Test drive Nissan GT-R R35 Restyling since 2011 compartment

Adrenaline

When the snow began to go, and the average daily temperature to grow, the modern icon of the Japanese automotive industry Nissan GT-R finally got into our good cars.

Of course, the temptation was strong to postpone the acquaintance to warm days in order to light, as expected, on summer tires. But at the same time, there was still the hope that snow would fall out and a slippery test would be obtained. Therefore, we did not become time. Yes, and it's not easy to take and postpone the test of such a car for a month when you are offered it now.

Nevertheless, both the weather and circumstances said their good comments. Three and a half of four test days, the sun was joyfully shining and it was dry. This is time. And I would not have succeeded in slipping two at my pleasure on GT-R, even if the snow was all the time. After all, the GT-R car is not easy, and special warranty conditions have been invented for it. The most important thing: when the stabilization system is turned off, according to the warranty conditions, the repair of a ruined node or the unit is carried out at the expense of the owner (well, in our case, a test drive). (See officially from Nissan: I broke gt-r, clean it yourself!)

Over the years in the auto-journalism, fast cars had to be tested, but before meeting with GT-R, a thrill was still covered. The Japanese painted their sports car painfully well, they painted him too beautifully, and the PR services then very successfully promoted him (which, however, does not detract from his running qualities and the level of engineering study). It is enough to recall the story of Nurgurgring and Porsche 911. Or an advertising company in the game Gran Turismo Prologue.

Finally, after a few cigarettes, the photographer and I hear a low bass sound and he shows our eyes. Yes, exactly, with a capital. At the first meeting, GT-R makes an impression with a capital letter. It is when you see a compartment in our everyday reality, fully evaluate its magnificent techno-design! The most powerful impression is made by high feed with generic features with branded round lamps. The exhaust nozzles accompanying them do not leave a chance of tuning offices. The sidewalls are generally dumped. The front of the aggression itself. The appearance reads immutability, power, pressure and an innate ability to tear space with its faceted corps.

Inside, during the heating of the motor is quite noisy (the engine sounds ironly with a small low -frequency background). Through the front subframe, tightly screwed to the body, small vibrations are transferred to the steering wheel. Everything is right, everything is according to the laws of the genre.

And if the appearance makes almost everyone say the unambiguous wow (x)!, Then the salon, on the contrary, is calm itself. But very high quality. Moreover, it was difficult for me to believe that I sat in Nissan! Complete harmony of textures and materials, finishing at the highest level Infiniti will be aligned.

But here is the design ... If you say evil, then it simply is not (except, again, non -trivial door handles). To be more affectionate, then the design is unforgettable. And the light gray decoration looks modest. Well, in fact, this is not a traveling office Thean! But, for example, a black car with a red salon looks much more impudent.

Although why be surprised? In the GT-R family, the interior has always been assigned the role of secondary and functional. Here is the functionality and triumphs. The process of entry-exit, for example, complicates only a cunning door handle. You sit easily, almost like a car, the landing itself is excellent, the place is enough, the ergonomics did not raise questions. But the feeling that you sat in a supercar does not arise.

The salon is good for details. He, despite the calm that does not fit with the character of the machine, is stylish. It is interesting to delve into the menu of the on -board computer, especially the amount of information that can be brought on the scoreboard up to the temperature and oil pressure in the gearbox or the sensor of the side and longitudinal accelerations. Seriously...

At the back in GT-R, it is spacious only against the background of other competitors. There, in fact, closely and nowhere to put the head of a person tall above 175 cm. We will have to bend, grabbing his hands behind the back of the front chair. Or check the strength of the Nissan roof with your head (it is very strong). By the way, the wheelbase of the compartment is rather big, for example, it is 5 mm more than that of the hero of our previous Subaru Legacy test.

The steering wheel is convenient, with tide in the places of the grip, the rim is hard, tightly covered with brilliant perforated skin and is fastened with a thread. The beauty! At the same time, the steering wheel is multifunctional to the limit, and followed by gearboxes with the leather trim of the end part, just like Infiniti.

The pedals are gleamed with aluminum, located conveniently. The effort on them is masculine. The sensitivity of the brakes is what the doctor prescribed. The degree of deceleration is dosed exclusively by effort. The brakes are grab and powerful. The operation of the accelerator depends on the program in which GT-R works. In Race mode, the feedback is excellent and the supply of fuel is dosed easily and very accurately! In more calm modes, the accelerator can dull slightly in the low -speed zone.

