Nissan GT-R – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWe’re beginning to hear the first rumblings about the next round of updates to the Nissan GT-R<\/a>, and if the rumors are to be believed, Nissan’s<\/a> goal of keeping pace with the refreshed Porsche 911 Turbo<\/a> (and its S sibling<\/a>) will continue through the 2012 model year.<\/p>\n

As with its German counterpart, the R35 is expected to undergo a host of evolutionary changes, including some reworked aero bits, suspension and brake upgrades, and a retuned 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that’s likely to output over 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.<\/p>\n

The exterior updates will likely be limited to a new front splitter, rear diffuser and a revised wing, all in an effort to increase downforce and drop lap times. And about those lap times…<\/p>\n

We’ve heard from our sources on the ground in Germany that the revised GT-R underwent a new round of testing at the Nurburgring last month and that the newly estimated lap times were (of course) below the original GT-R’s 7:26 run. How low? We’re hoping to find out when it arrives early next year.<\/p>\n
