Under the hood, the Nissan GT-R features an all-new 3.8-litre twin
turbo V6 “VR38? engine, featuring plasma-sprayed bores and a special
twin-turbo exhaust manifold system. A secondary air management system
enables the newly designed powerplant to provide approximately 40kg/m
of torque during ordinary low-rev driving, which gives an optimum
air-fuel ratio for around-town efficiency and helps the Nissan GT-R
meet ultra-low emission vehicle (U-LEV) standards in Japan.
The Nissan GT-R’s new engine produces 480PS (353kW) at 6400rpm and
maximum torque of 60kgm (588Nm) from 3200 to 5200rpm. Putting the power
to the ground is an all-new GR6-type dual clutch transmission, with
paddle shifting and a Borg Warner six-plate dual clutch for direct
control.
