2012 Nissan GT-R Review

Answering question That consumed a significant part of the 2012 Nissan GT-R's press launch in California in January. The assembled press snorted skepticism. Our 3859-pound test car did an honest 2.9 seconds to 60 mph on our secret high-desert test track running 91-octane California pump gas with the ambient temperature at a slightly chilly 51 degrees. The fourth launch saw it running about 3.3 to 60. (The slowest GT-R time in our logs: 4.1 seconds.) The 2012 barrels through the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 126 mph, almost a full second and 11 mph faster than the car comparo That July 2008.
The 2012 Nissan GT-R gains more power, supplemented by A Few styling and aerodynamic changes to the exterior and A Few revisions to the interior. A new GT-R Black Edition debuts. Where high technology meets high performance, you find some serious automobiles. As an example, look no further than the 2012 Nissan GT-R. As the representative of Nissan's latest technology, the GT-R packs some pretty serious hardware, including a fire-breathing twin-turbo V6, a dual-clutch automated manual transmission, an advanced all-wheel-drive system and a sports-focused suspension with adaptive dampers. The GT-R's performance numbers, push it into the supercar category, yet the Nissan maintains a significantly lower price point.  

This year the Nissan GT-R expands its performance envelope even farther. The GT-R's bulk (it weighs around 3.800 pounds) also makes it feel heavier in tight corners than the typical supercar, while Nissan's stiff-legged ride Might Be of concern to WHO drivers value comfort more than outright performance.
Mizuno Attained by elevating these new figures of the turbocharger boost pressure from 0.75 bar to 0.90 bar, tweaking the engine's valve-timing system and altering the air / fuel ratio. Both depress the brake pedal and throttle pedal simultaneously, then let off the brakes, the new 2012
Nissan GT-R GT-R snaps off the line at an ideal 4000 rpm. The extra power is not the only thing Responsible for the car's enhanced acceleration; the new GT-R's aerodynamics are also significantly improved. (The previous GT-R was rated at 15/21.) Changes were the resource persons made to the front and rear caster settings for the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT tires, the only tires available for the new GT-R. The GT-R's electronically controlled ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system has been left alone for 2012. Of note is a special GT-R-specific yaw-rate feedback control, the which measures the differences the between the target yaw rate (calculated from steering angle) and the actual yaw rate (detected by the yaw-rate sensor and g sensor) to adjust torque bias. Stopping power is again provided by Brembo monoblock six-piston front and 4-piston rear brakes. The careful eye will of noticed subtle changes to the 2012 GT-R's exterior and interior. In Japan, Nissan is introducing an interesting new program for GT-R customers where owners of 2009, 2010 and 2011 GT-Rs Their cars can get upgraded to 2012 specs ... sort of like upgrading the operating system of your PC from Vista to Windows 7 .
