GT-R SPECV : Nissan Announces New GT-R SpecV Model

Finally the GT-R the world's been waiting for is now official, an already incredible piece of technology (well done guys on this one), is more even more incredible! Bye bye the mad four seater, the GT-R SpecV is now exclusively a two seater (Recaro carbon fiber bucket seats)!

Available only in Black Opal (strange since a Nissan PR photo gallery includes a Dark Metal Gray, Super Black, Brillant White Pearl, and Vibrant Red GT-R SPecV), the GT-R SpecV receives many new carbon fiber parts including a rear spoiler, a grille, and brake ducts.

Performance is enhanced (39hp) with a new high gear boost control device that momentarily boosts the engine's twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy. Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes that provide powerful stopping performance.

The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminum wheels that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) since September 2008. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels, together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip tires, combine to deliver the SpecV's exceptional performance.

The GT-R SpecV is now almost perfect, but we still just hate those poorly designed Nismo wheels... Anyway, here are more than 20 photos of the beast just for your own pleasure!
