VIDEO: 2013 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 Model Unveiled & Uk Test Dates

Great news! Nismo has released the 2013 GT-R GT3 and here's a video of it in testing, looking menacing. Like it's faster, harder, stronger road going GT-R cousin, the FIA GT3-spec car is much improved, focusing on: Better engine performance & durability, greater aerodynamic performance, improved brake balance, new suspension settings to suit the new aerodynamics package and new gear ratios to optimize engine output increase.
The car's VR38DETT V6 Twin Turbocharged motor unleashes a maximum 405kw (550ps) horsepower and maximum torque of 637Nm. Standard equipment includes a six speed sequential manual gearbox, semi-automatic paddle shift and adjustable steering wheel. As mandated by FIA GT3 rules, the car is rear-wheel-drive. The engine sees the biggest contribution to performance enhancement, which includes new camshaft timing, as well as greater reinforcement for added durability. And several modifications were made to enhance aerodynamics: canards were added to the front and the front fender louvers were enlarged, plus the positioning of the rear wing was optimized. These changes improved aerodynamic balance between front and rear, and increased downforce, which enhanced overall aerodynamic performance.
The 2012 out-going model, which debuted this March, has won all over the world entered by Nismo (NDDP Racing) as well as various customer racing teams, racing in this year's SUPER GT series (GT 300 class), Super Taikyu (GT3 class), British GT Championship and GT Cup. Nismo say: "We have developed the 2013 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 using all the valuable data brought back from these races, in addition to the dyno, track tests, and customer feedback, to enhance its competitiveness and performance."

The 2013 model, Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 is manufactured on demand, at a cost here in the UK (Europe & Russia) of £270,000. Orders will be accepted from November 13, 2012 on. Should the number of orders exceed production capacity, Nismo retains the right to make final decisions on order fulfillment. Additionally, Nismo is currently preparing an update kit for the 2012 model, Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3.
