Nissan GT-R V-spec arriving in 2009 - Video

According to latest reports Nissan will be building an even more potent version of the GT-R but it won’t arrive until 2009, one year after the super-coupe is launched in most markets. The new model will carry the familiar V-Spec title, a badge used by the older R32-R34 series cars to denote the GT-R’s racing success as well as some serious performance enhancements.

A Nissan source has revealed to Edmunds that a V-spec version of the all-new GT-R will arrive in 2009 as a 2010 model. The new car is still under development but when it arrives it will be more powerful and lighter than the standard version, which suggest the rumored 7m 38s Nurburgring time could fall further.

Previous V-spec cars featured an improved brake package, lowered suspension, and plenty of carbon-fiber and aluminum. The latest GT-R series was also rumored to feature a high-performance ‘EVO’ model that was tipped to weigh up to 250kg less than the standard car and develop up to 530hp.

Nissan GT-R V-Spec spied

Despite its immense performance, the new Nissan GT-R tips the scales at nearly two-tonnes - it is without doubt the only Achilles heel of this unstoppable beast. However even before the GT-R has made it into showrooms around the world, Nissan has been busy developing its trademark V-Spec series. The formula is simple - less weight, more power.

Best estimates at the moment rate the V-Spec edition with at least 410kW - up from 358kW in the standard GT-R.An equally substantial weight-loss is also anticipated, speculated to be at least 150kg lighter. In addition to a revised front splitter with integrated air intakes - presumably for the brakes, carbon fibre is expected to replace many of the major body panels to save weight.

The mismatched bonnet colour may also indicate a full carbon-fibre replacement.The golden Brembo calipers are a no-show on the V-Spec mule, instead revealing an enviable carbon-ceramic setup.

Already blitzing the competition around the now benchmark Nurburgring race track in Germany, Nissan’s objective for the V-Spec is a sub-7.25 minute lap time - 18 seconds faster than the current GT-R.

Nissan GT-R V-Spec 70 hp more, 150 kg less

What is better than efficient? Perhaps "super-efficient" would be the word. Well according to the Nissan, the word on everyone's lips is V-Spec; and it is easy to imagine why. It originally took 7 minutes 38 seconds for the Nissan GT-R to tear round the track at Nuerburgring, but Nissan want more - they want to beat the record of 7 minutes 25 seconds.

In reality, the GT-R is not so much a devastating rocket, but a precision rifle - extremely efficient. The forthcoming 'extreme' model, the V-Spec will be a bit of both. It will be optimised to attain, or perhaps even redefine, perfection. Auto Express, going by the latest gossip, have put forward the idea that the
original power output of 473bhp will be increased to a huge 550bhp, matched by a weight reduction of 150kg. Consequently, the redefined weight to power output ratio of 2.9 kg/ bhp, would be a formidable weapon. Even the body-kit will get a make-over, with side-skirts and rear spoiler in order to prevent take-off. It should be released in 2010 at a price of no less that 100,000 Euro.
