AT the very top of the Nissan range, the 2013 GT-R now has a reworked 550PS 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, generating improved responses from the mid- and upper-rev ranges. Modifications have also been made to the dampers, springs and front anti-roll bar. The result is greater high-speed stability, improved traction, a more refined ride and an enhanced driver experience.

The 0-62mph (0-100km/h) time is now only 2.7 seconds, 0.1 seconds quicker than in the model year 2012 car. The revised model is also even faster around the Nurburgring, lapping the famous German circuit in 7 min 19.1 seconds when undergoing testing in May 2012.

Kazutoshi Mizuno, creator of the GT-R, has revealed that 0.5 seconds were lost to traffic on that hot lap, indicating that the MY13 GT-R is capable of a 7 min 18.6 seconds lap. That compares to 7 min 21 seconds for the MY12 GT-R.

With the GT-R always showcasing Nissan's latest technology, the modifications made are derived from data generated during competitive racing at the 2012 Nurburgring 24-Hour race in Germany in which two near-production GT-R models were competing.

The Nissan GT-R is a 4-wheel-drive super-coupe like no other, with a lineage and integrity that stretches back more than four decades.

It has a sharper mid-range engine response and improved high-end acceleration thanks to the incorporation of high-output injectors.

By adding a specially-designed baffle plate to the oil pan, oil pressure is better stabilized while rotational friction within the oil pan is reduced, especially during high-performance driving.

After meticulously measuring the roll center of a GT-R while in motion, Nissan engineers lowered the vehicle's center of gravity in accordance with the deflection of the suspension bushings and tires. The specifications of the shock absorbers and front stabilizer have also been modified.

Cam bolts have been installed on the front suspension to improve camber accuracy and maintainability of alignment settings.

The torque from the driveshaft to the hub bearings was increased to improve reliability in high-stress situations, such as competition (track) driving.

Reinforcements were added at two locations in the dash panel bar and instrument panel member, resulting in improved suspension performance and increased body rigidity

Black Edition: An attractive red-and-black color combination steering wheel increases the car's sporty flair.

Premier Edition: A new two-tone interior color of Amber Red and Black adds style to the interior as option for fashionable interior package. Hand-stitched genuine Semiarinin leather front seats have been added
