Notes on the “Supercar”
Friday, October 26th, 2007Nissan has come up with their 2009 GT-R. It has the capacity to run up to 193 mph. It can run 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Now, that’s really something. The 2009 Nissan GT-R features 473 hp, 433 lb. ft. twin-turbo V6 and an all-wheel-drive. Apart from this, it features dual-clutch six-speed automatic that allows for one to operate through the paddles on the steering wheel. Its running capacity is not far off from the Porsche Turbo. The one thing that separates the two is that the 2009 Nissan GT-R is not a race car. It can be used to run on the streets and one can actually put on a license plate on it.
The chief engineer that is hands-on the new GT-R says that they especially designed and engineered the said vehicle to be all-around, for all-seasons, and an all-weather car that is a comfort to drive on a daily basis. For all you racers out there who are trying to find the right car that will not fall short in comparison to the one you’re using, the 2009 Nissan GT-R might be the best car for you. Many regard the 2009 Nissan GT-R as a supercar. It has a carbon fiber prop shop that runs back to the transaxle and also has the capacity to incorporate the transmission, clutch as well as the transaxle together. All these to establish a good damping and stiffness ability. When one shifts gears, it is done with the use of a twin-clutch system. There is one clutch that is used to handle odd gears while the other clutch is used for even ones. Shifting gears take only 0.2 seconds in the GT-R. Less than a second! It has a shaft that sends power to the front wheels and can split the torque to 2/98 under hard acceleration and 50/50 under normal driving.
It is geared with Bilstein shocks called the Bilstein Damptronic shocks that come in three settings: the R, Sports, and Comfort. I really thought the 2009 Nissan GT-R will have Nissan shocks on it but it looks like the people behind the making of it have good reasons for choosing Bilstein shocks.
