Here is the latest dope on Nissan’s latest and the greatest. The leaked image comes to you courtesy the folks at gtrblog which say that 2012 Nissan GT-R (2011 JDM) is in final stages of pre-launch preparations and will be officially launched before the year end.
The leaked images confirm the changes to the exteriors which have already been noticed in the spy images of the car doing rounds at Germany’s famed Nurburgring circuit. The front fascia now has integrated daytime running LED lights while the front bumper itself has been redesigned for even better efficiency which drop the already impressive COD of 0.272 to 0.268. The rear diffuser has also been redesigned and now provides 10% greater downforce pushing the envelope of what possible with a supercar even further.
The alloy wheels are now Rays forged aluminium which cut a massive 3 kgs per wheel of unsprung weight resulting in a total reduction of 12 kgs around the car. The new alloy wheels are not only lighter but also stiffer and will offer better steering response and feedback. They will be offered in two colors with attractive 3 layer ultra deep paint process – Hyper Blue Black and Hyper Titanium.
There are no details on the engine front but we expect the 3.8 liter turbocharged 485 bhp V6 engine to be fine tuned for more power.
Two new color options will also be available – Aurora Flare Blue Pearl and Nebula Opal Black.
