How many cylinders does the Nissan GTR have?
2 Answers
Nissan GTR has 6 cylinders. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Taking the 2017 Nissan GTR as an example, it is a hardtop sports car with a body size of: length 4715mm, width 1895mm, height 1371mm, wheelbase 2780mm, luggage compartment volume 315L, and curb weight 1785kg. The 2017 Nissan GTR is equipped with a 3.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 408kW and a maximum torque of 632Nm, matched with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Nissan GT-R is equipped with a 6-cylinder engine, specifically in a V6 configuration, which has always caught my attention. Its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged engine is ingeniously designed, with the six cylinders arranged in a V-shape, capable of delivering immense power, around 550 horsepower, and offering blistering acceleration. This setup is quite common in sports cars as it strikes a balance between performance and efficiency, unlike some high-displacement 8-cylinder cars that guzzle more fuel. Having driven it a few times, I found the engine runs smoothly, with a strong push from the turbo when it kicks in, yet it remains relatively quiet for daily driving. If you're interested in automotive details, you might want to look into its history—starting from the R35, it has consistently used a V6, enhancing both reliability and responsiveness. In short, the 6-cylinder engine is the soul of the GT-R, making it a true street dominator.
