Nissan GT-R test drive: trembling roads

The person is unhappy in whose life there are no things left, causing a real feeling coming from the chest and enveloping the brain.

With age and experience, we lose sheets of one of the chapters of the book of life, which can be called awe. Moreover, reading one of the pages of this chapter, we tear it out and put the books into other places in a kind, funny, memorable one, sometimes forgetting about a unique feeling that once excited consciousness and body.

The first car on which you traveled around the city all day, the first love that went beyond the boundaries of childhood, the first (and several more) flights on the plane, the birth of a child, a meeting with the sea, ocean, mountains later, when these events are repeated, they only cause Association with a vivid feeling from the past. Unfortunately, the thrill eventually becomes a rare guest in a series of emotions. It seems incredible to the appearance of one whose face will dream, the flight on the plane becomes only a pause between whiskey/stake, and the sea we prefer the pool there is closer, but the floor is smoother.

As a sophisticated motorist, I did not expect a meeting with Nissan GT-R that would be so significant for me. I admit, I even hardly took off the bar as a shame with a desire to quickly be behind the wheel of a car that could accelerate to a hundred in just 3.5 seconds. At some point, I noticed that I count the days, then hours and minutes and now I am slowly going on it, getting acquainted with the interface and, scanning a rigid suspension of the uneven road. I must say that you can’t call such a comfortable ride. It can be compared with the movement of the tram along crooked rails. Each joint hits in the back. But you forgive this machine so insignificant discomfort. She not only goes, but also sings. Four pipes of the exhaust system, the diameter of the cross -section with the Bank of the sprat, give out such a noble bass at low speeds that there is no desire to turn on the audio system. And it is worth drowning the accelerator pedal to the floor, as the bass transforms into a powerful breathing of the jet aircraft. The transmission of the GR6 model with switching on the steering wheel and two clutches, designed specifically for this car, with lightning speed counts the transmission without a hint of pauses. The dynamics of acceleration is constant and even up to 200 km/h (did not try faster), and only by breaths/exhalations of the motor can you understand that the programs are switched. Moreover, the dynamics is such that it is breathtaking! I even doubted that 3.5 s up to 100 km/h, declared by manufacturers, the right figure. It feels like it is 2.8 s! Although, what is 0.7 s when units are equal on the road?

Special thanks to the Moscow road services for being lucky to experience the Nissan car on the asphalt laid only last fall. Even with the drive to all the wheels, GT-R, stammering when accelerating on potholes and cracks, looks like a happy spaniel, which, jumping on the floor, hurries to the owner. He, of course, overcomes the path, but not as fast as he can. The picture spectacularly complements the scouring of the sports car: low -profile tires (255/40ZRF20 in front and 285/35ZRF20 behind), paired with a hard suspension, refuse to put up with the ruts of our roads. The car throws to the sides every now and then, so you have to hold on to the wheel in it with two hands. In addition, when you exceed the speed mode by half, or even three times, you must be prepared for surprises the city is not ready to accept you so fast. Cars in the stream are rebuilt in a time ago an empty row, and you are already rushing past, leaving only a few centimeters between them and your rear -view mirrors. You break the air resistance along with the understanding of others about the speed and acceleration dynamics. Motorcyclists sob, looking at the inexorably removing four round stopars of this pearl bullet. And your companions, but what to conceal there, you yourself sometimes do not hold a scream from mixing your feelings. The delight and primitive fear, squeezing the insides and beating electricity according to the instinct of self -preservation, which, in turn, makes you remove the foot from the gas. When you drive Nissan GT-R, night Moscow in a matter of seconds can turn into a galaxy of lamps that rush past, advertisements and houses turn into thin lines along the edges of the car, and the street turns into a tunnel, which, unfortunately, ends very quickly.

Only in bragging, and the car can stop as quickly as it accelerates, thanks to the huge ventilated front and rear brake discs, you recall that you want to see what speed it dispersed. So over and over again. As a result, it turns out that this car simply does not need devices. At a speed of 100 km/h (plus/minus 20 km/h), look at the speedometer somehow awkwardly his shooter is almost lifeless, looking at half a half, while in ordinary cars this is already halfway until the end of the scale. But when you rush, even a second to distract from the road can be a tragic eternity. I admit, I watched the instruments only to find out how much fuel was left in the rocket (is there enough to my native planet), but to make sure that the engine temperature is normal. I note that anxiety about the temperature of the power unit did not leave me all the time a test drive. Firstly, because the car, working in the modes of unthinkable cars for ordinary cars, could not help but heat up (I am talking not only about the motor, but also about the transmission), and constantly clicked and crackled with various nodes of the body, then cooling, then again hot, then again. And secondly, I was not left the alarm for the fact that almost 500 horses languishing under the hood GT-R, when you are standing in a multi-hour traffic jam, can be broted about the pace of Moscow traffic dryly indicated by the average speed of 23 km/h. At the same time, it is worth paying tribute to the designers of a 3.8-liter 492-horsepower engine equipped with two IHI turbochargers. The fuel consumption of the car did not exceed 23 liters per metropolitan hundred, which is very gratifying, even unexpectedly.

Summary
The car in all driving modes showed itself from the best side and it stands solidly and drives perfectly. Is it worth mentioning the Bose and navigation audio system? Perhaps in passing, and they, despite the quality and class, do not reflect the essence of the car. He was born to hit the imagination and squeeze the distance. At the same time, Nissan GT-R is not an ascetic sports car, but a real Grand Tourism with a large trunk, even with the rear seats, which, by the way, although they look hospitable, are ready to shelter only children's chairs or pets. If a person sits in the rear seat, the front chair has to be pulled to a discomfort distance to steer for a long time in this position will be tiring. But, this also does not spoil the car. But the only thing that I have a claim is the stinginess of Nissan designers. No matter how I tried to justify the absence in a car worth more than 4 million rubles of parking sensors or cameras, I did not find the reasons not to equip them with GT-R. And the need for an assistant when parking in a car with such an impressive stern and the wide rear racks of the roof is obvious.

However, even this (inexpensive) deficiency does not make a supercar from Nissan less attractive. I note that its competitors (cars accelerating to hundreds are faster than 4 s) either significantly more, or do not have such a strong manufacturer with a powerful branched service base in the basic configuration.
