Post Spy Shots: Nissan GT-R Spec-V

Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupes, Sports/GTs, Supercars, Nissan

Click above for high-res gallery of Nissan GT-R Spec-V spy shots

The Nissan GT-R has already proven it can more than hold its own against competition like the Porsche 911 Turbo and Chevy Corvette Z06, but don't forget that Nissan still plans on revealing a victory specification, i.e. V-Spec, model of the car. Spy photogs from KGP Photography recently caught what they believe is the GT-R V-Spec being unloaded from a transport truck at the Nurburgring in Germany for testing. While the car doesn't outwardly appear as different from the base GT-R as we expected, some differences are noticeable including more air intakes in the revised front splitter, new wheels and a different brake package (carbon ceramic perhaps?), and what could be a carbon fiber rear spoiler. Reports suggest that whole body panels on the Spec-V model will be comprised of carbon fiber, which should, among other things, help reduce the car's portly weight by at least a few hundred pounds. While the spy shooters didn't get to hear the engine fire up, rumor has it that the GT-R V-Spec will be more powerful than the base model, an achievement that shouldn't be hard to accomplish considering dyno results suggest that the twin-turbo 3.8L V6 is already making more than Nissan's official claim of 473 horsepower. We're also not sure on what Nissan's export plans are for the GT-R V-Spec, though it will be sold in limited quantities to some lucky Japanese for sure.

No matter how many times you (and others) mention this...people will still consider it auto and whack compared to a manual tranny.

I like what I see and read in the reviews. I just wish I can try it out personally.

Some people still prefer the traditional manual gearbox because they favor the hands-on, control-of-the-gears-in-your-hand-and-left-foot feeling over the simple flick of a switch to handle the ever so precise and quick shifting. I'm personally all for the skyline dual-clutch paddle-shift tranny, because that simply displays the refinement and technology of Nissan in the racing department. I'm pretty sure they also don't want some rich kid buying one of these just for the sake of having a cool car and then coming back to the dealer every other month because of a toasted clutch from the misuse or lack or knowledge on how to shift correctly.

Point is, for those that just don't get it, this car was made with perfection in mind. And whether or not you know how to shift, that's how it's going to perform, no matter who drives it.

the reason nissan isnt supplying a manual 6 speed gear box has nothing to do with some rich kid burning up clutches or major auto tranny technology inspired by F1 cars or even emissions as nissan is claiming...it boils down 100% to one word and one word alone...

MARKETING

thats it...because nissan is sending 1500 GTRs here in the first year in ALL automatic transmissions...that means EVERYONE can buy one...not just people who are able to drive a manual gearbox

personally i think it stupid of nissan to do this...as a consumer they completely lost me as a potential buyer (not that i have the money to buy a GTR...im speaking in a hypothetical manor)...i wouldnt want one simply because i cant the car in 5/6 speed manual tranny...BUT...people like me are VERY few and far between now...especially with people who have the money for such an investment.

point is...nissan KNOWS it can market its super car with an auto tranny because EVERYONE can drive it and it neglects a MINOR market share who perfer manual transmissions over automatic

nissan DOES infact have a 6 speed tranny GTR ready...it has been photographed and has been driven by a select few jouranlists on the web

1. Nissan is having no problem selling the GTR's with the semi auto.
2. Already major test drivers have complimented this transmission.
3. Your own personal preferences blind you to the beauty of technology.
4. You will probably come back with some wise ass remark showing your lack of understanding and a attempt at a personal put down for my response to your post.
5. Nissan is planning on releasing a 6 speed trans version in the future for hards like.
6. Can you even afford to purchase this car to begin with?
7. Fact is the car is supposed to be the pinnacle of technology.
8. A double clutch paddle shifting trans is the pinnacle of technoloy in transmissions
9. Nissan has not made a mistake,they have waiting lists for the cars.
10. your post is pure speculation on your part based on your beliefs.

Have a nice day.

...and to think this is just the beginning. Remember the 350z when it first came out, now just five years latter the engine and suspension are much improved. Or the difference between the r32, which was probably the most advanced car of it's time to the r34 which is still taking names on the track in modified form today. If/when they release a Nur spec, LM or N1 version it will definitely have the euros and chevrolet sleeping by their drawing boards like the 300zxtt did in 1990, if they haven't done so already. Personally I can't wait to see this thing on the track if teams start using it in ALMS and World Challenge. Time to break out the nissan banners guys!

dorkidori - I don't see a manual transmission being released...even when Porsche switches to DSG transmissions.

Dorkidori, one of the main reason the GTR is so damn perfect and fast is because of this tranny. IE it is fool proof.

i consider it manual, since YOU decide when you shift.

it just shifts fast and perfect like an auto, WHEN you tell it to.


the only drawback is that you can't do things like clutch kick, &c

Hey, if a computer can shift faster than me, then I'll probably just bow down to technology and enjoy it w/o the H pattern.
Sadly I haven't done much research into the trans but from what you speak of drift freaq I'm glad you gave ppl like me some technical info. I had no idea that it was that advanced of an 'automatic' trans, so I thank you for that.

In a perfect world though, we would have a skyline with an H pattern and paddle shifts.... and lower gas prices/renewable fuel.
I wonder if there is a bump shift feature on the shifter stick... (goes to google lol)
