Avus Nissan GT-R

Harish Kumar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:06:17 +0000

The Nissan Skyline GT-R has always been a favorite among tuners and the new R35 has been following the trend (regardless of what techno locks Nissan included). We’ve had many tune the R35, Garage Defend Nissan R35 GT-R, Zele Nissan GT-R and Wald Nissan GT-R to name a few of my favorites. Now, it’s the turn of Avus Performance, the German tuning firm that has had a crack at the GT-R R35. The kits are exclusive limited to 490 that will be made.

As with all their tuned rides, like the recently done Audi Q7 and Audi TT, this R35 also comes with Avus special matte black paint. The car looks quite spectacular in this specific colour and it is called ‘Batmobil Reloaded’. While it may not look as unique or intricate as a Batmobile, it will definitely go like one. The Avus GT-R rides on special coilovers but the shock adjustment that comes on the stock shocks has been retained. The car looks sportier due to a lowered ride height.

The wheels are fitted with spacers and continue the black theme, but with a difference – The 20 inch wheels sport a mild gloss finish as opposed to the matte black paint finish on the car. Avus also offers individually painted parts like front bumper, rear diffuser and air vents. The window tint follows the theme and is dark as well. The Avus GT-R doesnt have as many modifications as the Garage Defend but looks great in its own way.

The Avus GT-R boasts of an increases power output of 580 bhp and 700 Nm of torque! That’s as much as the SLS AMG for a start! Power comes courtesy a modified sports ECU and the removal of 2 catalytic converters (This would’nt go down well with Greenpeace). The car would pretty much outrun most of the supercars beating the stock GT-R that makes just 480 bhp by a huge margin.

If you want one, you better be quick as we dont expect the kits to last long. Listed below are the prices for the modifications done for the AVUS PERFORMANCE Nissan GT-R Black Edition:

> Matt black foliation – US$ 3677 (2499 Euros)
> Coilovers – US$ 1911 (1299 Euros)
> Modified ECU – US$ 2793 (1899 Euros)
> Exhaust pipe – US $ 1468 (998 Euros)
> Painted 20“ wheels – US $ 1470 (999 Euro)
> Wheel spacers – US$ 515 (349 Euros)

Nissan GT-R GT1

Harish Kumar — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 01:34:39 +0000

This is the most hardcore Nissan GT-R built to date, after of course the Nissan GT-R Spec-V. Don’t forget to checkout our first to web exclusive 93 pictures of the Nissan GT-R Spec-V thanks to Anthony’s timely visit to the Nissan Ginza Showroom in Tokyo for it’s unveiling.

What you see here is Nissan’s GT1 version of its popular GT-R which now enables it to enter into the highly competitive FIA GT championship starting 2010. Their upcoming 2009 season is just a developmental season with Nissan participating in full fledged competition beginning 2010. Fully produced in collaboration with NISMO and Gigawave, the car will be entered into four races in 2009 for testing and development. Its first race will be at Silverstone on May 3rd 2009.

Now the standard 3.8 liter Twin Turbocharged V-6 and the 4-wheel drive system does not satisfy the rules of the competition. So out goes the V-6 and in comes a naturally aspirated V-8 engine, a VK56DE which displaces 5,552cc and produces 600 bhp and 650 Nm of torque! That’s almost 120 horses more than the GT-R. For that extra bit of fun (and to satisfy the rules), its Rear Wheel Drive only. Power is transmitted by a Ricardo 6-speed trans axle featuring a carbon triple plate clutch.

Special features include a higher downforce package which gives the car a very low stance, and lots of aerodynamic bits like wide body kits, flared arches and a huge reqar wing to keep its rear planted. It gets carbon ceramic brakes with 6-piston calipers each. Also super cool are the side-exit exhausts.

The paint job might be a bit Ford-tiger-stripes from the early 90s, but this car has got lots of potential and where better to prove it other than on a track? Stay tuned for race results. The car was photographed testing at the Paul Ricard HTTT facility in the south of France during the media function and first official test day for the 2009 championship season.

With the Nissan GT-R aka Godzilla eating other super cars for lunch and destroying Nurburgring lap times, its entry into FIA motor sports was not far away. The incredible credentials of this supercar will now be put to the ultimate test against its rivals, which we think will be easy for this mean machine. It’ll be gunning for glory with the Maserati MC12’s, Corvette C6R’s, Saleen S7R’s and Ford GT’s.

