Nis­san will show­case its trans­porter and hos­pi­tal­ity cars used dur­ing it’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in the domes­tic rac­ing series, recre­at­ing the excit­ing atmos­phere of the race cir­cuit. Included in this dis­play is Nissan’s range of stan­dard road cars styl­ized with the lat­est gen­uine aero body-​​kits that com­pli­ments the vehi­cles pure form. Autech will show its exper­tise in cus­tom cars with its fun and relax­ing Rider Series while NISMO will be pre­sent­ing its NISMO Club Sports Pack­age Cus­tom, the 2010 Nis­san GT-​​R equipped with the newly-​​developed “NISMO Data Log­ger Kit” and the XANAVI NISMO GT-​​R race­car that com­peted in the 2008 SUPER GT series.

Accord­ing to Auto­blog the revised 2012 Nis­san GT-​​R is expected to develop in excess of 500HP and 450 pound-​​feet of torque in a bid to keep the newly revamped Porsche 911 Turbo at bay. Appar­ently the revised model has been seen around the ‘Ring recently, no doubt in order to lower the GT-R’s infa­mous lap time of 7:26.

Not much more is known at this stage, but it’s safe to say the VR38DETT Twin Turbo V6 will remain the work­horse, and gain a few tun­ing changes. Expect retuned sus­pen­sion, larger brakes, new dif­fusers and rear wing con­fig­u­ra­tion and minor aerokit changes.

Nissan has hit a major home run with its latest Skyline, known as the GT-R here in the States. In fact, the car was knocked so far out of the park that it seems an obvious choice for anyone’s Car of the Year. Nissan’s latest supercar boasts enough performance to take on the best from the rest of the world regardless of price, making it an amazing value despite costing upwards of $80,000. As such, the new GT-R has been awarded the Car of the Year trophy from Automobile Mag. Who are we to argue?
