The nickname "Godzilla" became the model in the distant 1990, when Nissan Skyline R32 defeated its competitors in the JTC 1990 championship.
The history of each car of the GT-R family passes by about the same scenario: each of these machines is powerful, the last in its kind, anachronic, favorite public and is constantly under threat of extinction. For the current generation of sports cars, all of the above is also true - Nissan GT-R is on the market for more than 10 years, has the same configuration, has a lot of fans and is under threat of extinction in an increasingly electrified line of the brand.
So, let's do those in order. Under the hood Nissan GT-R Nismo 2021 contains all the same 3.8-liter gasoline V6 with two turbines with a capacity of 590 hp. Compared to the model of last year, the novelty received more easy turbines, which are 20% faster, and the improved 6-speed automatic transmission began to "click" the transmissions noticeably faster. Thanks to all this, overclocking up to 100 km / h, Nissan GT-R takes a little less than 3 seconds. Stopping a sports car is designed by the revised carbon-ceramic brakes Brembo with 410 mm brake discs.
Externally did not change the car, but the technology of production of body panels has undergone some changes. In addition, the wider use of Carbona allowed Nissan engineers to save up to 30 kilograms of mass in comparison with last year's car. In addition, a couple of practically inconspicuous air intakes appeared on the body and the form of an anti-carmy changed. As we see, the recipe for success is simple - it is not picked up that and so well bought it, but add some improvements to be bought even better.
The car's salon is simple, as before, and if in 2010 the abundance of instruments resembled the game from the PlayStation 2 console, then in 2021 it reminds the same game. For noise insulation, Nissan engineers seem to have never heard, so the treated screams of the turbocharged V6 penetrate the cabin without any interference. It is worth noting that comfort does not add and constant vibration transmitted from the power unit directly to the fifth point of the driver and the passenger through sports seats.
On the course of 1,700-kilogram sports car feels surprisingly easily, and the distribution of weight in the 55/45 ratio makes the turning of the all-wheel drive car is simply phenomenal. If you do not understand how numerous torque distribution systems work between wheels, stabilization and everything else, it may seem that the car simply sticks to asphalt under any circumstances. And only when the driver allows an error, all systems interfere with the management process and correct almost any human deficiency. The Nismo version differs from the standard Nissan GT-R to a more rigid suspension. Of course, this is good if you use the car only as a toy for track-days, but for every day such a car does not fit. But the standard GT-R is able to deliver you to work with relative comfort or shop for shopping.
Is Nissan GT-R Dinosaur title? Of course, it is powerful, fast, produced and successfully sold for 10 years and is now under threat of extinction. More precisely, there is no - he will definitely wake up his ancestors. And if before the threat for old sports cars became new and modern cars, then the current generation GT-R threatens extinction from the hands of hybrid and completely electrical models.
