Changes for next year’s Nissan GT-R

We already know that the Nissan GT-R has been updated for next year but previously details have been scarce. We only know the suspension had been updated, a diffuser with cooling ducts had been added (previously only on the SpecV) and some reduction in airflow resistance to better engine response at low to mid-range engine speeds.


Nissan Europe’s press release has the changes in better detail:

Front spring and damper rates have been changed to improve ride comfort, and for more accurate control of suspension movement for better responsiveness.

The rear suspension radius rod bushings have been made stiffer to give improved feel and responsiveness during cornering.

Computer logic that controls torque distribution between the front and rear axles have been changed to reduce rear axle binding that occurs when differential fluids are cold.

Transmission logic has been altered to give a later downshift from 6th gear to 5th gear when being driven in automatic mode. A more aggressive downshift has been applied for changing from 4 to 3 and 3 to 2.

NACA cooling ducts added to the rear diffuser which provides better airflow to cool the exhaust and transmission (mounted at rear).

Front transmission mount has been stiffened and this reduces vibration through the driveline under high-load conditions.

EBD logic has been moved to apply more brake power rearwards to improve braking stability under dry conditions.

Rear brake cross spring design has been improved to reduce noise.

An improved air deflector design increases cooling to the rear brakes, which is probably needed now that the EBD has increased rear brake bias.

CO2 emissions have dropped by 3g/km – now at 295g/km.

Better insulation for the rear seats, improving cabin NVH.

Double layer clearcoat for the bumpers.

Gun metallic finish surrounds for the speedometer and RPM meter.

New audio-navi system with 40GB HDD storage (9.3GB for music), 3D navigation with Point of Interest supplied by Michelin (restaurants, etc), A2DP bluetooth audio streaming, voice-controlled menu operation and higher resolution 7 inch screen (4 times better resolution).
