Nissan Skyline GT-R Black Edition

The reputation precedes him, it collects the Skyline sporting heritage, but another big part of their success is to "blame" for his appearance on a popular video game. This has made more than one we could "prove" their virtues to exhaustion even in Nürburgring, albeit virtually, which, in terms of feelings, has little to do with the driving experience in reality. Under a relatively discreet skin and nothing exorbitant price hides one of the most effective sports market, perhaps the most, and with the 2012 it looks like it will remain so.


Thanks to increased power and a "launch control" revised, beat his previous mark of acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in no less than 19/10 and therefore also its declared rival, the 911 Turbo. German 3.2 seconds, compared to 3.17 of the GT-R, always according to our measurements, since in our protagonist technical officer approves 2.8 seconds, but using 100-octane gasoline. For now, at least until you get our hands on the upcoming 911 Turbo, the Japanese model is the "king" of the sports that have gone through the Technical Center Highway.

The hardness of the suspension, even in comfort mode-normal positions also has "R" - or the little acoustic filtering provided by the front wheel arches that give off particles tires are clear signs that this is a car very seriously. The climate, the good visibility all angles and the excellent performance of the dual-clutch box provide the necessary comfort to move through traffic, but the first sprint is found that, outside the channels or video game, the GT-R feel disoriented by his savage thrust and performance, but also for its little content size. The new mode "save" the change, remaining torque maintains long marches, and even occasionally inserted impasse lift your right foot at low speed, can be used to avoid temptations and maintain safer card points at the same while lowering consumption significantly compared to the previous edition model. The GT-R 2012 maintains its predecessor a modality that hold the key after pressing "save" temporarily disengaged wheel drive below 10 km / h when turning the steering wheel a lot, which, along with the rear camera, reduces stress slightly parking maneuvers as it mitigates the remarkable mechanical friction in that circumstance.


550 hp runaway
Change, suspension and stability control has a corresponding mode "R" to unleash the 550 hp engine. Offset is shown as more GT-R, as this shows your true personality: the shocks are no longer active and acquire the maximum strength all the time, the throttle response is stronger, the change allows the engine reach higher engine speed, the distribution of traction even greater agility achieved by sending more power behind electronic aids become very permissive ... In this mode, the ESP allows the car to do their mischief-and we say this because it does almost everything alone, although it seems that "we pilot" us-looking for the overall efficiency, but let us through fear. How soon can impress reaccelerate in the turn and the ability to shoot out even before completing the turn, because the rear axle is very directional when needed and more to slide almost teleports to the right place immediately to note the car as soon as possible to the exit of the curve. The same happens when you brake in support, place and forces "play" with the steering wheel before devouring the curve. Although it requires getting used to learn your quick reactions, everything is relatively easy, as their natural approaches that of a rear wheel drive under certain circumstances, but with an exceptional motor to assimilate much power out of corners. While hints at where their limits, and allows touching them without much effort, then check first with a slight understeer that if we want more excitement, we can turn in oversteer gas lifting and closing a little direction, or simply based accelerator, very dosable and without undue complications. The difficulty level is up to you, as the GT-R responds flawlessly and without showing weaknesses whatever the speed, so there comes a time that a circuit is necessary.
