2012 Nissan GT-R Features More Horsepower, New “Black Edition,” Revised Fascias and Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
– Nissan’s Multi-Dimensional 530-Horsepower Supercar Makes North American Debut at Los Angeles Auto Show, Set to Go On Sale in Early 2011 –
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 already impressive aerodynamics have been improved for 2012 with downforce increased by about 10% and the coefficient of drag reduced to 0.26 (from 0.27). Stability is improved by enlarged fascia and grille openings, which also help reduce air resistance inside the engine compartment. The volume of air that passes through the radiator and cools the front brakes is also increased.

The newly refreshed front fascia features aggressive double rectifier fins and new integrated high intensity LED running lights. Additional plated parts are used for the headlight inner panels, enhancing the car’s strong visual presence.

The redesigned rear fascia features a lower center of gravity than the previous design, created by using a sculpted lower section and extended length. Underfloor cooling performance is also enhanced and air resistance reduced by extending the rear diffuser.

In addition, cooling performance for the muffler is improved and rear downforce is increased by about 10% through use of a new rear fascia outlet and new vents on the lower rear fenders that help remove air from the rear wheel wells. Newly designed larger diameter tailpipe finishers are also adopted. 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.

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.

“The Nissan GT-R continues to be a multi-dimensional performance machine that lives up to the concept of ‘the ultimate supercar that can be driven by anyone, anytime, anywhere,’” said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. “With the enhancements for 2012, including its 530-horsepower twin turbo V6 and revised styling, the GT-R legend continues to grow. We can’t wait for its arrival in Nissan showrooms, and on the streets, here in the U.S.”

Additional information on the 2012 Nissan GT-R, including on-sale date, will be available in the coming months.

yeah i mean the car does 0-60 in 2.9 secs!

Wow, way to be an a$$, looking for more details, press releases usually just give the bare bones.
Thank you MC for answering the question properly.

selling yours to get a new one?

are you selling your current GTR for one of these? ^

Edit - wow posts after MC came in too fast lol

I was referencing MC

yes mine is forsale now

61.9K

why not upgrade the piping and get more hp then get a 2012?

im just different

i would rather have a stock black edtion with those specV wheels and that special interior from the factory than any 1200hp aftermarket beast of a GTR on the planet

i had about 20-25 more HP with all my HKS stuff exhaust components but i just sold it all for the 2012 fund

wow.

response #1: :ugh2:

response #2: I want to work where you work.

I'm extremely impressed that nissan held the pricing of the Premium to just under 90K, I really expected it to rise over that mark. Even better is the Black ed is finally available and only 5K more.

I'm with you MC, i'd totally spring for the black ed, if nothing else, for those specv wheels.

Juno said she'd be pissed if we still had our "old" one now that the '12 is so improved.

I wish I had your dilemma MC.

Great info, +1 on a great bargain for the performance.

Damn it, guess I'll never beat a gtr...
:<

Dreamer, found this on YouTube this morning:



:yum:

Now if I can just convince the wife to get rid of her car . . .

yeah the USDM is bascially that but with the black SpecV wheels and without the rear LED light on the diffuser ( same situation as you 370z guys)

Looks like a good/cheaper alternative to a Porsche 911TT. The only part of it I don't like came up at 1:23. That part belongs in an Altima.

Quite sexy, and glad to see Nissan giving at least one of their performance cars a nice power bump (WHERE'S THE 370Z LOVE? NISSAN YOU HAVE FORSAKEN US!!!!!!!!!!!!......) but I'll never buy one until they offer a true manual transmission.

you'll never buy one then, GTR will never have a manual ever again. the car is pretty much built around the GR6 gearbox

0-100 km/h in 3 secs :eek:
the GTR must come with airsickness bags.

yup 0-60 will be 2.9 or even less depending on surface conditions

Wow! At least the previous gen will be more affordable.

That blue is sex.
SO MUCH! nicer than Gray. Or grey. Or...any other slight variation of the theme.

Going to admit here, if the new GT-R was as affordable as a new Z06, I would have bought one instead and just learned to deal with the autotragic. I love how they look. Saw one in person at the (gasp!) Ford dealership that someone had (wtf?) traded for a GT500. Very nice and pix don't do them justice.

Is "R" mode in this capacity new for 2012? That sounds like it's full of win.

yes and no.... yes as its its own function now to launch the car its not really "new" just revised improved and endorsed...

but no in the sense that all models previous would do something similar

Still nice to see it endorsed for that purpose.

love that blue, keeps growing and growing on me.

MC--what's the latest on the delivery date for your '12??

i have a order # as of like 3 weeks ago so i think its one of the first black editions ordered in the whole country ... i should have a VIN# by mid February if everything goes like i hope which would probably take delivery in early April

I bet the wait is killing you! :) (I know it'd be killing me)

BTW, might have missed it earlier, but do you have any idea how many black ed vs premium's are slated for the states?
