Only thing i like about the GT-R is the rear lights and the engineering that has gone into making such a traction monster, but imo. it just looks like a cheap Chinese knockoff shoe, so why bother polishing a turd. Nissan just make a now car already - or maybe you have forgotten how to do that...

I'm not gonna lie, your OP was lazy with no information on it but just two 2 videos, and you also got the name of the car and the year wrong. It is supposed to be "Nissan GT-R Premium '16". The year a car is out is the year it is out. The "model year" that the American market applies to it is goofy.

Hiroshi Tamura, Nissan’ s Chief Product Specialist for the GT-R, Z-Car, and NISMO, said, “The new GT-R delivers a heart-pounding driving experience at all times, on any road, for whoever sits in the driver’s seat. We have continued to push its performance boundaries to the limit – it’s even more potent than before. At the same time, refinement has been added to take the driving experience to an entirely new level. We’re proud to bring you what we feel is the ultimate GT-R that possesses amazing performance, newfound civility, and a rich racing history.”

That’s right, unlike most refreshed vehicles, Nissan actually managed to squeeze a little more juice out of the GT-R’s 3.8-liter V-6, and that in itself is worth talking about. So, with that said, let’s dive on into the 2017 GT-R and go over all these new developments that promise to make Nissan’s resident and most desired sports car that much more awesome than before.

Exterior

Right away we see a pretty big departure from last year’s model. The V-motion grille has been enlarged a bit to provide better airflow and engine cooling. Along with the larger size, you’ll notice that the large horizontal splitter in the middle is now finished in matte chrome. On the previous model, the vertical louvers below the splitter were angled, but on the 2017 model, those vertical louvers now sit straight up and down. The black mesh that backs the grille also has an updated pattern. In addition to the updated grille, the LED fog lights have been moved farther to the corners of the fascia and integrated into corner vents. A new front spoiler has been added to increase downforce, while at the same time adding a sportier look to the front end. The vents on the hood appear to be the same, but the bumps in the hood that accent them are more prevalent for this year.

Moving to the sides, there isn’t a whole lot that changed. The profile of the body is pretty much the same, but the side skirts have been extended to help direct airflow around the vehicle. Despite that effect, it gives the car a little more flare on the sides compared to last year’s rather flat side skirt design. A new, vertically oriented vent has also been applied to each rear quarter, in line with the crease that separates the rear quarter from the rear fascia.

Around back, the same decklid and spoiler remain, but the fascia itself has been redesigned. Instead of having square-like impressions above the exhaust outlets, there are now horizontally slanted body lines that point towards the rear diffuser. That rear diffuser is the same as last year’s model. The exhaust tips look to be slanted outward a bit in comparison, and there are new, fully functional vents on the outside edges of the fascia. All told, the 2017 Nissan Nissan GT-R has a stance and design that makes it appear wider and is certainly more aggressive than last year’s model.

SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON



Interior

Looking inside the GT-R, we see a newly designed dashboard. Fine, hand-selected Nappa leather is wrapped around the dash and instrument cluster and was stitched with Takumu-style precision. Under the leather of the dashboard is a thinner material that helps reduce the vehicle’s weight. Additional weight savings can be attributed to the lighter seats. As far as the center console goes, a new 8-inch capacitive touch-panel monitor replaces the old 7-inch unit. As you can see, the new 8-inch display really refines the interior, as there are only 11 buttons on that center console – down from 27 in last year’s model. There is a Display Command control on the center console that allows for easy operation of the display screen.

In addition to the new infotainment screen and dashboard, new shift paddles have also been installed to the back of the three-spoke steering wheel. According to Nissan, these new paddles offer an “improved feel and sound when engaged or adjusted.” Nissan hasn’t disclosed specifics, but in some markets, the GT-R will come with NissanConnect SM with Navigation, Mobile Apps, and Services. This will allow smartphone connectivity with the ability to lock and unlock the car, activate or deactivate the alarm, call emergency services, or track the car in the event that someone manages to jack move it from your driveway. The interior of the Premium trim level can be optioned in three different colors. There is Amber Red, Ivory, and a newly added Rakuda Tan that you see contrasted by black in the images here.

As you can see, the vents on the dash are still round, but they take on a five-spoke appearance, and without a large control panel of buttons in the center stack, room has been made for two rectangular vents. The instrument cluster features a more aggressive design, and the door trim panels have been smoothed. As far as the interior goes, the new changes should be a welcomed advancement in the car’s evolution, and it certainly looks more upscale compared to previous years.

Drivetrain

As with previous models, the 3.8-liter, 24-valve, twin-turbo V-6 is the heart of the car. It’s still handcrafted by a specific technician, but output has been increased by 20 horsepower and four pound-feet to a total output of 565 horsepower and 467 pound-feet of torque. To obtain the increase in power, boost from the turbochargers has been increased, and the ignition timing for each cylinder is now individually controlled, creating more precise overall ignition timing. Power is routed to the wheels through a refined six-speed, dual-clutch transmission that is said to shift smoother and create less noise than last year’s model.

In addition to the engine and transmission updates, the exhaust system has been replaced by a new, lightweight titanium system that features Active Sound Enhancement. This means the sound produced by the exhaust is even better than before, and as you can imagine, it sounds best during hard acceleration. The increase in boost pressure combined with the new exhaust system and the cylinder-specific ignition timing helps the GT-R accelerate even harder than before from 3,200 rpm and above.

With the more rigid body structure, the GT-R also boasts a new suspension system, as well as new 20-inch, 15-spoke forged aluminum wheels. The new wheels, suspension, and rigid body structure means the GT-R can now hold the road surface a little better than before, and it has better stability when performing extreme maneuvers or negotiating your favorite corners at high speed. Nissan didn’t elaborate on performance numbers, but with the 2016 model hitting the 0-to-60 mph sprint in 3 seconds, expect the 2017 GT-R to hit the benchmark in 2.9 seconds. Top speed will likely remain the same at 196 mph.

Sorry Miao you do not get to tell people what they can and can't post freedom of speech freedom to post

Maybe a thank you for suggestion would be better response

I didn't tell them what they can or cannot post.

This, I know about. Perhaps you should reread it, in no instance I told them what they can or cannot post, I asked them to don't do car threads and leave them to me.

@Miao
Stop arguing with the moderators and stop telling others what to post, I'm all for free speech on this forum but telling others to " Please refrain yourself from makin' car threads like this one, leave them to me" sounds like an order to me even if it does contain the word please.

Love how it resembles more the original GT-R R35 concept now.
