi RS6 Avant [video]

Here is another interesting test that proves Nissan GT-R R35 is the best car on the market. It is going against the powerful Audi RS6 Avant.

The GT-R is powered by a VR38DETT engine – – a 3.8 liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 550HP (400 kW) at 6400 RPM and 632Nm (466 lb-ft) of torque at 3200RPM. 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph). The curb weight is 1740kg. It has power-to-weight ratio of 311HP per ton.

The RS6 has a 4.0 liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 560HP (412 kW) and 630Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 304 km/h (189 mph). The curb weight is 2010kg. It has power-to-weight ratio of 275HP per ton.

Both cars cost roughly the same, but as you may suggest the GT-R is way more faster, while the RS 6 is way more comfortable.

Which is better? Check out in the video!

Nissan GT-R Conquers a Skislope [VIDEO]

Nissan GT-R Conquers a Skislope Have you ever wondered if a Nissan GT-R can conquer a skislope? Well, you haven’t probably haven’t and here’s a video which answers this question. In it you can watch how the Team Icericers and Swedens best Auto-Movie producer Fredrik Jönsson from Redhouse Media gathered together to film this challenge.

In general, they filmed this footage for two days at the skislope in Kåbdalis. The shooting of the challenge happened between 6 and 9 am, while the rest of the day was spent in filming the beautiful surroundings of northern Sweden.

In fact, this Nissan model hides under its hood 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, which delivers 550 horsepower (405 kW). And it is no surprise that the GT-R managed exceptional at this challenge because the driver managed to fully realize the power of the torque – which is 632 Nm (466 kW) at 3200 to 5800 rpm.

2013 Nissan GT-R Breaks Records In Russia [VIDEO]

One of the most impressive machines on planet Earth is 2013 Nissan GT-R. The latest adventure it embarked on is in Russia where with the help of LAV Productions Company it has set the goal to break the speed record on natural ice.

The event happened literally on Lake Baikal under severe weather conditions. The temperature was – 22 Degrees Celsius and the ice depth was enough (1.4 m) to sustain the weight of the Nissan. The team there came to the Lake in order to set a new world speed record on ice for a standard production vehicle.

Although given the fact that the GT-R can generate 540 horsepower (397 kW), the ice under the wheels definitely made the task tougher and much harder. Roman Rusinov and Andrey Leontjev were those who mastered the unusual challenge and according to their words, thanks to Nissan GT-R’s all wheel drive, they have managed to fully realize the power of the torque – which is 632 Nm (466 kW) at 3200 to 5800 rpm.

The end result is that they have ended up breaking a record: the top speed achieved is exactly 294.8 km/h. If you want to know more about what exactly happened there, just view the video below.

2013 Nissan GT-R Hits The Powder [VIDEO]

A twenty minute film has just been published by Nissan, showing the assets and qualities of their 2013 Nissan GT-R model. It reveals how the vehicle operates effortlessly in the toughest road conditions and which are the technologies inside of it which contribute towards it seamless performance.

This 2013 GT-R includes a wide range of enhanced technologies. More importantly, it can generate 550 horsepower (405 kW) from its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine. Here the lessons, that the brand have learned after this year’s Nürburgring 24-Hour, are applied by the engineers thus effecting in enhanced response in both the mid- and upper-rpm rev ranges.

Other changes include increased body rigidity and modifications to the dampers, springs and front anti-roll bar. As a conclusion we can confirm that the GT-R is now more responsive, has better high-speed stability and a more refined ride.

Knowing that the vehicle is a true monster on pavement, the creators of this project wanted to test its qualities on snow? This happened at the Nissan testing ground in Hokkaido, Japan.

In the video below you can see how the 2013 Nissan GT-R is being tested in terms of acceleration, braking, hill start and skid pad performance in snowy northern Japan.

2013 Nissan GT-R: Elevated Performance

The new 2013 Nissan GT-R now has enhanced response, better stability and sharper handling. The model will go on sale in the spring next year, showing-off its new four-wheel drive and great responsiveness.

In fact, this Nissan model has received a round of improvements, which complement perfectly the “beast” which seeps under its good: the 550 horsepower (405 kW) 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine. Here the lessons, that the brand have learned after this year’s Nürburgring 24-Hour, are applied by the engineers thus effecting in enhanced response in both the mid- and upper-rpm rev ranges.

Other changes include increased body rigidity and modifications to the dampers, springs and front anti-roll bar. As a consequence, the GT-R is now more responsive, has better high-speed stability and a more refined ride.

Details around this model are still scarce and the brand will reveal full prices and exact performance specifications closer to car’s launch. Nevertheless, some technical changes were disclosed.

The engine for instance has new high-output injectors, which more concisely control fuel injection in order to enhance mid-range and high-rpm response. Furthermore, new relief valve for the turbocharger bypass suppresses the rapid decrease of forced injection pressure, again helping to sustain response. Next, a brand new oil pan baffle helps maintain more stable oil pressure and reduces rotational friction especially during high-performance driving.

The chassis has been updated as well, after measuring the roll centre of the GT-R when cornering and taking deflection of the bushes and tyres into account. The updated suspension includes revised dampers, springs and front anti-roll bar to lower the centre of gravity.

Moreover, new cam bolts have been installed on the front suspension to enhance camber accuracy and stability when cornering. The torque has been increased as well thus carrying capacity of the driveshafts to the hub bearings and improving the reliability in high-stress situations.

At last but not least, some changes have been made to the body as well. Reinforcements have been added to the dash panel bar and instrument panel member effecting in extended body rigidity and better suspension control.
