Nissan released its much-anticipated GT-R sports car on Wednesday. The supercar has a 3.8-liter twin turbo V6 engine capable of up to 480 horsepower. It can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and has a maximum speed of about 193 mph.<\/p>\n
For the GT-R, Nissan incorporated a new type of transaxle four-wheel drive system in which it placed the dual-clutch transmission and transfer case at the back of the car instead of up front. The design has enabled a better weight distribution throughout the car that will result in a better ride, according to Nissan.<\/p>\n
The Nissan GT-R also has three different modes for its dual clutch six-speed transmission: normal, snow and \u201cR,\u201d a racing mode that allows the driver to shift quickly at high speeds. Priced at about 7.8 million yen ($68,000), the car is expected to be available in December 2007 in Japan and June 2009 in the U.S.<\/p>\n
