Every effort has been made to ensure that the content of this publication is correct at the time of going to press (September 2008). This brochure has been produced featuring prototype vehicles exhibited at motor shows. In accordance with the company's policy of continuously improving its products, Nissan International reserves the right to change at any time the specification and the vehicles described and shown in this publication. [. . . ] The control is varied continuously as various sensors on the car measure speed, lateral and transverse acceleration, steering angles, tyre slip and other road surface and yaw rates.
The four-wheel drive system includes an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), the Nissan GT-R's stability control system. If off balance behavior is detected - such as sliding or skidding - torque to the wheels will be altered to help stabilise the car. Electronic traction control is also fitted to rear mechanical limited-slip differentials, preventing wheelspin and improving grip.
R-mode Utilises 4WD torque distribution effectively for vehicle stability
Normal mode ESP on to control braking and engine output
Off Disengages ESP control

Nissan has designed and developed a brand new engine specially for the Nissan GT-R, the VR38DETT. This 3. 8-litre unit uses twin IHI turbochargers and produces 485 PS (357 kW) at 6400rpm. This makes the Nissan GT-R one of the world's most powerful road cars. `More important than the absolute power, is the manner in which it is delivered, ' says chief vehicle engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno. `The engine is very tractable and that means it's very easy to drive, a key quality of the Nissan GT-R. The engines, like the transmissions, are all hand made with one craftsman handassembling the entire engine. The dedicated engine builders work in a special Nissan GT-R `clean room' area of Nissan's Yokohama plant.

With a coefficient of drag
Air turbulence is reduced
one of the most aerodynamic vehicles in the world and so it is even more impressive that it also generates downforce at the same time. The airflow from the engine bay through to the floor tunnel also produces downforce, in the same way race cars do. This successful balance of low air-resistance and great downforce is a result of cooperations with Group Lotus and Yoshitaka Suzuka.
(Cd) of just 0. 27, the GT-R is

Full floating callipers stabilise braking while preventing heat-induced distortion
Brembo monoblock six-piston callipers are used in front and four-piston at the rear. To generate strong braking force and prevent calliper distortion, racing-style three bolt structures are used. Drilled discs improve cooling
The Nissan GT-R is equipped with huge WW15" (380mm) diameter front and rear Brembo fully ventilated drilled steel disc brakes. They give superb feel as well as immense stopping power.

To allow you to obtain maximum enjoyment from the new Nissan GT-R, Nissan is offering a wealth of mechanical and driving information to the driver. The new multi-function meter, developed in conjunction with Polyphony Digital Inc, designer of the Gran Turismo series for Sony PlayStation, is situated in the central part of the dashboard. The system allows the driver to configure up to four pieces of information of their choice and it serves up useful information, including: Mechanical information - including engine water temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, transmission oil temperature, transmission oil pressure, turbocharger boost and front/rear torque split. [. . . ] R mode - the sportiest setting - speeds up the Nissan GT-R's already fast shift changes. The changes are sequential (as with the R mode) and automatic throttle `blipping' ensures that downshifts are amazingly smooth. turning circle (curb to curb) Maximum speed
