Nissan has announced the release of the 2013 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, which confrorms to FIA GT3 regulations. The 2013 model, follow the 2012 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3, which debuted in March in which it outperformed the competition at this year's SUPER GT series (GT 300 class), Super Taikyu (GT3 class), British GT Championship and GT Cup.

The 2013 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 builds upon the 2012 model thanks to all the data brought back from these races, in addition to the dyno, track tests, and customer feedback, to enhance its competitiveness and performance.

The 2013 model's engine gets new camshaft timing and the moving parts of the engine were reinforced to guarantee durability.Several modifications were made to enhance aerodynamics: canards were added to the front and the front fender louvers were enlarged. The positioning of the rear wing was optimized. These changes improve aerodynamic balance between front and rear, and increased downforce, which enhanced overall aerodynamic performance.

It's 3.8L V6 generates 542 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque.
I would LOVE a ride in one of these... I know it would be rough because it's made for the track, but damn I bet it's fun!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Eh? A lot of the racing versions of the GT-R were RWD, I think it's a fair question.

And it seems it is RWD...

All the street versions are AWD. The RWD race cars are just that: race cars

The R32's were, but they won way too many races so they changed the rules to ban them. RWD was one of the ways they got back in.
