Nissan GT-R - (Page 12) BRUTaLLy TESTEd. The Nissan GT-R’s performance credentials were earned at some of the most demanding tracks in the world: • ver 3100 miles of testing at Germany’s O legendary Nürburgring. • endai racetrack and Nissan’s test track S at Hokkaido, Japan. • aguna Seca, Willow Springs and L Infineon raceways in the U.S. To make sure it can withstand the rigours of daily driving, the Nissan GT-R was driven through demanding conditions around the world: • igh-speed testing on the Autobahn. H • now testing in the mountains of Hokkaido S – Japan’s northernmost province. • ot weather testing in Palm Springs and the H Arizona desert. • ough-road testing on the city streets R of Detroit. So that you can enjoy all the Nissan GT-R has to offer at delivery, each Nissan GT-R receives a thorough 9-lap break-in run at Tochigi test track, including: • esting of engine performance. T • esting of the brakes and bedding T in of the pads. • esting of the transmission. T • esting and break-in of suspension T components. LoViNGLy aSSEMBLEd. We go to the same extremes when building the GT-R as we do when testing it. • ach engine is hand-crafted by a E single technician. • ssembly is in a dust- and temperaA ture-controlled “clean room” – the type typically used for assembling Formula One racing engines. • nce assembled, the engine spends O an hour of bench-testing and breakin, including being run at redline for a brutal 10 minutes straight. We had to create new technologies to ensure the Nissan GT-R is built to the most demanding standards of any production car: • pecially designed precision-machining S tools were created to provide extremely tight tolerances. • nique vibration-testing machines were U built to ensure that those tight tolerances will remain throughout the life of the vehicle. The GT-R wouldn’t be a Nissan if we didn’t also make sure that whether it’s today or far in the future, the definition of a performance car is one with a conscience: • eets Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle M (ULEV) standards. • esigned to be 95% recyclable.
