First Details of 2013 GT-R emerge

Posted By: MC @ 25 September 2011 - 05:08 PM


This past weekend at the Nurburging Nissan held a European Press Event to debut the MY2012 ( 2013 US spec) GT-R.

Just 1 year the comprehensive updates of the DBA-R35, the GTR continues its evolution. Details from the event are still being gathered and we will keep you posted, but here is what is currently know:


- The 2013 GTR will once again feature a substantial gain in HP on par with the current increase from last years model. The final number will be announced at the car's launch, but it was shown at the event to be at least 40hp so expect 570+ HP. In addtion to increased boost, revisions to the intake and exhaust have been made.
- Visually the 2013 remains the same with no additional color options
- Suspension and Transmission logic have been tweaked
- Under body has been changed to improve aero and cooling
- Co2 emissions have once again been lowered
- Premium Black Edition and Egoist will be offered worldwide
- Official Ring Time Attack attempt is expected mid October
- The R35 life cycle is expected to continue for 2 additional model years
- In addition to these models a "Track Edition" will be available as RHD only to markets outside the US. This GTR is the one we reported on earlier this week with carbon parts inspired by Nissan Test Driver Toshio Suzuki's GTR tuning brand "Nordring ". It also features Dunlop Race slicks aswell as Volk Racing wheels....

With the Yen at all time highs against the pound and the dollar, expect another reasonable price hike to warrant the tweaks and dilute previous MYs some more!

On an aside, was there any truth behind the rumour that when the GTR was released Nissan were selling the car at a loss?

I expect there will be a similar 10K price hike

Wonder if they will be doing discounts on 2011 cars before the new 2012 arrives like they did with the 2010 before the 2011 arrived

Discounts what discounts, like trying to get blood from a stone

I started reading the first post, disappointed that those people invited to this prestigious event under a committment not to unveil anything until a date in November when we are all allowed to. The I read the bullet points and realised how wrong some of it was!
I'm glad to say the six invitations the GTROC received have already proved we at least can abide by our promise. I guess the next conversation then is to make sure that only the GTROC is invited in future

Now that is just plain teasing if you said A you should say B as well.
Can't wait until I get some real info on the car I have ordered but I guess I'll have to wait another 2 months then

Sorry but as the only Officially recognised club we made a committment to keep information confidential. And perhaps that's the reason why we are the only one that is backed fully by Nissan! If you want to read more about the facts and how wrong people are there are a few forums out there for that. But if you want the correct information then it will be released as agreed between us and Nissan

Or drive to the Capricorn test building in Muespath, Nurburg and knock the door.

I am very sure you will be made very welcome and shown the car that everyone is talking about. Thats if your in a GTR.

Whilst i understand the secrecy, I also understand the excitement. The excitement and passion there is infectious.

Roll on official information.

Cheers

Hear hear! Two years in a row and not a single leak.
