The prestigious Austria-based tuning company Koenigseder has released a new kit for the Nissan GTR. Back in 2007, Nissan launched the highly anticipated Godzilla GT-R with a twin-turbo engine producing 480 horsepower. Since then, tuners have raised the standards and half of them have nearly doubled the performance figures. The Nissan GTR has received all the hype it deserves so far, and Koenigseder decided to add their touch to what can be considered the sports car of the decade in terms of price and performance. First, the tuning firm painted the exterior in their favorite bright orange color, which is common to see with the other projects they take on. Next was the all new Nissan GTR aerodynamic kit with a moderate design.
The Koenigseder package for the GT-R consists of a new front bumper with additional air intakes, side skirts with similar intakes, and a diffuser for the rear bumper. Additional modifications to the exterior include aftermarket 21-inch rims in a two-tone black and orange color finish. Regarding the technical improvements, Koenigseder hooked up the Nissan GTR with a new air filter, Akrapovic titanium exhaust system, and a remapping of the ECU.
These customizations give the Godzilla Nissan an additional 100 hp to boost its final number to 580 hp. At the track it is able to reach 200 km/h (124 mph) in just 9.8 seconds, however to handle this amount of power a new suspension upgrade was necessary. The Nissan GTR was fitted with a KW suspension kit from Koenigseder, and a last minute tweak to the car includes the aftermarket wheels wrapped in high performance Yokohama Advan Sport tires.
The all new Abflug Nissan GT-R has received its latest aerodynamic package from the Japanese car tuning company Abflug. There are several performance and exterior styling kits already available for the Nissan GT-R. Abflug used their taste to create something unique that includes a new front lip spoiler, side skirts, carbon fiber rear wing and bumper, with an attached diffuser. This definitely will not be the last of the modifications that are released for the Nissan GT-R, as it is expected to be a top selling sports car because of the price and performance it has to offer.
The new Nissan GT-R is able to produce 480 hp and 434 ft-lbs of torque. So the first major upgrade SPI decided to go with were brand new Garrett GT ball-bearing turbochargers with custom compressor wheels to increase the boost. The additions of larger turbos and more boost brings the need for cooler air, so a large Monster intercooler was fitted with custom piping. To keep everything running stable, Switzer remapped the ECU and they claim that with all this extra power there isn’t extra stress on the drivetrain. The Nissan GT-R dynoed at over 700 hp at the crank, and to the wheels an impressive 626 hp and 583 ft-lbs of torque.
