Nissan GT-R Updated in Europe

    5 Ratings

    LONDON — The Nissan GT-R is getting a series of updates for Europe for 2010, the most significant of which are suspension upgrades designed to enhance ride and handling.

    Suspension tweaks include changes to the front spring and shock rates to improve ride comfort and stiffer rear radius-rod bushings to improve responsiveness.

    Nissan also added a pair of NACA ducts to the carbon fiber under-floor diffuser, to provide more cooling to the exhaust and gearbox, and made changes to the transmission and driveline logic, brakes and emission controls.

    The 2010 GT-R gets upgraded audio and navigation systems as well as other modest tweaks in the cabin.

    Inside Line says: The changes are mostly under the skin — yet one more scrap of evidence that Nissan, along with its fellow Japanese brands, remains a master of kaizen, or continuous improvement. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

    Still ugly.  I'm sure Lienert will love it.  He has been bought and paid for by Japan Inc. for many years now.  That's why he lost his last job, BIASNESS.
