Freshened Nissan GT-R gets more power

The mid-life refresh of the storming Nissan GT-R will feature a power increases as well as slightly updated styling and new interior trim options.

Nissan is keeping details of the extra power to itself, although rumors imply it might grow to more than 500 hp. The design tweaks are intended to flow more cooling air into the engine bay, which suggests the power might rise substantially.

The aerodynamics are also improved with a new front air dam, rear bumper and diffuser.

The nose of the GT-R now looks much higher quality with well-finished carbon-fiber inserts in the grille, new brake-cooling ducts and LED daylight running lights.
