Test drive Nissan GT-R R35 Restyling since 2011 compartment

Review of new modifications of updated Nissan GT-R

Welcome to the world of GT-R!

After 3 years, we will show you the true face of GT-R!

For the first time, this phrase Mr. Midzuno, responsible for the development of GT-R, said during the publication of the Nissan GT-R R35 in December 2007.

And so, the promised 3 years passed, and the model GT-R 2011 model year, passed a number of improvements and changes, appeared to the world. The new modification for many caused delight, and she has already been devoted to many reports, but if you have not yet happened to read any of them this article for you!

However, it would be a mistake to believe that the true face of GT-R, about which Mr. Mizzuno told us, is limited only by optimizing the performance of the model by increasing power and torque, improving controllability. It is not only about a car, as a separate product, but also about everything that surrounds it. In other words, the company made every effort to create a whole world of GT-R so that the owners of the model can feel as comfortable as possible. It is not surprising that it took three whole years.

Specifically, all these years, Nissan has been working on the improvement of the maintenance system, reviewing spare parts, as well as on creating all kinds of improvements and additions that can be added at the request of the owner to the special modification of EGOIST. For example, there are 20 interior decoration options: 4 colors are available for a choice for the top of the cabin and 10 colors for the lower. Moreover, for a fee, the future owner of an egoist will be able to personally go to the assembly workshop to Totigi and see the process of producing his car with his own eyes.

Personally, I never had a machine with such a wide range of accessible services, but I am sure that since the purchase of Egoist, like no other GT-R, is able to cause the love and affection of its owner. High -quality interior decoration of the model also can not compare with cars a lower class. The chic upholstery of the seats, along with the Alcantar decoration of the ceiling and front racks, can bring anyone into indescribable delight (despite the fact that the design of the central console does not quite fit into the interior).

 
Support for outdated models
But the creation of the GT-R world was not limited only to the release of the new Nissan GT-R EGOIST.

The company’s policy in relation to, so to speak, outdated models, deserves great attention. The fact is that, along with new models, you can also improve the old GT-R'i. The purpose of our company is not only the sale of a car, but also the creation of all conditions for the possibility of its subsequent improvement, says Mr. Mizuno. In this regard, as one of the ways to provide old models of higher performance, the sale of the relevant components has been organized. In parallel, the cost of resale was calculated and replaced by certified used cars, taking into account the improvements established on them.

In order not to offend the owners of the old GT-R models, a set of updates called Advanced Kit was specially developed for them.

This improvement, in addition to installing new front shock absorbers and springs, includes an engine update with a transmission to the 2011 model level. The list of equipment of the old Gater can also be replenished with new sealing pads on the door, as well as an ultra -modern anti -theft system.

For extra money, you can update not only the front, but also the rear suspension. But there is one nuance. The fact is that when replacing only the front suspension, in addition to increasing the performance of the car, its unique and unique character is preserved, which no modern model is able to replace. I am sure that many people like a similar combination of traditions and novelty.

 
The advantages of a set of updates
After installing an advanced set of updates, the impression is that the machine was increased.

Thanks to the improved clutch of the front wheels with the road, the car reacts perfectly to the rotation of the steering wheel. If you compare the usual model of 2007 and its improved version, you can see with the naked eye, how much more accurately the optimized machine behaves when turning: it is worth turning the steering wheel and the car quickly and conscientiously executes the command. Thanks to this, the speed of entering the machine into a turn increased significantly.

In general, the creators of GT-R have already developed a peculiar tradition with each new generation to make the handling of the model more and more accurate. I also want to note the following moment: thanks to the smart control system of all -wheel drive, the rear wheels do an excellent job of faster entering the turn, and the unpleasant sensation of slipping is completely absent.

Improvements also affect the general level of comfort. A well -toned front suspension has a smooth move and copes with bumps perfectly. Cars with an installed set of improvements seem to slide on the surface of the road without unnecessary shocks and vibrations. Moreover, in terms of comfort, they are not inferior to 2011 models. From the entire set of improvements, the updated suspension is perhaps a key solution.

The updated engine and transmission also contribute to ensuring maximum comfort: the craving has become more, vibrations have decreased, so now it is easy and simply to pass any turns. The cost of such a set of updates excluding the cost of its installation will be 380,000 yen (about $ 4,600). It is worth recognizing that the final price comes out very considerable, but if you decide to purchase a used GT-R, then for such a filling it is an excellent cost. In my GT-R, I completely updated the chassis, but, having drove once on it, I terribly wanted to return my old 2007 pendant.

 
Meet Club Track Edition!
And finally, I want to introduce you to another representative of the world GT-R Nissan GT-R Club Track Edition.

This sports model was designed specifically so that members of the prestigious GT-R club can test it on the racing track. The rooms are issued only three years after the purchase of the car is clearly not intended for urban use.

Having abandoned most decorative details of the interior, Club Track Edition has become much easier than the basic model. It is equipped with a 4-point security frame (or 6-point), 6-point seat belts, a folding steering wheel, as well as an exhaust system without a noise absorber, sliks and the latest shock absorbers. At the request of the owner, the model can be equipped with chairs of any shape. In other words, Nissan Club Track Edition is a new high -class racing car with excellent performance.

The price for the model itself is 10,500,000 yen (about $ 128,000). A package of additional services, including the storage and maintenance of the car, official reports on the results of the races, as well as the possibility of passing special driver’s courses four times a year, will result in an additional 3,000,000 yen (about $ 36,580).

Compared to ordinary machines, this may seem too expensive, but such a model should not even be put in a par with middle -class cars. Nissan GT-R Club Track Edition Sports ATO-level sports car, and people who understand will definitely appreciate it. As the tires are accelerated, they simply hot from a breathtaking number of revolutions, the sonorous combat roar of the muffler raises the mood, while the car behaves as obediently as if it is one with a driver.

After sitting only once at the wheel of this monster and feeling all this speed and energy, you want to stay in this car forever. The standard model of 2011 with all its running characteristics and comfort simply fades against the background of all this splendor!

This is the world of GT-R, here everyone can find something to themselves. For 3 years, the developers have not managed to create a whole culture of one car. And the high speed has become the hallmark of GT-R.
