The 2011 Nissan GT-R facelifted model has been seen in a state of undress at the Nurburgring. The pictures show the production ready mule with almost fully revealed, letting the details about the new detailing at the front and back more obvious.
The bumper at the front of the car has got some additional wind spoiling ripples, and the front grill has been reworked on the car.
At the back, vents have been added in the rear bumper fascia behind the rear wheelsto aid the cooling of the tailpipes which sit close to the bumper.
The facelifted version of both GTR will be released in the first part of 2011 and probably be seen at the Frankfurt IAA later this year.
Here are some spy pics of two Nissan GT-R production mules doing some testing on the Nurburgring circuit in Germany.
The prototypes appears to be a Spec V specified GT-R while the other is the vanilla model. Both cars are very similar including the reshaped upper grille.
With the camo covering the bumpers and the air intakes gives the GT-R a more aggressive look we also expect that some suspension and some slight modification of the powertrain.
The new GT-R is expected to debut later in the year at the Paris Motorshow.
Nissan Motorsports International Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Minami-Ooi, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Yuichi Sanada; henceforth “NISMO”) announced that NISMO just signed the official partnership agreements for the FIA GT1 World Championship with Sumo Power GT (UK) and Swiss Racing Team (CH).
Both teams will run two NISSAN GT-Rs respectively in the World Championship. NISMO will provide technical support to its new racing partners.
Other details including driver line-up will be announced at the later date.
Today at the Nurburgring, this GT-R Spec-M with lightly camouflaged front and rear bumpers showing the higher vent detailing under the camouflage and seems not to have the headlight washing sprays.
Where the limited-edition SpecV focuses on reducing the weight and Sharpening up of the handling, the SpecM is expected to offer a more refined interior with higher quality leather seats and other premium options unavailable on other models, and the bass speakers wont be as obvious.
Power is probably unaltered, staying with the regular GT-R’s 360kW and 590Nm of torque. It’s very likely, that the suspension will be adjusted to provide a softer comfortable ride
If the V-SpecM is on the way, expect Nissan To unvail the model at next months Tokyo Motor show
