Nissan Refreshes GT-R for the 2012MY: First Photos Hit the Web


Here we go again; another year, another annual makeover for Nissan's halo sports car. Following on from the presentation of the GT-R in 2007, and after the revisions in December 2008 and October 2009, Nissan is getting ready to present a 2012MY version of its flagship sports model.

Even though the Japanese automaker has yet to make it official, the Nissan enthusiasts over at the GTRblog website posted some leaked images along with information on the updated model.

So, what do we have on the 2012MY GT-R? Well, on the outside, the Japanese sports car receives a restyled front bumper with LED running lights and a new rear diffuser. These changes are said to help drop the GT-R's drag coefficient from 0.272 to 0.268 while also improving rear downforce by 10%.

The car also gets a new set of Rays forged aluminium wheels, which reportedly save a total of 12kg (26.4 lbs), and two new exterior hues (blue and black).

The website added that the 2012MY GT-R will also benefit from some modest interior upgrades, as well as chassis and engine modifications, without going into any details. We'll keep you updated if anything new pops up.
