H Nissan ανανεώνει το GT-R 2015 στα σημεία [w/video]

Η Nissan παρουσίασε το GT-R ΜΥ2015 στην Ιαπωνία, με το μοντέλο να διαθέτει μικρές οπτικές και αεροδυναμικές βελτιώσεις, όπως επίσης μικρές αλλαγές στην ανάρτηση ώστε να βελτιωθεί περαιτέρω ο χειρισμός και η ποιότητα κύλισης, προσφέροντας καλύτερη σταθερότητα στις στροφές, με το σύστημα διεύθυνσης να έχει καλύτερη αίσθηση.

Τα run-flat ελαστικά Dunlop ελαστικά είναι γεμισμένα με άζωτο, με τον κινητήρα, το κιβώτιο και το άξονα μετάδοσης να βελτιώνονται στα σημεία. Οι αναβαθμίσεις στον κινητήρα μειώνουν τις τριβές, με νέα ρουλεμάν στον σφόνδυλο του κινητήρα να μειώνουν τον θόρυβο και να παρέχουν ομαλότερη λειτουργία. Τα παραπάνω δίνουν τη δυνατότητα στο MY2015 GT-R να επιταχύνει γρηγορότερα σε σχέση με το σημερινό μοντέλο. Η Nissan τοποθέτησε νέα φρένα της Brembo που κάνουν λιγότερο θόρυβο, με το αμορτισέρ του τιμονιού να έχει βελτιωθεί ώστε αυτό να έχει μικρότερες δονήσεις, όταν ο κινητήρας λειτουργεί το ρελαντί.

Στο εσωτερικό υπάρχει καλύτερη ηχομόνωση, με το MY2015 GT-R να είναι διαθέσιμο και σε δυο ειδικές εκδόσεις, την Track Edition και την 45th Anniversary Edition. Η πρώτη θα εστιάζει για χρήση εντός πίστας με ειδικές αναρτήσεις, σφυρήλατες αλουμινένιες ζάντες της Rays και ελαστικά Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600 DSST, με την 45th Anniversary Edition να βγαίνει στην αγορά σε μόλις 45 μονάδες, να βασίζεται στην GT-R Premium Edition και να είναι βαμμένη σε χρώμα Silica Brass. Τέλος στην έκδοση Premium υπάρχουν διαθέσιμες νέες ζάντες της RAYS σε “Hyper Blue Black chrome” χρώμα.

2015 Nissan GT-R Goes on Sale

• Refinements to the chassis result in an enhanced touring character
• A quieter, more luxurious cabin, with a significant reduction of noise and vibration
• The addition of a new trim level, the Track Edition engineered by nismo

YOKOHAMA, Japan (November 25, 2014) – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has announced that the 2015 Nissan GT-R will go on sale today at all Nissan dealerships throughout Japan.

Since its release in 2007, the Nissan GT-R has been recognized as the world’s foremost high performance super sports car, embodying Nissan’s commitment to “innovation that excites” like no other vehicle.

The GT-R continues its legacy as the ultimate “GT” (Grand Tourer), armed with a comfortable ride, a high level of refinement and benchmark fit and finish; while its world-class high performance embodies the “R” in its name (Racing technology). Thus, its “multi performance” character allows the driver to enjoy the full depths of the GT-R’s capabilities, whether navigating corners of a winding mountain road, simply cruising on the open highway or even running errands on neighborhood streets.

Among the modifications to the 2014 Nissan GT-R were improvements to the car’s driving comfort – without any sacrifice to its remarkable performance. The 2015 model takes that mission one step further, dramatically improving the car’s ride quality, while keeping the GT-R one of the best handling cars in the world. From low parking lot speeds to the extreme cornering situations of a race track, the 2015 GT-R exhibits better handling stability than ever before, enabling the driver to trace the desired driving line with unmatched precision. Also, noise and vibration have been significantly reduced to further improve the environment within the GT-R’s cabin.

For drivers who desire even more performance, Nissan has added the Track Edition, engineered by nismo, a new grade based on the standard model enhanced with Nismo technology.

2015 Nissan GT-R Overview
The same superior supercar performance, now with a more mature, civilized attitude

1. Mechanism

Suspension
Damper rates of the shock absorbers and the ECU setting have been modified to improve cornering stability, allowing the driver to trace the desired driving line. The same modifications reduce the amount of steering corrections necessary on rough roads, adding a further sense of security in less than ideal driving conditions.

Tires
The material and the inner structure of the tires have been improved for better straight-line stability and increased stability over uneven road surfaces. The changes also improve ride quality and driver confidence.

Brakes
The shim structure between the brake pads and caliper pistons has been modified, along with the brake pad itself, improving braking feel from initial activation and better overall braking control. Brake noise has been reduced without sacrificing performance.

Steering
The Steering Dynamic Damper has been optimized, reducing vibration at engine idle.

Engine-Transmission-Drivetrain 
The engine and transmission management systems have been retuned. Also the clearance (backlash) of the transaxle and driveshaft has been modified to reduce vibration and noise coming from stepping on and off the accelerator pedal.
The bearings inside the flywheel housing have been modified to reduce noise.

Others
The material for the trunk carpet has been changed to improve sound insulation.

2. Specification, accessories
The RAYS double-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels (Hyper Blue Black chrome color coat), which were previously available only for a limited time as a dealer option, are now officially available as a manufacturer option(*1).

*1:Premium Edition only.

3. Track edition engineered by nismo

For drivers who desire even more performance and flair, Nissan adds the new Track Edition engineered by nismo. This new grade comes equipped with custom-made GT-R Nismo parts engineered from technology accumulated at Nismo. The main modifications are listed below.

• Custom adhesive bonding for increased body shell rigidity
• Custom flared front fenders (with outlet air duct)
• Custom suspension
• Custom stabilizer (front and rear higher spring rates)
• Custom RAYS forged aluminum-alloy wheels
• Custom tires: Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST
