How many cylinders does the GTR have?
3 Answers
GTR's engine is a 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbocharged, with six cylinders and two turbochargers. It is the VR38DETT engine specifically produced by Nissan for this new GTR. Here is some information about this engine: 1. The V6 engine is a compact engine configuration, shorter than an inline-four-cylinder engine and more compact than a V8 in most designs. 2. V6 engines are widely used in front-wheel-drive layout cars. As modern cars have reduced space for engines while requiring more horsepower, the more compact V6 engine has become increasingly common.
I'm a car enthusiast and know the GT-R inside out. It's powered by the VR38DETT V6 engine, which means a 6-cylinder configuration. This engine has a 3.8-liter displacement paired with twin turbos, delivering 550 horsepower with strong acceleration that pushes you back into the seat. Historically, the GT-R series from the R32 to the current R35 has always used 6-cylinder engines. Nissan focused on balance during design, achieving more reasonable weight distribution than V8 sports cars, making it more stable when cornering. In daily driving, city fuel consumption is about 10-12 liters per 100 km, dropping to 8-9 liters on highways, which is fairly economical. For maintenance, I find oil changes during service simple, parts are easy to find, and there are none of the complex issues associated with V12 engines. Even after prolonged use, it doesn't overheat or malfunction easily. In short, the 6-cylinder is the soul of the GT-R, balancing both performance and durability.
I've been driving the GT-R for several years, and it's equipped with a 6-cylinder engine. It's comfortable to drive, and I have no complaints about using it for daily commuting in the city. The power is sufficient for overtaking. The fuel consumption is lower than expected, with highway cruising able to maintain around 9 liters per 100 kilometers, which is more economical than a V8. The engine is reliable; my car has run 100,000 kilometers without major repairs, and routine maintenance every 5,000 kilometers can be handled at local shops. The engine sounds impressive when parked but isn't noisy, and the rear seats are adequate for family outings. Parts are reasonably priced, and there are plenty of used car options available. I've driven it in the rain, and the 6-cylinder output remains stable without slipping, ensuring reliable handling for safety. Compared to European sports cars, this engine has a longer lifespan and requires less maintenance hassle.
