Nissan Unveils New Track Pack for the GT-R

Post by Sabre »

Torque Report

Image
Nissan has already announced that the 2013 Nissan GT-R is getting some power upgrades in the form of 545 horsepower and 463 lb-ft. of torque from its supercharged 3.8L V6. If the upgrades are still not enough and you want an edge on the track, Nissan is going to offer a new Track Pack for the GT-R.

On the outside, the most noticeable difference is the lightweight six-spoke RAYS alloy-wheels with gloss black painted centers. The brakes are are cooled by additional cooling ducts built into the front bumper, which reduces the operating temperature of the front brake discs by as much as 100 degrees during track use. Ducts hidden behind the rear wheels, channel cooling air over the rear discs. Lastly the suspension's spring rates have been revised.

Inside the Recaro are covered in a high grip material and the rear seats have been deleted to save weight.

In the UK the Track Pack adds £10,000 to the £74,450 list price of the standard GT-R, making it £84,450. U.S. pricing hasn't been announced.
That's a hefty price for a set of wheels (I know they are really nice though...), brake ducts and some springs, especially considering they are actually deleting the rear seats.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
