Nissan intends to make the GT-R even more powerful

It seems that Nissan is not entirely happy with the current GT-R Spec V, the most powerful model in the Nissan range, because the GT-R’s own Chief Project Engineer, Kazutoshi Mizuno, has said that Nissan is considering a more radical version of the GT-R.

The idea behind Nissan is to build a variant full of carbon-fibre panels and with an interior that is practically race-spec, which would improve Godzilla’s performance even further. This idea most likely stems from Nissan entering the FIA GT championship in the GT1 class, and some publications have reported that the race car will use a V8 derived from the one used in Japan’s SuperGT championship.

Therefore, and according to the GT championship regulations, which require the race version to use the same engine as the road car, the V8 would first be tested in the road-legal version, delivering absolutely stratospheric performance from the GT-R and thus easing the engine’s transition to FIA GT.

Everything seems to indicate that we will find out how the story ends at the end of the year at the Tokyo Motor Show, when Nissan presents the tuned version of the GT-R range, since Nissan intends to compete with the GT-R before the end of the year.
