09 Skyline Gtr – be Amazed
Auto enthusiast around the world have been waiting for the next Nissan Skyline for some time now, particularly American enthusiasts, who are set to get their first factory-sanctioned taste of the performance legend when it makes it into US showrooms for the first time.
The beautiful GTR-Proto concept shown back in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Today, the 2008 Skyline appears to have had many track testing days at the world renowned Nürburgring race way.
First to get a taste of the new Nissan GTR is always its home country, Japan. The development of this car was structured around a multi-performance-super car theme. The Nissan GTR 2008 model is a sleek looking vehicle that has a twin turbo V6-engine performing all wheel drive. This beast has a premium midship package with fully balanced gravitational down-force with a trick multifunction performance monitor that features 11 different informational displays. Its body styling offers smooth body panels taken from its younger brother that doesn’t need any paintless dent repair.
The 2009 Nissan GT-R is powered by a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that generates 473 hp and 434 pound-feet of torque. With a unique Nissan Direct Ignition system and fully symmetrical dual intake a low-back pressure exhaust system has given an edge to its earlier models. A six-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission routes this prodigious power to the ground via an advanced all-wheel-drive system. It has dual overhead camshafts with variable intake-valve timing. Other unique features include aluminum pistons, electronic drive-by-wire throttle, super low-friction cylinder block and iridium-tipped spark plugs.
Rear-wheel drive has become more viable with recent advances in traction- and stability-control systems, and it is inherently lighter. The Lexus LF-A and the next Acura NSX both are expected to employ rear drive. On the other hand, the GT-R has employed rear-biased four-wheel drive since 1989, and it’s become an integral part of the GT-R’s mystique.
GT-R’s interior balances functionality with a sense of ease and comfort. It features sculpted performance bucket seats for an optimal driving position, a cockpit-style instrument panel with a large center-mounted tachometer and multi-function display – which includes mechanical and driving information, as well as an on-board driving recorder.
If you have 70,000 to spare, this is the ultimate Japanese Sports Car and best bang for your buck. Slide sideways with confidence and take the straights and long mountain runs in any weather condition.
