Nissan has been testing some kind of SpecM variant of the 2011 GT-R it seems. The specification of the model is said to be more luxurious and road-friendly with more comfortable suspension settings on offer.
There’s also forged wheels and a redesigned rear bumper, with addition flutes in the rear corners moulded in as well. The new model is said to have the same engine specifications as the current 2010 model, although, the car in the video has slightly revised exhaust outlets which seem to affect the noise.
Heavily camouflaged, the front bumper appears to be more aggressive with sharper surfaces and pointier corners. It’s unclear what external details will feature on the SpecM compared to the base 2011 model.
Here’s a thorough video capturing some testing done on the ‘Ring. Check out the speed entering the Karussell…
I’d think there’s more than just the M Spec variant at test here. Normal, Spec V and Spec M more than likely with a bit of a styling update to them all and whatever Spec M has to offer.
With the recent Renault, Nissan, Benz alliance I’d be not surprized to see the 7-Speed DCT as used by Ferrari and Mercedes in the SLS make it’s way into the GTR.
Not much chance as the GTR gearbox is purpose built..i.e rear mounted!
Was that a CLS @ 40 seconds in the background
Yes, yes it was – and @ 4:30…
That thing is flying! Needs a louder exhaust though – cause the tyre squeal is louder than the car itself! :(
Isn’t in the old Skyline regime, the Spec-M is the luxury spec?
I’ll take the Aston screaming past it anyday!
So would I – but which is more affordable – and better value?
It wont be screaming past for long!
I have the Aston for the weekdays and Gtr for the weekend!!
