2017 Nissan GTR India Exterior
While the overall shape of the new GTR remains largely identical to the discontinued model, it gets some upgrades both inside and out. Exterior updates include a redesigned bonnet, new bumper with finishers below the headlamps and newly designed front spoiler lip. Though, the most significant comes in the form of the new V-motion grille in matte-finish. The new grille has been enlarged to offer better engine cooling. All the aforementioned changes give the GT-R the look of a proper racecar, while offering better front down-force.
The 2017 GTR’s side profile is the typical GT-R, though the sills have been pushed out that also improves air flow. The vehicle’s rear, too, looks refreshing with some upgrades. Though the four-ring tail-lamps are the same that we have already seen on previous models, it gets new bodywork improving its air flow. The car also features a redesigned rear bumper and side air vents placed right next to the new Titanium exhaust tips.
