R35 GT-R V-Spec Spied At Nürburgring
April 9, 2008 by Leon
As if the R35 GT-R couldn’t get any more insane, Nissan decides to go on and develop a V-Spec version. And that’s a good thing because as we all know, you can never, and I mean never, have too much power.
They’re currently testing the car at the infamous Nürburgring in Germany, where Nissan have set a goal to achieve a time below 7 minutes 25 seconds for the V-Spec; some 18 seconds quicker than the standard GT-R.
Nissan are upping the boost to produce just under 560PS and will be putting the V-Spec on a crash diet in order to lose 150kg to make it slimmer than its fatter and more standard older brother. You’ll also notice there are some new ducts in the front bar which are most likely there to feed more air to what is rumoured to be a brand new carbon-ceramic braking package.
There is also rumoured to be a host of carbon fiber items such as body panels and a rear wing, which has been blacked out on the V-Spec on it’s trundles around the track.
So if you’ve been dreaming about being the toast of your town and buying a new GT-R, maybe you should hold off and wait for this to come out. Or you could just buy both - why not?
