Nissan GT-R II by Vivid Racing

The tuners at Vivid Racing have prepared an upgrade program for the Nissan GT-R that brings a power boost and some other mechanical changes. The first thing that they did is lower the suspension of the supercar by installing a KW Variant 3 coilover setup and then they installed a fresh new set of 3-piece 21-inch Niche alloy wheels with tinted brushed centers and a gloss black lip, wrapped around in Pirelli PZero performance rubbers.
The powerful V6 twin-turbo 545 hp (406 kW / 553 PS) engine of the Nissan GT-R has received an ECU tune courtesy of Cobb Accessport that increases the power by 60 hp for a total of 605 hp (451 kW  / 613 PS), while the titanium catback exhaust comes from Agency Power and features quad tips and a lightweight design, with the muffler section weighing just 15 lbs (7 kg).
Check out the mega gallery to see all the work put into by Vivid Racing for the Nissan GT-R.

2012 Nissan GTR P600 PKG by Switzer

The latest tuning program for the Nissan GT-R comes from Switzer Performance as this week they've unveiled the P600 PKG that increases the output of the engine from the standard 545 hp to 600 hp. To gain the extra power, the tuners had to install their own high-flow filters, a free-flowing SS90 exhaust and update the ECU software. That new exhaust system also makes the powerful twin-turbo V6 3.8-liter engine sound better. Thanks to these hardware modifications, the 2012 Nissan GT-R P600 PKG by Switzer Performance can do the 0-62 mph sprint in only 2.6 seconds. There aren't any styling changes to the GT-R but at least the car now rides on a fresh new set of Switzer Signature series lightweight forged aluminum wheels wrapped around in Michelin Pilot Supersport tires that according to the tuner improve the vehicle's handling capabilities and also provide a better ride quality. All these goodies are priced at $12,990.

Police chase in Russa ends better than you may think

I have a hard time believing that all of the police in Russia are this nice, even the police in the U.S. wouldn't end a chase this way.  There are some rumored thoughts of what just might be going on here.  The first is that this guy is an undercover cop, I mean the the license plate T-KILLAH it really makes you wonder the legitimacy.  Second maybe this guy bribes the police, I mean it is Russia isn't it?  Finally, perhaps this guy is taking advantage of wonderful diplomatic immunity.  Whatever the case maybe, it must sure be nice to drive like this and get off so easy.

Nissan GT-R by BenSopra


Japanese tuner BenSopra has its own GT-R variant under development. BenSopra is currently working on the body kit for the GT-R which is previewed in the photos published here. The tuner says its GT-R will feature around 1000 PS (735.5 kW) and will be introduced at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon this coming January. BenSopra states on its website that the car will then go on sale.
We await further details on how exactly BenSopra will wrench almost double the output from the GT-R's twin-turbo 3.8 liter V6.
