The new GT-R features a raft of improvements. The 3.8-liter twin-tutiosrbo V6 now pumps out 545HP (550PS) and 463 lb-ft (627 Nm) of torque and sports high-output injectors, a new relief valve for the turbocharger bypass and a new oil pan baffle.
The chassis has gained reinforcements to the dash panel bar and instrument member panel to increase rigidity. The dampers, springs and front anti-roll bars have been revised to offer better stability at high speeds and the driveshafts have been reinforced for improved reliability.
As a result, the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time has dropped by 0.1 seconds, to just 2.7, and according to Nissan, the 2013 GT-R is capable oflapping the Nordschleife in7:18.6compared to the 7:21.0 time of its predecessor.

This footage was reportedly shot during some of sort of demonstration by the Slovakian Police force, but one that did not go exactly as planned – and that’s probably a huge understatement.
In the staged scene, Slovakian cops driving a Kia Cee’d hatchback and a Nissan X-Trail were chasing a criminal in an old Skoda Favorit. They were supposed to stop in an orderly fashion and sprint out to capture the offender, but instead, the X-Trail crashed into the Cee’d!
To their credit, the police officers continued the show as if nothing happened, though, it looks like the driver will have some explaining to do…
