Nissan exposes the gamer’s dream: a PlayStation remote managed GT-R

As part of the release of the most recent Gran Turismo game, Nissan as well as JLB style Ltd. have teamed as much as produced the supreme toy: a Nissan GT-R (named the GTR/C) managed wirelessly by a PlayStation remote.
As well as going directly to the top of every 12-year old boy’s Christmas list, the Japanese supercar puts 542bhp as well as 636Nm of torque at the fingertips of anybody who wields the plastic remote. These figures imply the 3.8-litre V6 under the bonnet will terminate the cars and truck from a standstill to 62mph in a declared 2.8s as well as if you keep you thumbs pinned, on to a top speed of 196mph. stating that, if you are doing those speeds with the remote you will want to invest in a helicopter, as the controller’s variety is just one kilometer.

To bring the GTR/C from idea to reality, UK firm JLB style Ltd. fitted the cars and truck with four robots which utilize the signals from the controller to change the throttle, steering, transmission, and, importantly, brakes at a rate of 100 times a second.

In addition to this, as well as to avoid the one as well as only GTR/C suffering PlayStation style crashes, it has been fitted with two independent security systems which can used if the chauffeur has gone much more Grand Theft Auto, than Gran Turismo. The very first of which can jam on the brakes, as well as the second can shut off the engine.
Controlling the cars and truck during its marketing video was Jann Mardenborough, who won Nissan’s GT Academy, which scours the globe for the very best Gran Turismo chauffeurs as well as puts them behind the wheel of genuine racing cars.
His fastest lap was 1:17:47, which is not a million miles away from old fashioned times published by the likes of the Porsche Cayman GT4 as well as Caterham Superlight R when there was an chauffeur really in the cockpit.
While this is simply a Nissan publicity stunt, seeing the GTR/C work in genuine life makes you question if there is prospective for a huge remote manage race series – one which takes a much much more unwinded method to get in touch with during the race…
