The 2013 Nissan GT-R arrives at the 2011 LA Auto Show

The key changes to the 2013 Nissan GT-R are under the skin of the sleek Japanese supercar, beginning under the hood. The twin turbocharged 3.8L V6 of the 2013 GT-R has been fitted with a new, more efficient air intake system including an enlarged intake duct for the intercooler. In addition to reducing engine emissions, the changes made to the 2013 GT-R’s V6 engine increased the output from 530 horsepower and 448lb-ft of torque to 545 horsepower and 463lb-ft of torque.


"The 2013 Nissan GT-R once again sends a bold statement that it remains on the leading edge of international sports car design, technology and performance," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. "It's our desire to keep pushing the envelope, to never settle for second best or second place – a philosophy that makes Nissan GT-R one of the most coveted and affordable supercars in the world today."

Nissan Juke-R

The monster Nissan developed by adding some of the best features found on their GT-R supercar to the cute little Juke crossover has finally come alive -- and the Japanese automaker made sure we knew all about it by posting a video on YouTube.


In case you've been living under a rock for the past couple of months, the Nissan Juke-R borrows from the GT-R its 3.8L twin-turbo V6 that unleashes 480 ponies through a 6-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel drive system.

A sport-tuned suspension, lower ride height, ultra-lightweight 20'' RAYS alloy wheels, full body kit, two-piece spoiler, pentagon-shaped dual tailpipes, and sinister charcoal body paint significantly transform the Juke's exterior.

Inside, a roll cage, sport steering wheel and pedals, 7'' touchscreen, and dual race seats complete the modern Godzilla-esque picture.

Jaguar C-X16

You know you've built a gorgeous product when the eye candy designed to stand next to your car stands off to the side to admire it. Such is the Jaguar C-X16, seen here in its new white-as-uncut-cut-cocaine paint job.


Slapping a fresh coat of paint on a concept car is not usually enough to be worthy of our attention, but the C-X16 is no usual concept car. It's a gorgeous manifestation of everything we want a new Jaguar to be.
