New Grade Born from NISMO Technology Fusion
Next year marks the 45th anniversary since the first "Skyline GT-R" was released in 1969. As its direct successor, the "GT-R," Nissan's flagship sports car, has evolved into the 2015 model.Last yearSimilarly, GT is defined as "Gran Turismo" and R as "Race Technology," with further pursuit of ride comfort being undertaken.
In the 2015 model, cornering performance has been improved by altering the damping characteristics of the shock absorbers, and the steering dynamic damper setting has been changed to reduce vibrations at idle and those transmitted from the road. Additionally, directional stability has been increased at all speeds, from low to high. By thoroughly reviewing components, vibrations and noise have been reduced, achieving further comfort.