Well, the motor is already warmed up and you can go. But before that, parting instructions. Our attention is especially focused on the absence of a turbo-Time (advice to developers: you would better save on something else) and, of course, on the ban on the shutdown of VDC. At the same time, an employee of the salon politely warned that everything that happened with the machine was copied into a black box and after the test a comprehensive diagnosis of the car in our presence would be carried out.

In general, this fad with the shutdown of the stabilization system and the subsequent deprivation of the guarantee raises reasonable issues. If I buy an expensive sports car, then I probably want to ride it quickly. Moreover, with the VDC turned off, in order, for example, to engage in figured power gliding, even on ice. And not the way it can be done in Race mode (which is below), but fully. But this is prohibited. If you really want, then, of course, it is possible, but at your own risk and fear ...

What is the company's uncertainty in its product or an attempt to play up back by shifting responsibility for the capricious box to the buyer's shoulders? With God, it is difficult for me to imagine that Porsche or Ferrari put such conditions to customers and stuffed their cars with black boxes, so that in the event of a breakdown, poke the owner’s nose in the fact of disconnecting VDC.

I still turned off the VDC. Only once. Half an hour after I took the car for the test. Suddenly, through the sun, terrible snow fell! This was my only chance to dick on the Jitiara, and I used it, and without any harm to the car. The site was covered with snow and icing in some places. It was possible to ditch the chassis here, only well -fitting about the pillar, which was not my plans.

Drift on GT-R is very exciting! The car is driving and an accelerator, as if not just a self -locking, but an active differential, in the rear axle, is installed in its rear axle. The development of drift and its angle are perfectly controlled. Sliding at the wheel of this compartment is a great pleasure, which the manufacturing company nominally deprives its customers, without allowing to turn off the stabilization system.

But if you look at things from the standpoint of security, then here I am already completely and completely for the VDC Race mode, because only a professional race car driver can use the capabilities of this projectile on public roads without exaggeration. They say that it will even be an unprepared pilot to drive quickly (and even very quickly) on GT-R. This is true. But you need to understand a simple thing. The dynamics, brakes and adhesion of the tires with the road of this machine are so great that you can wildly blame, feel like a supergor, without realizing the fact that you do not use half the capabilities of the car.

But behind the facet of generally accepted ideas about the speed, our brutal small one no longer seems so obedient and flexible. GT-R is angry, rocks and ultimately shows teeth. Quickly, but scary. He suddenly goes into sliding the rear axle at a speed of 140 km/h in a canopy turn under the thrust. He suddenly exhibits across the single -lane congress from the Moscow Ring Road, inconsistently tickling the nerves sitting inside! Even when accelerating on dry asphalt, he sometimes arranges such wild dances with a stern that only manage to catch her with a steering wheel! Adrenaline ...

GT-R literally from the first meters is captivated by integrity. It is like a single organism, and not a set of nodes and assemblies, cunningly connected with each other. A tight steering wheel, tight pedals, an elastic but not shabby suspension. Outside, it seems large (especially by sports standards), but when you lead it, the feeling of bulky evaporates. The car is fast, accurate, clear in its reactions. But a large mass makes itself felt on braking. GT-R is not a fluff.

Our 2010 Model car and Launch Control system are no longer on it. At one time, there were several cases of failure of the automatic transmission with two clutches when using the fast starting function (when the machine was held by the brakes, the engine speeds were installed on the most effective as possible). At the same time, a shock load took place not only on the clutch, but also on the parts of the automatic transmission. This story later had a continuation. Firstly, thanks to resonance, Nissan had to not only abolish LC, but also make a flash of Launch Control 2 for all machines where this function was originally. The new program lowers the start turnover up to 3,500 (was 4,500) with the VDC turned off (up to 3,000 when turned on). At the same time, a guarantee for cars after updating is valid, even if you take low starts. Secondly, the court allowed the Americans to turn off the VDC and not lose the guarantee. To do this, the Nissanists, if the case comes to court, will have to prove with the help of their black box the fact that the breakdown occurred precisely due to the disconnection of the system. How can one not recall that Porsche, for example, the number of starts with Launch Control is not limited and the same box with two PDK clutches regularly holds.

