Nissan Note Aura AUTECH SPORTS SPEC Changes
The “AUTECH SPORTS SPEC” is based on the base grade “G” and has been specially tuned to further enhance driving performance. Its features can be summarized in the following three points.
1. Improved driving performance with carefully selected parts
The first thing to note is that the car uses Michelin e-PRIMACY tires, which boast an excellent overall balance, providing both a comfortable ride and high grip performance.
Furthermore, the car is equipped with a Performance Damper® that effectively suppresses vibrations to the vehicle body, thereby reducing unpleasant vibrations caused by input from the road surface and achieving stable driving.
It also comes equipped with a large roof spoiler that enhances stability at high speeds. Not only does it create a sporty appearance, but it also improves aerodynamic performance, allowing for a more dynamic driving experience.
2. Thorough driving by experienced drivers
In addition to these special parts, the vehicle’s posture, suspension specifications, and power steering characteristics have been optimized through thorough testing by experienced test drivers.
The suspension has been specially tuned to provide both suppleness and stability, providing a comfortable ride regardless of road conditions. The power steering characteristics have also been modified to achieve handling that is faithful to the driver’s intentions.
3. Improved acceleration feel with dedicated tuning computer
The computer that controls the acceleration feel is also specially designed to achieve smoother, more powerful acceleration, allowing the driver to enjoy a pleasant acceleration feeling every time they step on the accelerator.
Through these tunings, the Note Aura AUTECH SPORTS SPEC combines reassuring handling with an exhilarating, high-quality ride. The passion of the NMC development team is embodied in a special “TUNED BY NMC” emblem, which is affixed to the interior.
Special equipment only available at AUTECH SPORTS SPEC
The “AUTECH SPORTS SPEC” is not only tuned to improve driving performance, but also features special interior and exterior features.
The exterior features an exclusive AUTECH front grille, front protector, side sill finishers, and rear protector, as well as an AUTECH SPORTS SPEC roof spoiler. These exclusive parts accentuate the sporty and sophisticated styling.
The interior features black leather seats with blue stitching, creating a luxurious atmosphere, while dark wood finishers and black leatherette accents further enhance the luxurious feel.
