More review on the 2012



The Nismo test driver consistently recorded 2.7 and 2.8 second 0-60 mph sprints on cold pavement in dry, high 40-degree weather - that's nearly a second quicker than last year's model. After four consecutive runs, the R Mode Start Function automatically deactivates to reduce wear, and only reinstates after 1.5 miles of driving.
Nowadays, the GT-R jinks and jukes with the sprightliness and eagerness of a car half its size. With a thicker, more generous mid-range torque curve, it thrusts from corners faster than any prior U.S.-spec editions. Steering feel remains weighty, though now it is vastly more communicative and highly reactive to the slightest of inputs.
Bigger 15.4-inch front rotors are clamped by revised Brembo six-piston monoblock calipers. Redesigned forged aluminum 20 x 9.5-inch, 20 x 10.5-inch Rays Engineering wheels cut 6.6 pounds per vehicle and are 30% stiffer than the outgoing model. They also have an inner flange to reduce slippage during high g-load..
