Among Nissan GT-R enthusiasts, 2017 is turning out to be a milestone year. The model year started with a major makeover for both the GT-R Premium and GT-R Nismo - and caps off with the North American debut of the limited production GT-R Track Edition at the New York International Auto Show.
As the third model in the GT-R lineup, the Track Edition occupies a unique position between the "T" (touring) and "R" (racing) sides of the GT-R equation. Designed to deliver a higher level of performance than the GT-R Premium, the Track Edition features elements of the flagship GT-R Nismo, though retaining the GT-R Premium’s 565 hp engine rating. The GT-R Track Edition has a starting MSRP of $127,990 and will be available late summer 2017.
The new GT-R Track Edition’s performance-oriented features start with the body’s additional adhesive bonding (in addition to spot welding), which helps increase body shell rigidity versus the GT-R Premium. Next, the advanced 4-wheel independent suspension receives unique Nismo tuning, with reduced weight and additional roll stiffness (versus the GT-R Premium), as well as Nismo-spec tires.
Other standard equipment includes GT-R Nismo front fenders, 20-inch Nismo forged aluminum-alloy wheels and a special dry carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Inside, the Track Edition interior includes a unique red and black color treatment with high-grip, motorsports-inspired Recaro seats.
