2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition Review, Specs, Photo. - Meanwhile some rumors told that 2014 Nissan GT-R release date will be in late this year. The new Nissan GT-R Track Edition will go on sale in May 2013. It will be limited to only 150 units. The Track Edition comes in at $115,710, which does not include the $1,000 destination and handling charge. We promise that we will update soon after Nissan announces 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition price.

The new Nissan GT-R Track Edition, which made its U.S. debut at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, is the third and most exclusive model in the 2014 GT-R lineup. Designed to take Nissan's legendary 545-horsepower street supercar even closer to a pure motorsports competition machine, it features a specially tuned suspension, special brake cooling guides, front spoiler with carbon fiber air ducts and a lightweight quilted cloth mat where the rear seats usually reside. It is set to go on sale at select GT-R certified Nissan dealerships nationwide beginning in May 2013. Production will be limited to 150 cars for the U.S. market.

Said Pierre Loing, Vice President, Product and Advanced Planning and Strategy, Nissan Americas: "The concept behind the GT-R Track Edition is to enable drivers who enjoy even more demanding high-performance driving than the GT-R Premium and Black Edition models' extreme performance, the chance to come closer to a competition spec vehicle - no back seat, stiffer suspension, higher grip seats, additional brake cooling - the works."

Nissan continues to refine and improve its GT-R monster, most recently introducing suspension and engine tweaks with no increases in total output—for 2014, and now it is giving Americans a taste of a special Track Edition that’s previously been offered elsewhere around the globe. Even though the name slightly differs from the Track Pack cars sold overseas, the 2014 GT-R Track Edition is conceptually the same and includes a host of upgrades geared toward owners intent on taking their GT-R to the track.

Powertrain
Motivation is provided by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine that develops 545 hp (406 kW) and 463 lb-ft (627 Nm) of torque. It is connected to a six-speed dual clutch transmission that changes gears in just 0.15 seconds.

As with the rest of the 2014 GT-R lineup, the Track Edition’s twin-turbocharged V-6 engine makes the same 545 horsepower as last year’s GT-R. While we’ve enjoyed watching (and experiencing) the GT-R’s output figures rise incrementally over the years, 545 ponies strapped to the GT-R’s all-wheel-drive gear and six-speed dual-clutch automatic hardly is a recipe for sloth. Mix in a sharper chassis tune and even the relatively negligible weight reduction that the deletion of the rear seat affords, and we’re betting this GT-R is going to be one helluva ride.

Performance-wise, the Track Edition inherits a new front spoiler with built-in carbon-fiber air ducts and brake-cooling channels, and the suspension is further honed for the track. Higher spring rates and special Bilstein shocks are fitted to all four corners, which also get the same metallic-black-painted Rays forged-aluminum wheels as the GT-R Black Edition. A sweet-looking carbon-fiber rear spoiler (also shared with the Black Edition) hangs off the rear deck, and Nissan claims the piece’s increased stiffness improves rear downforce. Sure.

Interior
In the interior, the new Nissan GT-R Track Edition includes special blue-trimmed high-grip front seats that use a special leather and fabric appointments. And, like all 2014 GT-Rs, the Track Edition’s interior offers a cockpit-style instrument panel with a large center-mounted tachometer, a large metallic-framed center console with ergonomically designed shift lever, a red “engine start” button and carbon fiber interior trim.

The centerpiece of the instrument panel is a video game-inspired multi-function display with 11 pages of available information, including mechanical and driving information, acceleration, brake pedal pressure, steering angle and a recording function with playback. Additional on-screen information includes a Navigation system and Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System. The navigation system includes NavTraffic Real-Time Traffic Information and NavWeather capabilities (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately).

Exterior
Available in five colors Deep Blue Pearl, Jet Black, Solid Red, Gun Metallic and Pearl White the new GT-R Track Edition rides on metallic-black six-spoke RAYS forged lightweight alloy wheels wrapped in nitrogen-filled Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTT ultra-high-performance run-flat tires and features a handmade, lightweight dry carbon fiber rear spoiler. These high-performance elements are also available on the GT-R Black Edition.

Finishing off the Nissan GT-R Track Edition's special features are a handmade, lightweight dry carbon fiber rear spoiler and special metallic black six-spoke RAYS® forged lightweight wheels mounted with Dunlop® SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTT ultra high performance run-flat nitrogen-filled tires. (Both the wheels and spoiler are also offered on the Black Edition.) The rear spoiler's lightweight GT-R specific dry carbon fiber material is also incredibly strong, contributing to increased aerodynamic downforce.
