2019 GT-R TRACK EDITION

Following on from our critical success with the 2018 Nissan GT-R Track Edition we are delighted to be able to offer the same performance improvements on the new 2019 Model Year.

We believe the Track Edition is the sweet spot in the GT-R range, but with only 4 cars being sold last year in the UK it perhaps hasn't received the attention it deserves. Our version of the Track Edition takes the basic formula up a few notches with more power and improved handling.

The Litchfield Track Edition benefits from our years of experience in producing bespoke versions of incredible machines. Growing on the the success of our previous special editions like the Impreza Type 25 and GT-R LM20, we believe the Litchfield Track Edition will be another classic delivering a hugely rewarding driving experience.

The Perfect Canvas

---

Nissan market their Track Edition as “Engineered by NISMO for better on-track performance” and therefore makes the ideal starting point for our new higher performance variant. The standard Nissan Track Edition features the chassis enhancements of the full Nismo model including:

• Wider front track
• Wider front wings
• Seam welded and reinforced chassis
• Larger hubs and wheel studs
• Nismo front suspension arms
• Nismo/Bilstein damptronic suspension
• Hollow upgraded anti roll bars
• Lightweight and wider Nismo forged alloy wheels (-2.5kg each)
• Dunlop N1 Tyres
• Track Edition interior build plaque
• Optional lightweight carbon rear spoiler
• Optional carbon rear boot lid
• Optional carbon backed Recaro seats
• Optional carbon roof
• Optional ceramic brakes

Controlled Power

---

Producing a car with this engine power requires careful control at its heart so that maximum performance can be extracted in any conditions. The dynamics and power delivery of the Track Edition can be tailored in an instance.

The unique Litchfield stability control strategy along with our advanced traction control system combines to produce staggering cross country and track dynamics. Strategies that along with fuel octane and power levels that can be changed on the fly from either the steering wheel or smart phone.

The Litchfield Track Edition features a further 10 mm wider track over the base car which helps both the handling performance but also allows the 20” Nismo wheels to better fill the wheel arches.

The suspension is replaced with our own Bilstein Damptronic dampers, which work with the existing interior switch so the driver can choose between Comfort, Normal and Race modes. This is the second generation dampers we produced for the LM20 and they feature Bilstein’s latest internals built to our own specifications. These V2 dampers allow us to keep the higher level of ride quality in comfort mode but increase the rate in Race mode for better track performance. The springs are customer made by Eibach and feature stiffer front and rear springs. These have a progressive design and when combined with our stiffer (and still hollow) anti roll bars they give the Track Edition much better body control. The ride height is adjustable and the default setup is 10 mm lower than the standard GT-R bringing further dynamic improvements.

Along with the spring and damper changes is the inclusion to our handling kit that subtly changes the wheel base and front suspension geometry. This results in drastically improved steering feel and return to centre weighting which helps driver confidence. The change in geometry gives a more fluid turning arc and a better tyre contract patch through the bend which generates more front grip as well as straight line stability and traction.
