The Nissan GT-R SpecV is available this starting February 8 with a price tag of $170,000. Its peal output will remain the same at 478hp but there’s a switch on the right of the steering wheel (shared with the cruise control) activates an electronic circuit to boost mid-range torque by 15 lb-ft (up to 449 lb-ft). There will be a green icon lights up on the dash when the overboost function is activated. This function is giving the driver 80 seconds to perform any overtaking maneuvers and then will default back to standard setting. Nissan has also replaced a several parts to lightweight carbon fiber which includes, interior trim including the seat-back adjuster, grille and brake ducts, along with the trick dry carbon fiber rear wing (coated in clear matte paint) that increases downforce.
