Close on the heels of the GT-R’s launch in India on December 2, Nissan inaugurated the first Nissan High Performance Centre (NHPC) in India, at Noida, NCR. Apart from offering sales and service for Nissan cars in the brand’s current product range, the centre will be the only showroom to have the all-new 2017 Nissan GT-R on display and for sale. It will also serve as the exclusive sales and service centre for all GT-Rs sold in India.

The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment imported from Japan. This includes a dedicated service bay for the GT-Rs, wheel alignment machines, and the necessary tools and equipment for the car’s engines, transmissions, braking systems and performance optimisation. It even has a special nitrogen filling station to inflate the GT-R’s tyres to match its dynamic suspension.

“The centre shows our commitment to bringing Nissan’s best global products to India and our unwavering commitment to provide world-class service to our customers,” said Arun Malhotra, managing director, Nissan Motor India. “The NHPC takes pride in its technicians’ ability to provide unique, global standards of technical assistance to Nissan GT-R owners across India.”

Speaking on the occasion, Nissan's chief product specialist for the GT-R, Hiroshi Tamura, said, “The Nissan GT-R is the ultimate symbol of Nissan driving pleasure and it requires the highest standards of service and care to deliver peak driving excitement.”

Chosen to blend customer care with a passion for Nissan sports cars, each member of NHPC has received meticulous training in Japan. Additionally, mobile technicians called ‘flying doctors’ will be on call to make on-site visits to help GT-R owners anywhere in India.
