  • Limited Edition 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO Finally in U.S.

    The less there is of something, the more you want it. That is one of the many unwritten human principles that keep the world going. It could be said that it is applicable to, pretty much, anything. Especially when it comes to cars. It is a known fact that there is a limited amount of GT-R NISMO’s which are made every year. And the number of those that go to U.S. is even more limited.

    October 21, 2014 turns out to be rather important for Nissan and even more memorable and significant for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, resident Matt McCulloh who received the first 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO produced for the U.S. market.

    McCulloh points out with extreme excitement that; “This car to me is like a brute-force tool. To me it is so purpose-built that I am going to do a lot of track.” He, then, continues and adds; “I’m going to really use this car as far as track, autocross, a little drag-strip – so, you know, track and getting to spend some time in this great garage that I have here now.”

    It is intense, it is aggressive and, obviously, it is really wanted. With its screaming 600-horsepower, it becomes the most powerful and most desirable Nissan GT-R ever made. After all, it is quite an honor to have something that is of a limited edition. It kind of makes you feel more… special and valuable. One of a kind, just like the car. Almost (let’s not forget there are still a few more one-of-a-kinds who have been lucky enough to grab a hold of the limited 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO).

  • 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO Enters the Gran Turismo6

    2015-Nissan-GT-R-NISMO-THUMB2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO is now available in Gran Turismo6 and is free to download for all GT Academy entrants. The collaboration between Nissan and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has made this possible for fans of the automaker and popular game. The GT-R NISMO is the ultimate articulation of the R35 GT-R. The car was first released in 2007, and since then the Japanese team of designers and engineers have been meticulously honing the GT-R’s performance with each version of the car that has followed.

    At the GT Academy 2014 European Race Camp at Silverstone, the 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO made an appearance, where it was also announced that the car would be made available for purchase from the in-game dealership. What is more, for all of the GT Academy fans, Nissan has made the car free to download. The only requirement for the Gran Turismo6 player is he or she to have had entered the GT Academy 2014 competition.

    Nissan GT-R Nismo is powered by the 3.8 liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine which produces 600 horsepower (441 kW) at 6,800RPM and 654Nm (481 kW) at 3,200RPM. It covers the acceleration sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 311 km/h (193 mph). The powertrain is connected to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sending the power to the four-wheel drive system (4WD).

    The Nismo also features advanced aerodynamics which generate additional 100kg of downforce at 300km/h (186mph) for stunning road-behavior. The real road version of the Nissan GT-R NISMO is currently being delivered in Japan. The car is also now on sale in the United States and Europe and the deliveries are scheduled for October.
