About the 2015 Nissan GT-
While the 2015 GT-R maintains its position as one of the most strikin
supercars in the market today, an update to the GT-R's lights enhance
its visual impact. The new, efficient multi-LED headlights create
distinctive GT-R "lightning" motif, generating a bol
exterior visual signature. The new four-LED headlights feature a
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) that automatically adapts th
angle of the light beam at high speeds

At the rear, the GT-R's distinctive four-ring taillight signature no
forms coherent circles of illumination, giving the GT-R an equall
distinctive rear appearance. The 2015 GT-R also adds a new exterio
body color – Regal Red with highlights of real gold flakes for adde
brilliance. A lightweight carbon fiber trunklid is added to the Trac
Edition

Inside, GT-R now includes a choice of three interior color schemes
including a new hand-stitched Ivory color that is available with th
Premium Interior Package. The optional Premium Interior Package
offered in both Ivory and Red Amber, includes semi-aniline leathe
appointments with hand-stitching on the front seats, along wit
accents on the instrument panel, steering wheel, door trim, armrest
and shift knob

Another significant enhancement for 2014 is the addition of the ne
Bose® Active Noise Cancellation system tuned to reduce engine boomin
sounds (standard on all models), which, in conjunction with additiona
sound insulation, helps lower NVH and enhance ride comfort

Chassis enhancements for 2015 are balanced between the suspension
steering and braking systems and tire design. While chassi
development has been ongoing since the GT-R's introduction, th
sophisticated 4-wheel independent suspension has been fine-tuned t
reduce load fluctuation between the four wheels, giving bette
handling and more consistent grip. The tuning of these parts help
enhance road holding capability, resulting in a poised, confident rid
and outstanding traction on rough roads. The reduction in minut
vibrations and road noise helps provide a more relaxing, comfortabl
ride

All 2015 Nissan GT-Rs are again built on an exclusive Premium Midshi
platform, which enables the use of the unique independent rea
transaxle ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system. And while the upcomin
GT-R NISMO features a range of unique engine modifications, the 201
GT-R Premium, Black Edition and Track Edition once again are powere
by a potent 545-horsepower advanced VR38DETT 3.8-liter twin turbo V6
Torque is rated at 463 lb-ft. Fuel economy is rated at 16 mpg city and
23 mpg highway. The VR38DETT V6 is backed by an advanced
paddle-shifted sequential 6-speed dual clutch transmission, which can
be driver selected to shift at race car-like speeds.

GT-R's interior balances functionality with a sense of ease and
comfort. It features sculpted performance bucket seats for an optimal
driving position and a cockpit-style instrument panel with a large
center-mounted tachometer and multi-function display – which includes
mechanical and driving information, as well as an on-board driving
recorder. A specially designed 11-speaker Bose® sound system with
speakers mounted in rigid aluminum die cast panels, which provides
sound quality suitable for a supercar, is standard. Also standard on
all models is a RearView Monitor.

Along with GT-R Premium model, the GT-R Black Edition includes special
lightweight black aluminum forged RAYS® wheels, unique red and black
interior, Recaro® leather-appointed seats and a unique dry carbon
fiber rear spoiler.

The limited-production Track Edition (late availability) is designed
to take the legendary street supercar even closer to a pure
motorsports competition machine. It features a specially tuned
suspension, special brake cooling guides, front spoiler with carbon
fiber air ducts, special blue-trimmed high-grip seats and, new for
2015, a lightweight carbon fiber trunklid, heated front seats and the

Nissan needs to return it's sports cars to the relatively simple likes
of the 200sx / Silvia as competition for the Subari BRZ / Toyota 86
twins, which is apparently extremely popular and sells well.
