2012 Nissan GTR

There aren’t many cars that can match the Nissan GT-R,either in performance or desirability, and the ultra performance potential is even greater for the 2012 model year.

2012 Nissan GTR

This supercar now comes in six different versions: "Pure Edition," "Black Edition," "Premium Edition," "SpecV," ClubTrack," and "EGOIST." The big news of this year is the Egoist edition. It was exclusively created by Takumi, or "master with greatest skills." Each unit will be unique, as customers will be able to choose from a combination of 20 interior colors, four upper area interior colors, and 10 lower area interior colors. The seats are an exclusive quilted design with single and double stitching combined.

The inner beauty of the 2012 Nissan GT-R will shine with a new carbon fiber trim, a newly shaped instrument panel pad and navigation system display finisher, real carbon center cluster finisher, matte black finished switches, expensive, lightweight magnesium gear paddles. Nissan are now offering a choice of Recaro race-inspired seats for the Black Edition or fuller, more luxurious options for the Pure and Premium editions. Both are leather of course.

The suspension that so wrenched my neck in the current generation has been tamed a bit for 2012 with the front double wishbones and rear multi links providing better comfort on the road without sacrificing track stiffness. Steering is incredibly direct at speed, though the massive tires are extremely difficult to turn in no- to low speed situations, such as when trying to park the car.

The engine continues to be a 3.8-litre twin turbocharged V6, but it now puts out 530 horsepower and 448 lb.-ft. of torque. Linked to a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters, the combination is enough to drag the GT-R to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, says Nissan. Launch control holds the clutch drop until 4,000 engine rpm, launching the car without a hint of tire chirp. Real world 0-60 mph launches during the car’s track day returned a best time of 2.9 seconds.
