Nissan JP have confirmed the existence of a Spec-V GT-R, a lighter and more powerful version of the already extreme Japanese supercar, and latest speculation suggests the car could make an appearance at the 12th annual Nismo Festival being held at Fuji Speedway, Japan, at the end of this month.
Spec-V GT-R will be priced at ¥15,000,000 (approximately $153,000 / £100,000 at current exchange rates) in Japan and go on sale in February next year
Nissan recently, through its official in-house tuner Nismo, revealed a new upgrade package for the GT-R, which included a titanium exhaust system, six-spoke Rays alloy wheels and revised underbody panels. Recent GT-R prototypes spotted at the Nurburgring featured the same Nismo upgrades.
Spec-V attributes will be a lighter kerb weight brought about by the use of carbon-fiber for some of the body panels and internal structure. Extra power, an estimated 100hp (75kW) more than the standard GT-R, will be courtesy of increased boost pressure and fine-tuning of the ECU and exhaust system.
