GT-R TRACK PACK ARRIVES AT NISSAN’S 22 HIGH PERFORMANCE CENTERS
Nissan’s 22 High Performance Centers are braced for the first deliveries of the most focused GT-R.

GT-R owners are among the most demanding in the world. In response to demand Nissan has replied with the GT-R Track Pack – a new version of the Nissan supercar for those drivers who require a faster, lighter, harder GT-R and one that has that extra edge at the race track.

The new car is called the Track Pack and offers GT-R drivers a more focussed driving experience while still remaining fully road legal. Unlike aftermarket modifications, this GT-R has the full blessing of the car’s creator Kazutoshi Mizuno.

On the outside, the new car features special six-spoke RAYS alloy wheels with gloss black centers. In addition to looking good these wheels give a total weight saving over the standard 2012 GT-R of 10kg.

Additional brake cooling ducts built into the carbon front splitter reduce the operating temperature by as much 100 degrees during track use, whilst similar ducts hidden behind the rear wheels channel cooling air over the rear discs.

Track Pack also features special, stiffer suspension designed to optimize track performance. It comprises a harder set-up and increased body rigidity and has been jointly developed with the GT-R development driver Toshio Suzuki during extensive testing at the Nurburgring. It will allow GT-R customers to achieve the perfect set-up at the track but, thanks to the special dampers, customers will be able to change the suspension for road-use at a flick of a switch, making the GT-R Track Pack suitable for all environments.

The changes that make up the Track Pack are not just under the shell, though. Inside the car loses rear seats but gains two track-ready front sports seats covered in what is affectionately referred to as ‘magic cloth’ by the father of GT-R, Kazutoshi Mizuno. The Track Pack also boasts special blue-on-grey sports seats made from fabric and leather. The high friction fabric is a special material that allows occupants to ‘stick’ to the seats during hard cornering and braking.

A Track Pack emblem also sits on the dashboard helping to identify this special GT-R model, whilst more comfortable seat belts, an enhanced Bose audio system, and a rear-view camera as fitted to the standard MY2012 GT-R also feature.

Performance statistics remain unchanged to the ‘standard’ 2012 GT-R. That means Track Pack customers will still be able to enjoy the GT-R’s 550PS power output, and a 0-62 time of just 2.8 seconds.

The Track Pack is only available in the UK and Japan, and is priced at £10,000 more than the standard £74,450 GT-R.

 

wtf,..

that`s beyond awesome!!

stunning numbers as well!

btw, GTR owners may not be the most demanding but Nissan seems to be one of the most willing to deliver brands in that branch

 

I want one. That's the full extent of my input.

 

Cool car, doesn't sound like they have really changed much, but this article didn't go too in depth so we shall see

 

Can't get over that cheap plastic interior... sorry, not for me.
Engineering excellence aside - It's still just a Nissan I guess.

Curious to know how well the GTR will hold up in Porsche's back yard at the nuremberg 24hrs on May 17th. Then we'll know for sure if those numbers are gimmicks or if the car has REAL stamina to hold up with the champs!

 

the 24h cars are not a valid point of reference for any street car comparisons,..

 

I want one!

 

You can't really compare a Porsche to the GTR as it is a 4 seater compared to 2 seaters.

I wish they just went a bit crazier on the exterior.

 

Will need to keep the GTR in mind when shop'n for my next car

 

I liked my GTR for what it was. It accomplishes amazing things for its weight and size. The interior is cheap feeling and looking and the seats were BLAH, other then that watch out when you mash the throttle.
