2012 Nissan GT-R 3.8 liter VQ38DETT V6 Engine
Friday, May 4th, 2012 by adrx # Nissan2012 Nissan GT-R 3.8 liter VQ38DETT V6 Engine really comes in full force and has undergone many improvements in all sides. Under 20 blitz increase psi full of new launch control (aka R Mode Functions Ranging) is involved, all twin-turbocharged 530 horses and 448 pounds-feet of catapults thrust moves all-wheel drive 2012 Nissan GT-R to 60 mph in a second, 9 blistering seconds. The car which in 2007 changed a number of reference points are changing their performance once again.
For those unfamiliar with speed, the new GT-R achieves a kind of quickness expected from the automotive world’s uppermost crust those with six-figure price tags attached or with ultra-limited production numbers. These include the $130,000-plus Porsche Turbo PDK (0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds) and multi-million dollar Bugatti Veyron (2.7 seconds). A Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce would be demolished in a straight line battle (3.2 seconds), as would a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (3.2 seconds), Corvette ZR1 (3.3 seconds), and Lexus LFA (3.8 seconds, without launch control).
The GT-R’s 0-60 mph time is also more than a half-second faster than the model it replaces, which was no slouch to begin with (3.5 seconds). That gap lessens when compared to the first US-spec 2009 edition that had a harsh launch control system which held revs at a relatively high 4500 rpm and required traction control be turned off. Nowadays, the process is much simpler and easier on the entire drivetrain (launching occurs at 4000 rpm and utilizes softer, yet quicker gear actuations). After four consecutive launches, for example, the car’s ECU restricts further acceleration runs to minimize wear and tear. Only after 1.5 miles are driven can the whole R Mode Start Function be repeated.
Performance Comparison
Rapid fire a few more 0.15-second dual-clutch up-shifts (0.3 seconds in “normal” mode) and the coupe’s quad pipes scream a throaty sayonara to 1320-feet of pavement in 11.2 seconds at 122.7 mph (the 2011 model accomplished the task in 11.8 seconds at 119.8 mph). Only the Porsche Turbo and Bugatti Veyron best Japan’s fastest car.
With the 2012′s 3.8-liter VQ38DETT V-6 producing 45 more horses and 14 additional pound-feet at meatier low- to mid- range rpms, and its weight cut by 41 pounds (to 3898 pounds), phenomenal sprinting speed is but only one facet of this Nissan’s true character. The GT-R hustles through our figure-eight course in 23.3 seconds at an average 0.89 g, significantly quicker and stickier than yesteryear’s stats (23.7 seconds at an average 0.85 g). Differences in braking distances from 60 mph are a wash: the new GT-R equipped with slimmer and bigger front 15.4-inch six-piston Brembos comes to a halt in 101-feet rather than the 2011′s 99-feet.
