Mild tweaks for 2012 GT-R

From these photos, a modified front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights is present. In total, the sleeker bodywork results in a coefficient of drag (Cd) that drops from 0.272 to 0.268. Also, downforce has been improved by 10 percent thanks to a new rear diffuser.

We also have a new color - the new blue, officially named Aurora Flare Blue Pearl. According to the GTRBlog, the updated black is officially (but again, tentatively) called Nebula Opal Black (color code GAG).
These two colors represent the only body color changes for the 2012 GT-R base and premium models.

I heard they are going to eliminate the launch control, any one know if that is true?

Thanks

I think they eliminated Launch control already, after the first year I think because of people over using the feature.

The Blue will look very nice. I am a fan of the upgrades. GT-R not a pretty car to start, but grown on me.

Let's not forget the "PEARL" part! That is gonna be one sexy color indeed. The front facia looks much better and the LED's make everything look better.

The CD is amazing considering its a wide car with wide tires. Wide tires alone can drop your CD 4-5 points easy.

Oddly, I wonder what the CD would be with like 175 series tires
