Test report by CoMod Lotus on Carrera the Evo Nissan GT-R Calsonic Team Impul No. 12
(27317)
. That was the headline in Auto Bild in March 2008, when the Nissan GT-R made its debut on the racetrack of the Japanese SUPER GT series.
And to this day, the GT-R has remained the dominant car it set out to be.
One of the most successful teams fielding the Nissan is Team Calsonic-Impul. It is owned by Calsonic Kansei Corporation, a Japanese automotive supplier (in which Nissan increased its stake from 27.6% to 41.7% in January 2005). The cars are striking blue; here’s a video of the car during a tire test:

And this hot race car is now also available fromCarrera !
While previous versions of the rice cooker from Yokohama were already visual highlights, the blue GT-R from Team Calsonic beats them all, in my opinion. Okay, that probably has to do with the fact that I just like blue cars. But the Nissan really looks good on the track.
And just like its big role model, the Schlitzrenner is currently probably one of the best, if not the best, car on the grid: wide track, excellent acceleration, and stable cornering (even without magnets).
I’m actually not a fan of modern race cars—I’m more of a classic car enthusiast. But I have every version of the Nissan in my collection; no Porsche has ever managed that with me.

In early 2008, the press reported: 'The new Nissan GT-R is competing in the Super GT Championship! Two factory and three private cars in the Japanese Super GT.'
The blue Calsonic GT-R from Team IMPUL is also driven by a European/Japanese duo: Frenchman Sebastien Philippe (who was still in the Hasemi car in 2007) takes turns there with former Krumm partner Tsugio Matsuda.
How could it be any different! I was already totally thrilled by the two predecessors. And the new color variant of the Nissan GT-R in the EVO version is once again fantastic—gelungen.Ich all I can say is: unbox it, plug it in, put it on the track, and have a blast.
Visually, another great version has been chosen, and the blue with the chrome roof has been beautifully executed. The new chassis technology, with its advantages—a very clean layout, soft return springs, and ample steering angle—ensures a fantastic driving experience! There’s also plenty of room for trim weights if you want them. Just like its predecessors
, it features a front axle with excellent concentricity.
The test drive was once again extremely positive, but honestly, I didn’t expect anything else! As is well known, the Evo variant no longer has lights, but the car is equipped with the mounting brackets for the light boards, so retrofitting shouldn’t be a problem.
For me, the Nissan GT-R remains one of the most fun cars to drive. For fans of GT cars, I recommend buying it 100%.
As a fan of larger scale models, I can only envy the DIGITAL132 drivers of this speedster.
