It looks like Nissan will be bringing a refreshed R35 GT-R to the 2016 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) next week. While it’s hard to tell what’s new, seeing that the teaser only shows the GT-R’s distinctive LED rear lights, chances are that this is a minor facelift of the iconic sportscar.
In the 2017 Nissan GT-R, it will likely see subtle visual changes outside. From previous spyshots, the GT-R was spotted with a restyled bumper, a more angular rear diffuser and a set of new Y-spoke alloy wheels.
Nissan programme manager Hiroshi Tamura, said some time ago, “I want to make the GT-R more premiere. Not just fancy, but real premium. Quality.” Updates will reportedly consist of a premium leather interior, a high-end sound system and Nissan’s latest infotainment system.
Meanwhile, the GT-R will likely see some enhancements done to its powertrain to boost existing output figures. To what extent remains to be seen. Currently, the 2016 Nissan GT-R possesses a 3.8 litre twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 550 hp and 630 Nm of torque.
