Revealed: Official Photos of the 2012 Nissan GT-R

Courtesy of CarBuzz: Godzilla’s latest edition has been revealed ahead of its sales launch later this month. Nissan has just released their 2012 edition of the GT-R with a promo video and a gallery chock full of photos.The big and bulky beast (aka Godzilla) is back with its awesome acceleration, superior handling and upgraded interior for all the performance of a supercar at a reasonable price.The new GT-R features some new design cues, such as a revised front fascia with integrated LED running lights and redesigned headlights.
New wheels and a revised rear diffuser along with a claimed 10 percent added front and rear downforce further increase Godzilla's looks and performance.Under the hood, Nissan tweaked the powerful twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine for an impressive output of 530hp and 488lb-ft of torque. That is a 45hp increase from last year's model. Improved fuel economy and emissions levels also add to the legend that is the Japanese automaker's supercar. A 0-60mph time of a shocking 3.1 seconds doesn't hurt Godzilla's image either.MSRP for the 2012 Nissan GT-R is set at $89,950, not too shabby for a supercar.
