| Nissan GT R Interior | |
| Nissan GT-R's interior is stylish, but it's main purpose is functionality. Nissan GT-R's instruments are oriented towards the driver with the center piece being the tachometer with red-lined high up at 7000 rpm. Within the tachometer there is an easy-to-see gearshift position display.
From Nissan's Press Release: Like the exterior, the Nissan GT-R's interior is stylish but highly functional. The cabin is unique, sharing no major components or design features with any other Nissan model. The Nissan GT-R is a bespoke supercar, new from the ground up. |
|
| Instruments are large, clear and simple, all directly in front of the driver for maximum legibility. The circular analog instruments are ringed in chunky bezels and there is a tachometer in pride of place, red-lined at 7000rpm. Within the tachometer is an easy-to-see gearshift position display.
More unusual is a multi-function display, in the center of the dash, that not only gives you a detailed log of your driving behavior - speed, g-force, fuel economy etc - but also gives details |
|
| of the car's mechanical information (turbo boost, water and engine oil pressure, transmission oil, front/rear drive distribution etc) plus steering angles, braking and acceleration pressure, and also optimal gearshift mapping for best fuel economy. The design of the multi-function display - which also includes the satellite navigation and audio controls - was done in conjunction with Polyphony Digital Inc, designer of the Gran Turismo video game series for Sony PlayStation.
In the center of the dashboard, below the multi-function display, is a cluster angled towards the |

| driver. It contains switches for the air conditioning, audio and set-up switches, used to change the tuning of components including dampers, gear shift and VDC.
The center console, which sweeps through the middle of the cabin, contains the red start button, the leather shift lever (the same leather used for the steering wheel, to help tactility) and parking brake, which aligns with the center armrest when off, functioning as an extended arm rest. The shift lever selector chooses Park, Reverse, Neutral, Automatic or Manual, and manual gear |

| shifts are done by paddles directly behind the steering wheel. There is a full automatic gear change provision, useful in heavy traffic or when relaxing rather than sporty driving is desired.
The steering wheel is small, comfortable to hold and trimmed in soft hand-stitched leather. Switches have been placed on spokes in an orderly, logical manner. Seats are especially designed for the Nissan GT-R. They're heavily side bolstered for maximum lateral support and comfort. It has a particularly better for supporting the body and reduce slipping. To relax the lower legs during longer drives, the front edge of the seat is unusually flat; it also makes getting into and out of the seat easier. |
|
| Access to front or rear seats is easy and visibility is excellent. Though the car fully engenders a special 'sense of occasion' once behind the wheel - thanks to the sporty cabin, dynamic performance and handling - it is a also a very 'normal' car in many ways, not so different from an everyday sedan. It's roomy, comfortable, light and airy. It is much more practical and user friendly than other cars in this performance bracket.
The Nissan GT-R has the greatest range of seat adjustment of any supercar, to ensure that virtually all drivers can get comfortable behind the wheel. The driver's seat is designed so that anyone from 144cm-190cm will feel comfortable behind the wheel. The seat slide is long (228mm), the seat is height- and rake-adjustable and the steering wheel also has a wide range of adjustments (60mm tilt, 60mm telescopic), the better to allow almost all drivers to find the perfect driving position. The fulcrum for the tilt mechanism is at the bottom of the steering shaft, to keep the steering wheel angle optimized. Like many high-performance four-seat coupes, the rear seats are more 'occasional' seats than full-size chairs. Though perfectly comfortable for most adults on short journeys, they are better for children or for carrying bags, jackets and other goods. The center console sweeps through the middle of the cabin, dividing left and right rear seats. Between the seats there is the provision for optional two BOSE sound system woofers. The trunk is large (VDA: 315L), easily big enough for two sets of golf bags or for substantial holiday luggage. Luggage space is further improved by the car's run-flat tires which obviate the need for a spare tire in the trunk. The seat has three color schemes: black, black with red highlight or gray. Says design director Shiro Nakamura: 'An underlying philosophy of the NissanGT-R is that it is a fast car that's easy to drive fast. So there is nothing intimidating about the controls. Everything feels instantly familiar, apart from the novel multi-function meter - which is also highly intuitive and we believe will prove very popular with owners'. |
