The new wheels are neat.

Looks good. Those hyper white LEDs are the next coolest thing. Every new Benz, Porsche and other high end cars have them.

Thanks for posting. Any power info? HP/tq?

atleast 500 is confirmed but the actual # is probably 520

rear downforce is increased 10% the drag is down to .26 now and those wheels are 26 total lbs lighter!

Good solid improvements for the mid cycle refresh, I'm crossing my fingers for around 520 to 530hp.

Really cool that they improved the aero so much. I like the weight savings from the new wheels but I'll reserve judgement on the styling until I see them in person, so far, not a fan.

So, are you getting one for sure now? I hope nissan doesn't move the price point up again with the '12.

ps--not digging the location of the leds either, I know it's a better location than the 09-11's, but I like the way those look better.

yea probably putting mine up for sale in october... hoping this one arrives februaryish..... getting the new black ( its like a metal flake but not glittery like magnetic black) with the hyper black wheels( although they look silver in the pics) probably getting a base model this time if they offer it here in the US.... i know you cant covert yen to dollars and get an accurate idea of price as a base is 100K in japan and premium is over 110K.... but it looks like if they do a base model here it will be called a "pure" and will be maybe $8-900 over what a 2010 base was so maybe 82K? a premium will be maybe 2500 more so 88ish? it could be a little more than that

going to try 3 local dealers here but will most likely have to buy out of state from contact or vendor dealer im guessing to get the price i want

Yeah, I read on nagtroc that you were going to go with the base model if possible this time. Makes sense if you don't care about heated seats and Bose stereo. I think there's a psychological barrier to pricing the GTR over 90k in the US. I think nissan will keep the price just under that number. I thought the base was out for the us though and only premiums were coming, or was that just a 2011 thing?

I guess Nissan's learned their lesson regarding production numbers after so many 09's and 10's lingered on the lots due to the economy. What do you expect, maybe around 500 per year or so from now on? That seems like a reasonable #.

nice weight savings on the wheels...though I like them better off the car than I do on the car. Maybe later pictures will change my mind
