Airflow over the GT-R’s body has been improved as well, resulting in a 10 percent improvement in downforce and reduction in the vehicle’s coefficient of drag. Modifications to the fascia even fit larger grille openings for increased air supply to the brakes and radiator. Where performance breathing is concerned, the GT-R is well covered.
Ditto traction and stability. With the goal of delivering easily-accessible, industry-leading performance, Nissan’s specially-tuned ATTESA E-TS All Wheel Drive system delivers maximum traction on any surface and in any weather. The GT-R also provides drivers several ways to customize the performance experience to their exact tastes and skill level. Suspension firmness, transmission shift characteristics and the stability control system are all adjustable in numerous stages.
Finally, the GT-R’s 20-inch RAYS wheels have been redesigned, reinforced and lightened to further the GT-R’s already staggering handling characteristics.
Of course, the GT-R’s handling and power don’t mean taking a hit in the safety or practicality departments, either. Despite its impressive performance specifications, the GT-R is a four-seat vehicle and one with a relatively generous trunk and a full suite of safety and driver-support systems. Dare we say, it’s an ideal track-bred, all-weather rocket sled for motorsports enthusiasts, young families, or anyone in between.
The 2012 GT-R is set to go on sale early this year at GT-R Certified Nissan dealerships across the continent.
