2012 Nissan GTR spec - 530hp; Rumour: 0-60mph under 3secs





Quote:
Entering its fourth year of availability in the North American market, the 2012 Nissan GT-R has a new look, new colors, new wheel design and, most important to fans of pure power, more horsepower under the hood. In addition, a new "Black Edition"– with unique seats, interior colors and wheels – joins the GT-R Premium model. The latest iteration of Nissan's legendary supercar makes its North American debut that the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show and will be available at official "GT-R certified" Nissan dealers across the United States in early 2011.

The 2012 Nissan GT-R's advanced VR38DETT 3.8-liter twin turbo V6 now produces 530 horsepower (versus the previous 485 horsepower) and 488 lb-ft of torque (versus the previous 434 lb-ft) – a result of modifying the boost pressure of the turbocharger, valve timing and air mixture ratio, and through reducing intake air resistance by enlarging the inlet pipe diameter. In addition, exhaust air resistance was reduced through use of an enlarged section of exhaust pipe.

GT-R's newly designed, lighter weight and more rigid forged aluminum 20-inch wheels, once again manufactured by RAYS®, help improve suspension response. Knurling inside the wheels is modified to help keep the tires from slipping around the wheels under heavy acceleration or braking. The wheels also feature a new premium dark (near black) finish, which provides a high quality, high-performance look. The Black Edition features special black six-spoke RAYS® lightweight wheels in place of the Premium model's 10-spoke design.

Inside, the revisions for 2012 include new carbon fiber trim and upgraded materials. The Black Edition adds custom red-trimmed Recaro® seats, red and black interior trim and a dark headliner

Six exterior colors are available, including two new colors: Deep Blue Pearl and Jet Black. Other available colors are Solid Red, Gun Metallic, Pearl White and a limited production 4-stage metallic Super Silver

LEDs? What LEDs?

All I see is blue paint, carbon fiber bits and lots of quickness.

I don't see anything wrong the LEDs to be honest. Looks sharp and fine to me. I'd much prefer having LEDs on as DRL instead of halogen.

^^there isnt anything wrong with led's if the car straight up came with them in the first place.. BUT imo, its when the cars get slightly 'facelifted' or slightly 'updated' from the previous model and companies decide to find an empty space and squeeze in and 'add' leds to it, than it just looks awkward and out of place..

i think it looks good when it's attached to the headlight like the new Lexus IS...but if it stands alone as a strip it looks like crap IMO

noob question: will the LED serve only as DRL? If so wouldn't it be soley an asesthetic component on models outside of Canada?

^LEDs on Audis, Mercs and Porsche are DRL. But some cars like the LS600L and Audi A8 have LED headlights. I like how the LEDs on Audis look the best.

still a fucking Nissan -- not worth $100K+ to me

GTRs depreciate like CRAZY -- not holding their value

Not a good buy in Canada -- lease maybe ok
