Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 to go on sale

Nissan Motorsport International Co., Ltd. (NIS- MO) is releasing its 2018 model of the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, which is based on the Nissan GT-R (R35) NISMO and conforms to FIA GT3 regulations. These race cars are built-to-order and delivery is said to begin from around January 2019.

NISMO launched the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 in 2012 and has been supplying it to customers around the world including in Japan, Europe, America, China and Australia. The 2018 model that is set for release reflects significant advances made on the base vehicle Nissan GT-R (R35) NISMO based on lessons learned from accumulated race data since the 2015 model was released.

NISMO aimed to create a vehicle that took advantage of all the GT-R’s strengths and was capable of running with stability and speed at any circuit and on any brand of tyre.

Weight distribution has been optimised and the centre of gravity lowered by mounting the engine 150mm further back and lower than in the 2015 model. At the same time, the front and rear suspension, along with the cross member have been newly designed to improve the vehicle dynamics along with a dry sump, improved brakes, and an exclusive race-prepared air conditioning system. In addition to vigorous tests carried out overseas since April of last year, participation in several series, in cooperation with NISMO’s official partner teams, has seen the car run a total of approximately 30 000km. This new vehicle has enhanced competitiveness through improvements in its fundamental performance, and the new model is also easy to handle for both professional and pay drivers and offers significant reliability.

The price of the vehicle is approximately R6 900 000 which excludes tax and shipping. Optional/spare parts will be necessary depending on what category you intend to participate in.
