Next Generation of NISMO Performance Announcement Coming 2/26

Cmike2780 · 02-25-2013, 09:21 PM

I think it's great news and shows Nissan actually implementing the whole concept instead of an afterthought. They don't invest this much into a project for minor body work to existing models. Hopefully they follow the AMG and M divisions into producing cars worth mentioning. The Juke and Z, although bear the Nismo name, seem like a start, not an endgame. Don't forget, both aren't exactly new models. If they are designing the next gen Z, it's perfect timing for the new division to get its mojo working on premium high performance models.

Also, I thought they did bring out limited run track versions of the GTR...and when did the GTR become a car that wasn't track ready?

the current track edition offers some very subtle differences from the regular GTR. It has a 22 lbs (33lb difference from premium) weight savings with a special suspension special seats and brake cooling ducts.

Unfortunately, I think they are going to follow Chevrolet's now dead SS model, just throw a badge on anything with a couple of tiny trinkets and call it a day. There is a reason why Chevy abandoned that line.
