2013 Nissan GTR gets power bump to 570??
This past weekend at the Nurburging Nissan held a European Press Event to debut the MY2012 ( 2013 US spec) GT-R.
Just 1 year the comprehensive updates of the DBA-R35, the GTR continues its evolution. Details from the event are still being gathered and we will keep you posted, but here is what is currently know:
- The 2013 GTR will once again feature a substantial gain in HP on par with the current increase from last years model. The final number will be announced at the car's launch, but it was shown at the event to be at least 40hp so expect 570+ HP. In addtion to increased boost, revisions to the intake and exhaust have been made.
- Visually the 2013 remains the same with no additional color options
- Suspension and Transmission logic have been tweaked
- Under body has been changed to improve aero and cooling
- Co2 emissions have once again been lowered
- Premium Black Edition and Egoist will be offered worldwide
- Official Ring Time Attack attempt is expected mid October
- The R35 life cycle is expected to continue for 2 additional model years
- In addition to these models a "Track Edition" will be available as RHD only to markets outside the US. This GTR is the one we reported on earlier this week with carbon parts inspired by Nissan Test Driver Toshio Suzuki's GTR tuning brand "Nordring ". It also features Dunlop Race slicks aswell as Volk Racing wheels....

Would an extra hp on an already super powerful car really make a difference?
I mean this car already shoot from 0 - 60 in breakneck speeds.
I personally think its a diminishing return.
I havent personal drove or gotten a ride on this car so I wouldnt know.

With 530hp it already does a sub 3 second 0-60, imagine how it'll be with 570hp. It sucks that this will have more hp than the 375k LFA and this only being 90k. Nissan is officially ahead of the game if this is true.

The extra power could improve the car's top end speed.
