2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo

As the Nissan R35 GT-R gets ever closer to the end of it’s life, Nissan continue to push out incremental updates year on year. The 2020 GT-R Nismo has been produced with a focus on chassis hardware and calibration, with the aim of improving on-road driving behaviour and on-track longevity.

Addressing the complaints that the GT-R Nismo was too stiff and uncomfortable, Nissan have softened the ride slightly for the 2020 model. They say this has improved on-road composure and feel whilst the recalibrated steering has improved linearity and precision. The dual-clutch transmission has also been tweaked with software changes and a revised ‘R’ mode.

New carbon-ceramic brake discs have been fitted measuring 410 mm on the front and 390 mm at the rear. These help dissipate heat more effectively and reduce unsprung weight on each corner. They are painted a bright yellow, and sit behind a set of 20-inch Rays forged alloy wheels which have been wrapped with bespoke Dunlop tyres.
