Nissan GT-R Spec V launched in Japan
The much-awaited 2009 Nissan GT-R Spec V has been unveiled in Japan. Contrary to popular rumours, there are no power upgrades, as Nissan instead focused on reducing weight to create a track-biased car. This leads us to believe that the standard engine-gearbox combination is already running at optimum, and any performance modifications done by tuning companies are simply reducing the life of the car.
The 478 hp 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 with dual-clutch transmission continues, but the GT-R Spec V has new exterior features that include a carbon-fibre rear spoiler, a carbon-fibre grille, and carbon-fibre brake ducts. Along with other colours, the Spec V is also available exclusively in “Ultimate Black Opal” colour.
The cabin features special Recaro carbon-fibre bucket seats, while the rear bench has been removed. Excessive carbon-fibre trim also covers the rear centre-storage box, instrument panel and other areas.
The only performance add-on is a new high-gear boost control device, which momentarily increases boost of the engine’s twin turbochargers for greater torque at medium-to-high speed, while also allowing the engine to operate at lower revs for improved fuel economy. Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system, retuned shocks, carbon-ceramic brakes, and lightweight 20-inch forged-aluminium wheels.
The limited-edition Nissan GT-R Spec V costs 15,750,000 yen (Dhs 630,000), and will only be sold at seven specific dealer outlets in Japan, each staffed by mechanics with special “GT-R SpecV training” and track-driving knowledge. But expect at least a few to creep into Dubai used car showrooms at twice the price, even if no one here has the skill to fix or even drive one.

the cost must be the result of it being in low volume prodction and the weight reduction with carbon fibre. Love this car! The black looks mind blowing!!!

this car has redefined the automotive engineering technology…and proved that you can get a superb results with a bit of extra thinking…just use your mind and you will be rewarded with great results…
i was disappointed with the power…since they didnt increase it….but waiting for the EVO or Nismo Tune(performance upgrade)…
good luck nissan…
this is the only car that proved ’till now’ (between all the japanese monsters: supra, eclipse, RX7….that its a true legend…waiting for the NSX and LF-A…although right now i think its really hard to catch up with the GTR V spec…this car is like a children that keeps growing up…am sure this is not the end. 😐
sohi
There is no end to this monstera gtr before when this model didnt arrived people were still using the old models why because its perform.There is no Competiter of the Gtr and nor any one can competite with it either bugatis or Lambos. But the problem with the new one is that when u driving this one too fast or using it for race purpose it break the gear thats the thing which i fear from it.
spyke
The only problem arrising from the Gearbox is due to the number of Launches made using the LC feature, other than that there have been no known problems from this gearbox. You can trash it just like any other.
