Nissan GT-R has won the Most Advanced Technology Award, one of the highly coveted awards of Car of the Year Japan 2008-2009.
The final selection, conducted by the Car of the Year Japan Executive Committee, took place from November 10 - 11 at Oiso, Kanagawa prefecture. In awarding winner, the jury cited the NISSAN GT-R “as a supercar that delivers powerful performance and clean emission, featuring an advanced new body structure combining carbon, aluminum and steel, in addition to its impressive dual-clutch transmission and the world’s first independent transaxle 4WD.”
Nissan GT-R has been on sale since December 6, 2007 in Japan and July 7, 2008 in North America. The NISSAN GT-R will be arriving in Europe next spring. It is one of the most talked supercars today and will continue to be as Nissan will be launching the spec-V version already in January. There will be just 10 units per month built of GT-R spec-V.
In addition there is a rumor that Nissan is going to build a GT-R LM version as well. LM version will get up to 600 hp. All this power will still come from the 3.8-liter V6. It would feature bigger brakes, lighter wheels, new suspension, new transmission and a new bodykit for better downforce.
