Nissan’s GT-R has always been an incredible machine, often making more expensive super cars look silly in a drag race with it’s incredible acceleration. The new 2012 Nissan GT-R has improved on the previous version and Nissan has once again created the ‘supercar killer’.

2012 Nissan GT-R gets more power

The 2012 Nissan GT-R made its North American debut at the LA Auto Show and will be available early in 2011. It comes with an advanced 3.8 litre twin turbo V6 which produces 530 hp compared to the previous version which produced 485 hp.

Nissan then went ahead and provided this image as a digital readout displaying the exact acceleration figures, just to make sure there was no doubt.

This obviously translates into some serious acceleration and to prove just what the vehicle is capable of, Nissan held a media event with the GT-R’s acceleration on display. The vehicle used was a 11MY Nissan GT-R Pure edition, with completely standard specifications (including tires and wheels) and no optional parts. The car tested over 2 days and on both days the GT-R completed 0-100km/h in just 3 seconds.
