At this year’s Chicago Auto Show, Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has launched a new edition of the popular GT-R that goes by the name of Track Edition. It is scheduled to hit the firm’s dealers all around the world this May and will be sold in the U.S. in only 150 units. At its heart is the same V6 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine pumping out 545 hp (406 kW) and a peak torque of 627 Nm (463 lb-ft). The mill is linked to a dual clutch, 6-speed sequential gearbox which is capable of changing the gears in just 0.15 seconds. Customers will have to choose from these paint schemes: Deep Blue Pearl, Gun Metallic, Jet Black, Solid Red and Pearl White.
The special edition is distinguished by the absence of the rear seats which have been replaced by quilted cloth math which Nissan says it’s very lightweight. Other than that, the GT-R Track Edition has carbon fiber front and rear spoiler, higher grip front seats, a stiffer suspension setup, custom brake cooling guides and 6-spoke forged wheels wrapped around in Dunlop run-flat high-performance, nitrogen-filled tires. The wheels along with the rear spoiler are also available on the Nissan GT-R Black Edition available in select markets, including United States.
