Nissan (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/) is adding yet another tier to the GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/gtr/) hierarchy for 2014 with the GT-R Track Edition. Debuting at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/chicago auto show/), the bruiser ditches its back seat in the quest for a lower curb weight, and a set of more seriously bolstered front buckets keep occupants planted once the going gets twisty. The Nürburgring-developed Track Edition offers an integrated carbon fiber front splitter with brake cooling ducts as well as an even harder-core suspension. Engineers swapped the stock bits for special Bilstein (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bilstein/) DampTronic shocks and paired them with more aggressive springs.
The engine still delivers 545 horsepower and 463 pound-feet of torque and still relies on the split-second quickness of the standard GT-R's six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Expect to see just 150 examples of the 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition land on American shores starting this May. In the interim, check out the full press release below (http://www.motorgen.com/2013/02/07/2014-nissan-gt-r-track-edition-chicago-2013/#continued) for more information.Continue reading 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition loses rear seats, gains performance (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/07/2014-nissan-gt-r-track-edition-chicago-2013/)
