Well, the Nissan GT-R is almost the same as the 2017 GT-R that came before it. But this new version that Nissan boasts of is the new Track Edition, which is due to appear at the New York Auto Show next month.
According to a press release, Nissan describes it as a mid-range model located between the T (Touring) and R (Racing) models. And yes, because of the name, he is biased towards performing on the track.
Changes take form in small details. For instance, the GT-R Track Edition features more adhesive bonding and spot welding during construction to stiffen up the chassis. The suspension receives some tweaks thanks to Nissan’s in-house performance division, NISMO. The result is a slight reduction in weight, added chassis rigidity. Rounding out the package is a set of sticky NISMO-spec tires.
Other updates include new 20-inch NISMO forged alloy-aluminum wheels, a cargon fiber rear spoiler, and a bespoke red and black interior color treatment for the Recaro bucket seats. The exhaust is also supplanted with freer-flowing titanium system.
