The first Nissan GT-R Nismo prototype is expected to be unveiled at 2013 Tokyo Motor Show and is known to have been developed with substantial input from Nissan’s Nismo race team, which competes in the Japanese Super GT race series.
Nissan’s executive vice president Andy Palmer confirmed the GT-R Nismo will get a power boost over the standard 542bhp and that he had driven the prototype in Japan, but declined to reveal technical details beyond saying it will be “the fastest GT-R ever”. By virtue of his statements, the majority of the exterior changes are aero and downforce related which improve the performance of the car so that it will be the ultimate GT-R to come out of the factory including an extra kick.
