On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago and Randy Pobst head to the track with the most extreme GTR yet, the 2014 GTR Track Pack. Unlike in previous years, the 2014 GT-R does not receive any power or torque upgrades, so its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 produces the same 545 horsepower and 463 lb-ft of torque as it did in 2013. That’s not to say that Nissan left the VQ38DETT alone — the engine receives new injectors that provide more torque on the high side of the rev range and an oil pan baffle that stabilizes oil behavior and pressure when the car is being driven hard. The six-speed, twin-clutch gearbox and Atessa all-wheel-drive system remain unchanged.
