Suspension is a special Bilstein DampTronic system that utilizes vehicle feedback to provide appropriate damping forces for all driving situations like straight-line sprints, cornering, and braking maneuvers.

Braking on the GT-R features large Brembo full-floating drilled rotors and six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo calipers. Run-flat tires exclusively designed for the Nissan GT-R offer balance and high grip in all-weather and driving conditions.
