For the Nissan GT-R in 2014, the lessons of the Nürburgring has led to the modernization of the engine, to improve the response in the medium and high speed range, as well as many changes in the shock absorbers, springs and front stabilizer. Unfortunately, the peak power remains at 545 hp and 627 Nm of torque.
However, the company promises that the overall performance of the car rises to the next level, and will improve high-speed stability, and comfort. Nissan does not mention how long the new GT-R takes to go round the Nurburgring, but we're willing to bet that he will beat the official time (7:24.22) set in 2011.