Transformers 2 – Nissan GT-R Action Figure Toy

Joshua McRae — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:45:09 +0000

Some new images have just surfaced of some new Transformers action figures of the Audi R8 and surprisingly a Nissan GT-R. This brings out all the OUUUUS and AWEESSS of the kid in me. I used to own a Porsche JAZZ Autobot figure back in the day, which in the last Transformers movie they decided to make him a tuned Pontiac Solstice…YUCK… Ether way I am happy to see that some respectable automotive variety will be in this new movie. The Audi R8 toy in question appears to be a Decepticon and the GT-R is badged as an Autobot. It will be neat to see the two most hyped cars of the year battle it out in intergalactic warfare!!!

Judging by the Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Trailer that teased us during this years Superbowl, we can see that they have finally come to their senses and expanded their car repertoire outside of the usual boring American car realm. A quick glimpse in the trailer shows us that an Audi R8 will make an appearance.

Verde Ithaca Nissan GT-R Spotted (Again?)

Anthony Carbone — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:59:56 +0000

In October 2008 we covered some photos which came across our desks of a Verde Ithaca Modified Nissan GT-R with a matte finish from Singapore rumored to be simply a vinyl cover job. Yesterday I found these pictures of what could be another Verde Ithaca Nissan GT-R. From what I can tell this one appears to be painted and not vinyl wrapped. The similarities include: RHD, both have the same LED aftermarket fog lamps. Differences, this one appears to be painted (checkout the headlight lip vs the vinyl wrapped one) it also has Verde Ithaca painted calipers and rear wing, different wheels and different side skirts. What do you think Josh?

Nissan GT-R Spec V Pictures

Anthony Carbone — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 05:27:18 +0000

******* 93 Pictures (NISSAN Giza, Tokyo) HERE: Nissan GT-R Spec V – Ultimate Opal Black

Well it’s about time!!! Early this morning in Tokyo, Nissan dropped the press bomb release which include these photos of their $160,000 USD Nissan GT-R Spec V – 93 Pictures HERE!!

The GT-R Spec V exterior features a carbon fiber rear spoiler, fiber grille, carbon fiber brake ducts, carbon fiber insets on rear center storage box and instrument panel. It will be available exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal color.

Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system, carbon-ceramic brakes, lightweight NISMO GT-R racing wheels that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) Parts since September 2008.

PRESS RELEASE – TOKYO (Jan. 8, 2009)
Nissan Announces New GT-R SpecV Model

TOKYO (Jan. 8, 2009) — Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced a new limited-production Nissan GT-R SpecV model, which goes on sale at seven specially selected Nissan dealers throughout Japan on February 2, 2009. The GT-R SpecV is targeted specifically at enthusiast drivers who desire race car-level performance in a street-legal vehicle.

Developed around the multi-dimensional Nissan GT-R sports car, introduced just more than one year ago to universal global acclaim, the new SpecV model builds on the original’s “ultimate supercar that anyone can enjoy driving anywhere, at anytime” philosophy – taking it to an entirely new level of “oneness between man and machine.” The SpecV model includes unique body, interior and performance equipment and modifications, raising the GT-R’s unmatched performance to even higher levels.

The GT-R SpecV’s new exterior features include a carbon fiber rear spoiler, a carbon fiber grille, and carbon fiber brake ducts. The SpecV is available exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal (RP) body color. Inside, the SpecV’s unique two-seat interior (non-SpecV GT-R models also include a two-place rear seat) offers special Recaro carbon fiber bucket seats, while carbon fiber insets embellish the rear center storage box, instrument panel and other trim areas.

Performance is enhanced with a new high gear boost control device, which momentarily increases boost of the engine’s twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy. Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes that provide powerful stopping performance.

The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminum wheels that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) since September 2008. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels, together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip tires, combine to deliver the SpecV’s exceptional performance.

The SpecV will be sold at the following seven dealer outlets, each of which is staffed by mechanics with special GT-R SpecV training and who are knowledgeable of racing circuit driving.

Dealer outlets selling the SpecV
Ibaraki Nissan Sales Co., Ltd. Mito Sennami Outlet
Nissan Prince Tokyo Sales Co., Ltd. Kamedo Outlet
Nissan Prince Nagoya Sales Co., Ltd. Fukiage Outlet
Nissan Prince Osaka Sales Co., Ltd. Horie Kawaguchi Outlet

Branew Nissan GT-R Front Clip

Anthony Carbone — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:53:35 +0000

Having seen the original Branew Nissan GT-R at the 2008 Sema Show in Las Vegas this past November, it surely didn’t take Branew long to whip up another sexy front clip available in FRP or Carbon Fiber called The Front Bumper Dynamic Version. I will make sure I take a tonne of photos of this new clip at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 because I think it makes a very nice modification to the already sexy Nissan GT-R front end!
