Nissan GT-R SpecV at Geneva

Nissan will debut the much anticipated hardcore Nissan GT-R SpecV at the Geneva Motor show this week.

The new limited-production SpecV model went on sale in Japan during February at seven selected Nissan dealers.

Targeted specifically at enthusiast drivers, SpecV has been created and engineered for those who desire race car-level performance in a street-legal vehicle.

The GT-R SpecV's new exterior features include a carbon fibre rear spoiler, a carbon fibre grille, and carbon fibre brake ducts. Inside, the SpecV's unique two-seat interior offers Recaro carbon fibre bucket seats, while carbon fibre insets embellish the rear centre 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.

The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminium wheels. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels, together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip tyres, combine to deliver the SpecV's exceptional performance.
