Aerodynamic alchemy
GT-R AERODYNAMICS
Relentless tuning of the GT-R’s aerodynamics creates an incredibly clean drag coefficient of just 0.26 Cd. While you see a substantial, powerful supercar, to the wind, it punches through the air like a low-slung, mid-engine design. Pure aerodynamic alchemy.
Coefficient of drag (Cd) Careful attention to the shape of the front fascia, C-pillar, and extensions at the lower portion of the rear bumper allows the GT-R to cut through the air efficiently.
Downforce Downforce adds grip and enhances the feeling of control. By reinforcing the hood and fine-tuning the design of the front spoiler and side sill extensions, air is prevented from being drawn under the vehicle, helping the GT-R consistently apply downforce.
Cooling Cool air is key for performance, especially for the engine, and for providing a dense intake charge to feed hungry turbochargers.
