Our Favourite Skylines<\/p>\n

\"nissangtr_v_3_small1\"<\/figure>\n

We love the Skyline. You love the Skyline. Let\u2019s face it, everybody loves a Skyline. But the model had evolved hugely from its first conception at the end of the fifties to the current supreme example of passionate Japanese engineering and design. The GT-R Spec V is targeted specifically at enthusiast drivers who desire race car-level performance in a street-legal vehicle.<\/p>\n

Developed around the multi-dimensional Nissan GT-R sports car, which was introduced just more than one year ago to universal global acclaim, the new SpecV model builds on the original\u2019s \u201cultimate supercar that anyone can enjoy driving anywhere, at anytime\u201d philosophy \u2013 taking it to an entirely new level of \u201coneness between man and machine.\u201d The SpecV model includes unique body, interior and performance equipment and modifications, raising the GT-R\u2019s unmatched performance to even higher levels.<\/p>\n

The GT-R SpecV\u2019s new exterior features include a carbon fibre rear spoiler, a carbon fibre grille, and carbon fibre brake ducts. The SpecV is available exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal (RP) body colour. Inside, the SpecV\u2019s unique two-seat interior (non-SpecV GT-R models also include a two-place rear seat) offers special Recaro carbon fibre bucket seats, while carbon fibre insets embellish the rear centre storage box, instrument panel and other trim areas.<\/p>\n

Performance is enhanced with a new high gear boost control device, which momentarily increases boost of the engine\u2019s twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy. Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes that provide powerful stopping performance.<\/p>\n

The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminium wheels that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) since September 2008. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels, together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip tyres, combine to deliver the SpecV\u2019s exceptional performance.<\/p>\n
