Future models - Nissan - GT-RNissan claims new benchmark for GT-RGetaway car: The GT-R's chief engineer believes that a standard car, in perfect track and weather conditions, is capable of 0-100km/h in under three seconds. Production 2011 ‘Godzilla’ races to 100km/h in three seconds13 Dec 2010 NISSAN claims to have set a new acceleration benchmark with the latest GT-R, setting a 0-100km/h sprint time of just 3.046 seconds. However, a Wikipedia list contains a number of production cars with faster acceleration times – headed by the Ariel Atom 500 V8 at 2.1s, followed by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport at 2.4s – so perhaps the company’s new “benchmark” is for Japanese cars. The GT-R’s time was recorded on a cool 13-degree day in Japan last month and the Nissan engineers believe it would easily have cracked the three-second barrier if the road temperature had been higher. Nissan Australia said the more powerful R35 GT-R will go on sale in Australia in March priced from $168,800 plus on-road costs. A standard production 2011 model year GT-R was used for the acceleration test on the main straight at Sendai Highland Raceway north of Tokyo, witnessed by a group of Japanese journalists and recorded by a V-Box measuring device. ![]() The 2011 model GT-R achieves its maximum acceleration when the driver selects ‘R-Mode’ and activates the revised ‘VDC-R’ traction program to maximise grip, gear-change and engine performance. Times of 3.1 seconds were still reportedly achieved using the less-aggressive ‘A-mode’. Along with increased power, the up-rated traction system and other features, the upgraded MY2011 GT-R will be offered in two additional colours called GT Blue and Jet Black. ![]() Read moreAll future models![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() GT-R pricing
