2015 Nissan GT-R Specifications and Features

2015 Nissan GT-R Specifications and Features - Next Nissan GT-R to use Le Mans V6 engine Nissan’s Ben Bowlby tells TG next-gen GT-R utilize variant of LMP1 twin-turbo V6 Future Nissan GT-Rs will likely use a successor to the current twin-turbo V6 engine in Nissan's 2015 LMP1 entrepeneur.

Speaking to TopGear.com, Ben Bowlby - the brains behind Nissan's radical Le Mans prototype - confirmed that a version of the twin-turbo V6 used to power the 1250bhp hybrid will feature in the GT-R. "The 3.0-litre V6 is a sort of god-child of the true, road-going GT-R," Ben told TG. "It's a direct injection engine, and the combustion technology, and integration of turbo and intake system within the head design, is all very worthwhile and highly applicable towards the road. "If it would be a crazy engine - super light with a short life - the truth is that it wouldn't be applicable. But it revs to the same in principle as the road-going car - 6,500rpm - and is truly an early ancestor of what in order to be a future Nissan GT-R engine." He stated how racing has helped fast-track the increase in this unit, that is proving to be one of one of the most reliable components on top of the LMP1 racer. "I think it's important development that we shortcut by going racing. 

We prove you may do an incredibly efficient and very powerful engine - has got roughly the same power as the highway car (around or just over 550bhp) but burn about an additional of the fuel doing it. "Actually it's very crucial that things like racing do help change people's perspective," explains Ben, "and that having a more fuel efficient car is better for the environment and less wasteful." We am aware of course, that whatever shape this new, LMP1-derived engine takes, it'll most be matched up with a hybrid system insanely. Nissan's chief creative officer Shiro Nakamura confirmed to TopGear.com a while back that indeed another GT-R, due sometime in 2018 at the earliest, "will be a hybrid." So, an engine forged in racing, a hybrid setup and - hopefully - some with the styling from the Vision GT perception. Hands up who's excited? 2015
