Nissan reportedly held a European press event at the Nürburgring where the company unveiled some of its plans for the next-generation supercar. Thanks to new engine mapping, a revised intake and exhaust, the 2013 Nissan GT-R may produce as much as 570 horsepower – around 40 more ponies than the current variant. In addition, the transmission and suspension mapping will also receive minor adjustments.

Underneath, the vehicle will likely sport new aero tweaks for better cooling and efficiency, and the report suggests that the 2013 model will be even cleaner than its predecessors, emissions-wise. Don't expect any aesthetic adjustments, however. The model is expected to sally forth with no new color options or visual changes, though both the Premium Black and Egoist editions are anticipated to be available worldwide.

and that for 1/9 of their price, and about 20/30k$ more than a M3.

They should do it.

They need a Halo car in Japan.

The GT-R already smacks around the competition and more. I think it's safe to say it's already the Japanese Halo Car apart from the LF-A.

Ya I was going to say this^^^ I have also said in other threads that maybe other car companies will start to charge less for their supercars...

The cars performance does amaze me. But I feel like supercars should all stay where they are priced instead of becoming cheaper. I don't think the gtr has styling to be priced like the big boys. My opinion is that it's big looking and ugly.

I agree. They do look ugly. Too boxy. They should borrow some BMW designers to put some more curves and lines in that thing. Then again, it was built to be a track car, not some luxury vehicle that you can still take to the track.

First batch of spy shots.

Looks very mean. Hope the 570 hp figure is real. Would be ballistic!

The 2013 Nissan GT-R will reportedly pack a host of suspension tweaks in addition to 40 more horsepower than the current model, but will all the changes add up to an appreciable different in performance?

Nissan’s Chief Vehicle Engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno, also known as the father of the GT-R, seems to think so. He revealed that the latest iteration of “Godzilla” averages 3.1 – 4.9 mph faster through every corner of the famous (or infamous) Nürburgring Nordschleife, while it can also reach 183.9 mph on the final straightaway.

Mizuno estimated that the improvements are enough to cut “at least” 7-8 seconds off the 7:24 lap time of the current GT-R, meaning the car could come close to the unofficial record of 7:12 held by the Dodge Viper ACR.

Look for the 2013 GT-R to make its world debut next week with a newly available Track Pack that will bring a Spec-V style interior, racing seats, upgraded brakes and a sport exhaust system. A Club Track Edition may debut shortly thereafter with a roll-cage, Bilstein racing shocks and meatier tires.
