completely rewrote the rules.
And then, after it had turned the world on its ear, we continued to
improve it. Because we choose to lead. To create. To inspire. With an
unmatched blend of technology and soul, the GT-R is a singular supercar,
so intuitive anyone can drive it. So capable, it can be driven anytime and
anywhere.
to an even more amazing level. Nissan. Innovation that excites.

Before you rewrite the rules, you must establish them. So we boldly penned the
absolute minimums the GT-R would need to reach. When the GT-R launched in
2009, we not only met our original goals – we shattered them.
And while some might have rested on their laurels, that’s not the Nissan way.
Instead, we immediately started looking for ways to further develop the GT-R. The
results speak for themselves: a top speed of 196 mph, and an impressive
power-to-weight ratio of 7.0 lbs./hp. During the development stages, the 2012
GT-R recorded a breathtaking 7-minute, 24.22-second lap of the Nürburgring.
A more powerful GT-R bowed for the 2013 model, followed by an even more
focused model for 2014. How best to test the ongoing refinements? Turn the page.
1_ Achieve a top speed over 186.4 mph.
2_ Have a power-to-weight ratio of 8.8 lbs./hp.
3_ Lap the Nürburgring in under 8 minutes.

RETURN TO THE ’RING.
Information Provided by:
The Nürburgring is the great equalizer when it comes to supercar
performance. All the great marques test and develop their vehicles
here. During testing in 2007, the all-new GT-R created a sensation
when it posted an official 7-minute, 38-second lap – the fastest lap
ever for a production car. But for team GT-R, it was just the
beginning. In September 2010, the 2012 GT-R sent another shock
wave through the performance world with an unofficial time of 7
minutes, 24.22 seconds. While setting record lap times is one thing,
team GT-R knew it was time for a more extreme test. So in May
2012, the GT-R returned to the Nürburgring to compete in a grueling
24-hour race. Against full-on race cars, the stock production GT-R
took incredible punishment, and was able not only to finish – a
major accomplishment – but also gained invaluable knowledge that
will be used to make future editions even stronger, more capable,
and most certainly, faster. Stay tuned. New records to follow.
The “Green Hell.” Welcome to the
Nürburgring, the world’s most torturous track. 13 miles long, 73 bends in
the picturesque Eifel mountains of
Germany. The GT-R logged thousands
of miles at the ’Ring, consistently
recording lap times only matched by a
few of the world’s most capable – and
most expensive – production cars.

MAKING PERFORMANCE

OUT OF THIN AIR.
For supercars, air is the enemy, to be avoided as much as possible. But Nissan took a unique philosophy
to win this battle. Building on Nissan’s extensive racing experience, the GT-R spent two years at the rollingroad wind tunnel at Group Lotus in Europe and 1.5 years in Yoshitaka Suzuka in Japan fine-tuning the
secrets of bringing racecar aerodynamics to the street. Continuous development means that the 2014 GT-R
enjoys an incredibly slippery 0.26 coefficient of drag, impressive downforce for traction and control, and
superior airflow management and cooling of key components.
Rear spoiler creates downforce Functional hood scoops assist
cooling in engine compartment
Large grille opening with rounded
edges optimizes cooling of engine,
inter-coolers and running gear with
minimum drag
Out of sight, but not out of mind. With traditional vehicles, air hitting components underneath the vehicle
creates drag – slowing the car and creating lift – reducing grip and traction. Because traditional wind tunnels
leave out a key component in design – the effect of the airflow of the road moving under the car – Nissan
tested the GT-R in a unique wind tunnel with a “rolling road” that moves beneath the vehicle. The result: a
series of composite panels beneath the vehicle (a technique derived from racecars), that not only channels
cooling air to the running gear, but also makes sure the underside remains clear of obstructions, creating
downforce that literally pulls the car to the road.
Vent on the side of rear bumper
helps manage airflow toward the
rear of the vehicle
Vents at the back of the front fenders
create downforce while reducing
pressure in the front wheel arches
and helping vent the brakes
Ridges at the corners of the
front air dam enhance transition
of airflow from front of GT-R
to the sides
Rear diffuser helps drive the undercar flow. Large amounts of downforce
are generated by increasing air speed
underneath the vehicle
Key components, including the
exhaust, remain open to maximize
cooling effect
The smooth underbody at the front
of the GT-R helps accelerate air
underneath the vehicle for maximum
cooling and front-end grip