Start from the place of the branded dish GT-R. From the seat, the car breaks down with a small pause at the very beginning, but only then acceleration is simply frantic! It surprises how quickly it ends, literally breaks off, the first seems to have not passed in a second, and lightning -fast switching has already occurred, the shoulders instantly straighten up, and a wave of drunken acceleration is tilting you. Bach third! The acceleration intensity does not decrease. Under the wild howl of a cycle saw and a whistle of turbines, biting soft winter rubber into spring asphalt, GT-R has already overcame 160 km/h. 270 reaches very quickly. I am sure he will gain and 300 would be ahead of the place and the rubber is not winter.

And how stable the car is at high speed! Awesome aerodynamics, minimal frontal resistance, gran-eniment. GT-R sticks to the road. The suspension successfully works even a broken profile, and in the hands there is always complete control over the situation (though, in the rut you need to be more careful). But it must be taken into account that if you accelerate for 200 and you must dramatically slow down, then at least on winter tires (in mode R, which also affects the operation of ABS), the machine behaves with the most intense slowdown quite nervously. It scoures a little (ABS is honestly, in a honey, allows obvious slides!), But corrective actions by the steering wheel must be done very and very tenderly and carefully, because on braking the car is exhibited at a time. Such behavior, I think, will be very appropriate during the track-day on a good highway, where it will be possible to refuel the car into a turn on braking.

The manufacturer considers a panacea from turning off the VDC mode Race, which we have already talked about. Strictly speaking such modes there are three. The first for VDC, the second for the gearbox, the third for active suspension. Well, if the company recommends traveling on tracks in Race mode, then let's try to understand what it allows us.

As for the suspension, in R it becomes enough oak. But at the same time, it copes well with almost all the irregularities of the middle hand, and does not like only those with sharp edges. Although at high speed, they are not averse to flying away. More speed, less pits are also about GTR. The usual mode makes the chassis only a little more comfortable.

The gearbox, in addition to the racing, is equipped with the winter regime, but I did not use it. In the RACE automatic transmission mode, of course, the engine is more strongly loaded not only on acceleration, but also on braking. Switching itself is given to the box easily and quickly. But if you put the default mode, it will be necessary to state that the automatic transmission does not read your thoughts as easily, as, for example, the PDK already mentioned above. On Porsche, you can control the switching with a millimeter movement of the accelerator, here you must also contact the pedal more unceremoniously.

Well, VDC, finally! In the very mode, the system relaxes seriously. She allows a start with a strong slipping not only in the second, but also in the third gear, leaving the driver the right to adjust the trajectory. In a turn, you can also feel very free. The system is much smaller than the car at the output and allows the driving to drift. True, this is a truncated and very intelligent drift. The machine is put to the required angle (under the discharge of gas or with its addition) and is carried out only if the driver correctly calculated the drift angle and put it on the turn. Sliding can only be adjusted with gas. If you begin to finish the trajectory with the steering wheel, the VDC immediately beats the brake mechanisms of the front wheels (powerful tangible impulses, to the screech of rubber) and levels the trajectory. Therefore, it can be stated that the Race mode was not created for such an intelligent drift, but only in order to open earlier, leaving the turn onto the straight lifting with four wheels. Here you can and should get a buzz from this.

And, of course, the Race mode allows you to realize that line sitting behind the wheel, which should not be crossed on public roads. There is a track for this. The cases described above that have happened to me the best confirmation of this. If the driving is a more or less experienced pilot, then together with VDC he will be able to catch the car and return the right trajectory to it, but without it .. Maybe he is lucky.

Is it possible to ride GT-R calmly or move on it every day, as on the main machine? Yes, if you do not rush anywhere, then the coupe seems quite comfortable and spacious. The trunk is large, the landing is convenient. The steering wheel, of course, is at first heavy, but over time you get used to it. In addition, the car is not well packed here for you and an electric cape, and a separate climate, and a variety of sensors, and a powerful Bose audio system. But there are spots in the sun: visibility back is clamped, and there are no parking sensors even as an option. How can you not remember a turbo-Time ... And also GT-R is completely not green. Thirty liters of eighth per 100 km, and one tank is enough for only two with a small hundred.

But this is a moderate fee for concentrated pleasure, for the availability of high, very high speed. GT-R brought the ideology of its ancestors to a new level: it is a front-line coupe that rides faster than venerable medium and rear-engine supercars with a long pedigree. This is a machine that is perfectly made in everything, goes perfectly and controls. Yes, there are some nuances in operation, but do not forget about the low starting price of this car and that despite all the nuances, this car will and remains a very formidable weapon in skillful hands.
