2011 Nissan GTR

[K-A]

Yeah, I'm surprised that it seemed like they alluded to the Z06 even slightly reeling the more powerful GTR in after the start. I'm surprised that the most powerful of all of them, the Mustang, gets slaughtered.

I guess you'd expect that from a car engineered to be a $55K muscle-car beast, VS almost $100K full fledged and engineered super sports cars.

Invincible. According to Webster's, the word means "incapable of being conquered, overcome or subdued." The adjective is often used to describe something so superior that it's nearly impossible to overthrow. Want to know what invincibility feels like? Strap yourself into the driver's seat of the 2012 Nissan GT-R, and then press the start button.

Just three years after successfully launching its flagship performance vehicle on our shores, the engineers at Nissan have introduced a subtly but completely reworked supercar. The engine has more power, the suspension has been revised, the wheels are lighter, the seats have been redesigned, the brakes are bigger, the chassis is stiffer and the aerodynamics have been reconfigured to improve cooling and provide more downforce. This isn't a manufacturer's token "mid-cycle refresh" to boost sales; these are changes that improve the overall drivability and performance of the GT-R so significantly that most will be inclined to consider it nothing short of a second-generation rebirth.

For starters, how does 0-60 in 2.88 seconds sound?

I've never been a fan of the GTR but that one right there is hot.

Those rims are terrible. But DAMN, the technological and performance perfectionism in this car just makes it so lust-worthy to me, and I also have never been a huge fan of it myself.

Any chance to get some scans of the review ? I think Autobilismo usually publishes a table with marks for different criteria and I'd like to see it

I don't buy Automobilismo, but I'll try to obtain some scans

Any chance to get the page on the left side as well... and a slightly higher resolution shot (I do not speak Italian but usually can guess the meaning... as long as I can read correctly the words) ?

Too bad the new GT-R uses the same ratios as the old one - however 312 km/h seems moderated, since the old one reached 314 km/h in Nardo (and in MotorTrend's speedtest).
