Building on racing technology, the Nissan GT-R continues to move ahead
The Nissan GT-R: based on racing technology. Since its introduction at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, it has continued to earn the description ‘Super’ around the world. Winning the 2008 Super GT in Japan with a one-two finish with the NISMO works team and taking the challenge of the Tokachi 24H race for production based vehicles has enforced NISMO’s impact with the Nissan GT-R through motorsport activities. Through these activities NISMO provides feedback for future programs or projects. NISMO’s strong partnership with Nissan has given birth to the NISMO Club Sports Package. Nissan and NISMO; the fusion of two racing technologies has opened the door to a new world for the Nissan GT-R.
Proudly reflecting the NISMO name
"The world class performance boasted by the Nissan GT-R is, in part, the result of the introduction of the many racing technologies developed by NISMO in its many years of activity. The development of the NISMO Club Sports Package involved putting the car through the rigors of circuit testing countless times. This was refined in motor racing such as participation in the 2008 Tokachi 24 hour race. Now, as a racing constructor, NISMO is proud to provide our customers with the finest upgrade parts for the Nissan GT-R."

A word on the Nissan GT-R Series
 "Our idea was to bring the car to a higher racing grade, and it was NISMO’s involvement that resulted in this great achievement. The NISMO Club Sports Package is one example of the constant development of the Nissan GT-R series. The menu includes a Spec V standards development collaboration as a well as standard specifications resulting in specs between the two. This reflects the awareness of special characteristics of both highway driving and circuit sports. With this new NISMO line up our promise is that the Nissan GT-R is the breakthrough into a new world of sports driving."
