The Nissan GT-R has been given a minor change for the 2012 model year and comes with an additional 20hp thanks to modifications to the engine, intercooler and exhaust system.

Maximum power is now claimed at 530hp at 6,400rpm while maximum torque is up from 612Nm from 3,200-6,400rpm to 632Nm from 3,200-5,800rpm.

The engine improvement also leads to lower fuel consumption, down from 12km/l to 11.8km/l. The gearshift is also smoother and quieter whole ceramic brakes are offered in certain models.

The interior lighting system is now blue like the gear position indicator while the rearview camera is a new feature across the range. The audio system can also be upgraded to a high-end BOSE system.
