For those who have seen the Initial D anime, Takeshi Nakazato and his Nissan GT-R must leave a deep impression on them. Today the protagonist of the article is his brother, the Nissan GT-R Nismo. The second Nismo is undoubtedly a legend in motorsport history. It's a perfect combination of a streetcar and a track-friendly GT race car. The weight of this model is reduced by 20 kg due to its use of lighter materials. The engine and transmission combination could make an impressive 600 PS. Acceleration and handling have gotten better than before.
An unstoppable bullet —— This is perhaps the most appropriate word to describe the new Nismo. The astronomical power of the engine gives you the supremacy to take the initiative. But everything will change course when it reaches its extreme. High speed could increase the risk of traffic accidents. Therefore, the motor must be paired with a brake as decent as it is. Ultimately, Nissan has decided to turn to Brembo, the Italian brake expert who supplies the best brakes for its racing team and enjoys a worldwide reputation, to customize a brake system for the new GT-R Nismo. This leading team is destined to develop the most efficient and robust braking system capable of adapting to road conditions and extreme environments of all kinds. Without doubt, it would be the latest generation brake system.
Looking at the car from the sides we could see the big beautiful yellow brake calipers. The Yellow paint is a kind of material with good heat resistance. The maximum temperature it could withstand reached 100 degrees. This is sufficient to cope with the heat generated during high speed braking.
At the front, the 6-piston aluminum monobloc calipers engage a pair of large brake discs. The size of the carbon ceramic discs reaches 410mm × 38mm. The bearings took carbon as their material. At the rear, Brembo combined similar carbon ceramic discs with a diameter of 390mm. It is stopped by a smaller 4-piston monobloc caliper. The rotors are made from a combination of carbon and silica carbide, which makes them as hard as diamonds. His hood took high-strength aluminum as a material. The brake pads are made of carbon, which ensures an even distribution of piston pressure when braking.
Brembo's new brake system is undeniably the perfect icing on the cake of the Nissan GT-R Nismo. It will soon be applied to the Track edition.
