Accordingly, the manufacturer has modified the front end along with strengthening the dashboard support area and the forward suspension. The GTR is said to be 3% more efficient than the earlier models. Yesterday, Nissan Motors offered up the full information on the Japanese version of the 2011 Nissan GT-R. Already one of the fastest cars in the world, the Nissan sports cars coupe receives a variety of improvements for 2011 (at least in the Japanese market) to help distance itself from the competition.
There are only subtle refinements made to the exterior of the latest Nissan GT-R supercar and while these changes might be hard to notice in traffic, the physical upgrades to the 2011 model year GT-R offer a 10% improvement in downforce and a decrease in drag. There is also a slightly refined interior with a new instrument panel and carbon fiber trim here and there but the big news is what is under the hood.

For 2012, Nissan GT-R features improved engine output and torque, greater fuel efficiency, revised handling, a refreshed exterior with improved aerodynamics, revised interior treatment and new wheels and tires. The large number of enhancements for the new model year is part of the continuous advancement of the GT-R design, technology and performance since its debut.
Developed under the theme of offering the "world's best multi-performance and responsive driving pleasure," every area of the Nissan GT-R has been carefully rethought or retuned for 2012. The changes range from greater body stability and strength and improved aerodynamics performance to a sportier interior and enhanced performance.
The latest version of the potent Nissan GT-R goes on sale at select Nissan dealers in the United States and Canada early in the 2011 calendar year. Full details on the North American version of the Nissan GT-R will be available at the Los Angeles show in November.
Though exact specifications have yet to be released for the U.S. cars, horsepower and torque figures have been revealed for Japan market cars.  The updated 2012 Nissan Sport Cars GT-R (Japan Specs) Set For North American will be powered by the same twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 offered in the current GT-R. However, the turbo's boost pressure has been increased, the intake and exhaust systems have been opened up to permit freer breathing, and the ECU has been tweaked to take advantage of these changes.

The 2012 in the US market Nissan GT-R is powered by the same twin turbocharged 3.8L V6 that was offered in the current GT-R, an enlarged charge air intake pipe and an enlarged exhaust system combined with a recalibration of the car’s ECU, the 2011 GT-R will offer 523 horsepower and 451lb-ft of torque. This is a fair improvement over the output of the current models 485hp/434tq and this extra power could help the mighty GT-R move up the list of the fastest cars in the world (based on testing done at the famed Nürburgring in Germany). The 2011 Nissan GT-R will be the 2012 Nissan GT-R when it hits US shores next year.

Stealth Police Interceptor

Ford will be unveiling a stealthy concept version of its new Police Interceptor sedan at this month’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show, which takes place in Las Vegas.







Designer Melvin Betancourt set out to give the Taurus-based car a sinister look, while at the same time masking its law enforcement purpose. Drawing inspiration from the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird strategic reconnaissance aircraft, the car is - naturally - finished in solid black. Smoked taillights and tinted glass complete the look.





The body has been lowered by an inch, and the concept Interceptor rides on 22” alloys with glossy black centres and chrome rims. Other modifications include a thicker mesh grille and a boot lid spoiler that both conceal LED emergency lights.





On the inside the theme continues, and the headlining and B-pillar covers are finished in black. The centre console has also been redesigned so that police equipment, such as the radio and computer terminal, is hidden away until it’s needed. Weapons can be unobtrusively stored in the glove box.





Deliveries of the production Police Interceptor sedan and the Explorer-based utility version are due to start late next year, which is when assembly of the Crown Victoria stops.
