With a substantial power increase and a raft of enhancements to the chassis, the interior and to its aerodynamic performance, the 2011 Nissan GT-R has reaffirmed its position as setting the supercar standard.

"When it was launched just over three years ago, the Nissan GT-R was heralded as a benchmark offering supercar performance at an affordable price. It won award after award and unstinting praise from everyone lucky enough to drive it. It would have been easy to sit back and rest on our laurels… but we don't do that at Nissan. Welcome the 2011 GT-R, the best GT-R yet.” - Andy Palmer, Senior Vice President, Product Planning, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

More power, more downforce, more grip and more excitement – that’s the promise from the 2011 Nissan GT-R.

While the original multi-award winning GT-R offered breathtaking performance and exemplary handling, that hasn’t stopped Nissan’s team of dedicated engineers and designers from making the best even better.

For 2011, the definitive accessible supercar has been refined even further. Every aspect the car has been enhanced and improved. Performance from the 3.8-litre twin turbocharged V6 engine has been boosted by a healthy 45 PS to a remarkable 530 PS (390 kW) while recalibrating the engine’s control module, modifying the exhaust system and fitting a new catalyst have improved both fuel economy and emissions.

A series of subtle but significant changes to the chassis have sharpened the already impressive handling, while new tyres, wheels and bigger brakes also enhance the driving experience.

Subtle exterior revisions have not only give the GT-R a new look, but improved the car’s already world-beating aerodynamic performance. Downforce has improved by about 10 per cent while the co-efficient of drag has been lowered to just 0.26.

Inside a number of changes have been made to enhance the sports luxury feel. There are two versions of the standard car available: Premium Edition and Black Edition. Both are comprehensively equipped, but the Premium Edition exhibits a more luxurious style while the Black Edition, with its standard Recaro racing seats, accentuates the car’s performance potential.

For the lucky few, there’s a third, even more exclusive version. The GT-R Egoist is built to special order and boasts the finest leather interior and other bespoke features.

“A new raft of superlatives is needed to describe the 2011 Nissan GT-R. Every aspect of the car has been enhanced to the point where the high standards set by the original have been surpassed at every level. The GT-R is a truly remarkable machine,” said Andy Palmer.
