it was designed to go fast without much effort. There are a few new additions to the 2012 GTR that differentiate it from past models. The front end has been redesigned in an effort to improve air intake and engine cooling. The overall body has been reshaped to create a more aerodynamic profile. This should both decrease overall drag on the vehicle and improve downforce at higher speeds. Part of the reason for these redesigns is Nissan’s efforts to create a more efficient car that doesn’t skimp on power in anyway. The redesign continues throughout the exterior features as well. The head lights have been refitted with high power LED running lights which should improve visibility on dark nights. The wheels have also been re-engineered with new alloys that allow for lighter wheels that are stronger than what was found before. On the inside we find Nissan understands that the interior of a modern car is just as important as the exterior. The seats in the new 2012 Nissan GTR are obviously designed for both speed and comfort. Including prominent suede upholstery in certain key areas, Nissan is making sure that the 2012 GTR keeps its passengers and driver in their seats even during high speed turns. The overall design of the cabin is modern and efficient does everything it can to portray the image of high-tech luxury. All of the controls are solid and have good response times. One notable addition to the 2012 GT-R is the navigation screen. While other cars will offer a few diagnostic options, Nissan has taken it farther than ever before by offering real time driving data such as cornering force, gear position and even lap time. Proving that they’re serious about power, Nissan has teamed up with the company behind video game series Gran Turismo, to bring owners of the 2012 Nissan GT-R this amazing new display While all of this modern technology is impressive, we find all of the true power under the hood. The 2012 GTR is powered by a monster of an engine. Nissan has managed to pack in a twin turbocharged 3.8 liter V6 engine which means that this car has enough muscle to rival some of the most famous supercars available. The engine delivers a whopping 530 horsepower with almost 500 foot pounds of torque. All of this tells us that Nissan is set to compete with some of the most serious speed demons on the market. In fact, the 2012 GTR can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about 3 seconds and has no problem maintaining speeds of almost 80 miles per hour on a test slalom. All of this power is being routed through the 2012 GT-R’s advanced AWD based automatic, six speed dual clutch transmission. While some purists may complain about the automatic transmission, Nissan has made sure that the 2012 Nissan GTR is accessible to a variety of drivers. Not to be outdone in the style department, Nissan is releasing the 2012 GTR with a number of different option packages as well. To start out with we have the standard package which boasts an impressive array of features that would be premium on any other car. From 20 inch alloy wheels, to Xenon headlights, day time running lights , heated seats, keyless ignition and a Bose sound system, it’s hard to imagine how Nissan packed this many features into such a fast car. In addition to all of this the standard package even includes blue tooth connectivity, an iPod dock and a navigation system with almost 10 gigs of storage that brings real time weather and traffic updates. Optional upgrades are slightly more aesthetic save for the “cold weather package” which outfits the 2012 GTR for cold weather action. It seems that in the past one had to choose between power and performance or comfort and amenities. Nissan is proving that this is no longer true with its jaw dropping new 2012 Nissan GTR. This is a stylish and modern car with enough technology to make any computer geek jealous. The 2012 GT-R also packs a serious punch which makes it a rare and unique marriage of 21st century technology and old fashioned, rubber burning, track destroying automotive power. Anyone looking for a truly amazing car can find exactly what they’ve been dreaming of in the 2012 Nissan GT-R.
