The turbocharger, pistons, camshaft and other parts are all new.
Italdesign launched the limited-edition Nissan GT-R50 in late 2019. It features a bold design and big performance numbers. It still has the iconic twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter V6 engine but produces a lot more power that what you get in a regular GT_0_. It does this by using the data-inline-widget=”internal-links” data params=”%7B%22make_alias%22%3A%22nissan%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22gtr%22%7D” data type-id=”1″ href=”https://www.motor1.com/nissan/gtr/”>GT–R/a> Nismo explains the modifications made to the transaxle and mill that allow it to produce 110 horsepower more than the stock GT-R Nismo.
The engine was developed by Nismo and Nissan Technical Center. They combined their racing experience from the FIA GT3-spec GT-R Nismo GT3 to create this engine. The engine’s 12 percent new components include the turbocharger and connecting rods as well as the pistons, fuel incentives, camshafts and catalyzer. To handle more power, the company also increased the strength of the transaxle using high-strength materials. The engine produces 710 horsepower (529 kW) as well as 575 pound-feet (780 Newton meters) of torque.
Nismo claims the car travels 0.8 seconds faster from zero to 124 mph (200 km/h) than the current Nissan GT-R Nismo. The engine meets Euro 6 emission standards, despite the extra power. Nissan made several modifications to the car, including stronger Brembo brakes to increase stopping power and Bilstein shocks to improve the suspension with continuously adjustable damping.
The GT-R50 is also unique in design. It has 21-inch alloy wheels. But that’s only the beginning of the visual changes. The coupe’s profile is altered by the new roof. An adjustable wing keeps the rear of the car planted on the pavement. Although Nissan did not redesign the interior, it did add carbon fiber, leather and Alcantara. Nissan will produce 50 copies of the supercar at a cost exceeding EUR990,000. Each car would be more than EUR1.2 million, based on current exchange rates. Delivery will begin in the middle of 2021.
