Probably not wanting to fall behind their rivals from Toyota – which presented the amazing Lexus LFA – the guys form Nissan came to the Tokyo Motor Show with an improved GT-R. Yes, it’s hard to believe that the GT-R needed improvement, but since it was first launched in December 2007, the Japanese continuously revised it.

There’s no big deal when you observe the revised GT-R from the outside – except for the rear diffuser cooling ducts, previously available only with the SpecV model – the real fun beginning when talking about technical improvements. Of course, the JDM buyers will be the first to enjoy this enhanced version of the GT-R, but I’ll tell you what are the changes anyway: a new suspension, new higher-flow cats to the exhaust system and a new navigation system that includes iPod connectivity.

The suspension of the Nissan GT-R was enhanced for better ride comfort by increasing the “accuracy” of the front shocks and by stiffening the rear suspension radius rod bushings. Another change Nissan brought for GT-R regards the SpecV model which will wear Dunlop tires as stock – Bridgestone tires still available by request.

The revised Nissan GT-R will be available for the Japanese market starting December 7, the other enthusiasts waiting until Spring to get their hands on the new higher-performance model.
