A brochure by Nissan (2024) introduces the VR38DETT engine used in the Nissan GT-R R35. The VR38DETT is a 3.8L high-performance, twin-turbocharged V6 engine renowned for its reliability and performance. Its key features include a bore x stroke of 95.5mm x 88.4mm, a compression ratio of 9.0:1, a direct fuel injection system and a double overhead camshaft with 24 valves. These combinations allow the engine to produce up to 550 horsepower, and 632 Nm of torque. The engine adopts a ladder frame structure to provide the crankshaft with additional support, considering the high torque figures produced by the engine. To ensure the reliability of the engine, the engine cylinder block and pistons are both made with aluminum for strength and lightness.
