Nissan GT-R

In this segment, I'll introduce to you another Japanese home-made motor. This sleek and furious baby is known as 'Godzilla' to those who are expert in the automobile world. It's a Nissan but named GT-R. Do not be fooled by the logo embeded at the front grill because it is a Nissan.

First of all, its a competitor to some of the luxurious and must-have cars. It surpasses the performance of the black horse, it gives the German makers a double-thought of upgrading their machines and it beats the Porsche 911 Turbo at its home-ground. What is actually then a GT-R?

Before I talk about the shape and its body-kit and accessories, I would like to touch about the mechanism which runs under the hoot of the 2008 GT-R. It was launched in Japan last year in December. What has Nissan done that it beats all those luxurious cars in terms of price and amazingly performance wise?

It has a 3.8L, VR38DETT twinturbo V6 muscle..473 bhp at 6400rpm.. extra intake of air and combustment that produces sheer power.. a dual clutch 6 speed automatic-manual transmission..





The car runs on all four-wheels and the engine is maunted at the front. The GT-R is a much improve model from the Skyline model. It is a revolution where in terms of performance and also design, the GT-R is way up front in the ranks.

The latest GT-R comes with a dual-clutch pedal system. The odd number is driven by one clutch and the even numbers by the other. I am not so clear about this but in lay man terms, this improves the shifting and efficency when the gear is engaged. I am yet to find out the mechanism of the dual-clutch padel and its significant function. Will be touching on it soon after I have gathered enough information.
