Wheels Australia — June 2017

(Barré) #1
Australian versions will be
pretty much fully loaded – as
you’d hope for a $327,100 tag


  • although carbon-ceramic
    brakes will be reserved for the
    options list. No saving if you
    opt for the manual.


There’s an improved data
loggingsystemaspartofthe
PCM infotainment system; the
Track Precision App allows lap
and sector times to be recorded
along with basic telemetry –
also shared to a smartphone to
impress your mates.

Like the outgoing GT3, this one
has active rear steering and
active auto-stiffening engine
mounts, plus torque vectoring
with the PDK. The PDK also
releases its clutches if you
pull both gearchange paddles
together, “meaning that the
rear of the vehicle can be
deliberately destabilised”.

Nissan GT-R Track
$227,000
Opting for Japan’s hi-po giant is
like swapping scalpel for machete,
while pocketing $100K. Twin turbos
and all-four traction bring immense
point ’n’ shoot pace, now with more
rear-bias and nicer cabin.

Mercedes-AMG GT R
$349,000

staggeringly high limits, yet it can
