The Nissan GT-R just gets better and better every year and 2013 will be no exception. The original version launched back in 2007 at the Tokyo Motor Show delivered a total of 473 HP and the most recent model - Model Year 2012 - went up to an impressive 530 HP, and things aren’t slowing down for the Japanese automaker. Apparently, the next model year (2012 in Japan, 2013 in USA) will deliver an impressive 560 HP.
The biggest news, however, is a Spec R version that will replace the current Spec V. The new Spec R version will lose about 66 to 88 lbs from the overall weight and a gold engine cover will replace the current red cover on the Spec V. This will no doubt be the most powerful GT-R Nissan has ever offered.
The revised GTR should have been out in the public eye already, but its launch was delayed by the natural disasters over in Japan. Now it seems that the car is back on track with the final testings being done on the Nurburgring in either September or October 2011. The Nissan GTR’s official debut will be made shortly thereafter.
Nissan announced new details on the 2013 GT-R sports car during a European press event at the Nürburgring. Apparently, the new model year GT-R will develop a total of 570 HP and will be offered with a tweaked suspension and transmission, and an under body modification to improve aero and cooling. CO2 emissions have also been lowered.
When the new model debuts, Nissan will be offering a Premium Black Edition and Egoist Edition worldwide, plus a "Track Edition" to markets outside of the US. The R35 GT-R will be produced for another two years.
