Litchfield LM20 Nissan GT-R launched with 666bhp (496kw)
Uprated 2017 GT-R Black Edition can accelerate from 0-60mph in 2.5sec and reach more than 200mph
The Litchfield LM20, a heavily uprated version of the 2017 Nissan GT-R Black Edition that produces 666bhp and 600lb ft, has been revealed at the Autosport International show in Birmingham
The reworked two-door’s 3.8-litre V6 makes 74bhp and 119lb ft more than even the GT-R Nismo. It is claimed to be capable of accelerating the LM20 from 0-60mph in 2.5sec and 0-100mph in 5.7sec. Top speed is said to be more than 200mph.
To handle the extra power, the LM20 has been given bespoke traction control and electronic stability control software, and Bilstein Damptronic suspension has been fitted to the chassis with custom Eibach springs and anti-roll bars.
The car uses 400mm Alcon discs front and rear and it sits on lightweight Rays Track Edition wheels and Michelin tyres. It also wears new carbonfibre bodyparts and a revised grille.
Gloucestershire-based Litchfield has released the LM20 to celebrate its 20th year. The firm describes the new model as its ultimate “turn-key” model, meaning it is the most potent version of the GT-R it has produced that still allows for daily road use. Lichfield adds a three-year warranty, breakdown cover and three years of free servicing for each LM20.
Just 20 examples of the LM20 are set to be produed. Each will be priced from £96,995, which is £16,000 more than the entry price for a regular GT-R.
