The reviews and tests for the 2012 Nissan GT-R keep rolling in. Deliveries of the 2012(US) GT-R have started in Europe, but we have not heard of any US deliveries. The US deliverers, rumored to start on or about Feburary 3rd, seem to be delayed due to a back up camera issue. There is no confirmed date on deliveries as of today.
The numbers. Everyone wants to know the numbers. 2.9 , 11.2@122 , 101 feet , 1.05 . What does that mean in real life? Its faster than the 2009-2011 car. The as tested weight is even a little lighter, although those numbers are always a little suspect to me.
