• AutoWeek releases more images of Nissan GT-R

  Filed under: Coupes , Sports/GTs , Japan , Tokyo Motor Show , Nissan That sound you hear are cracks forming in an embargo that's about to break wide open. Though Nissan had planned to officially unveil the GT-R at next week's Tokyo Motor Show, today's gaffe by Motor Trend in which an image of the car on its December cover was accidentally released has given other outlets reason enough to spill the beans and enjoy the ensuing onslaught of traffic. First up is AutoWeek , which has just published 11 new official images from Nissan shots taken at a media event a while back in Japan. While most are of the interior or details of the exterior, AW did include two clear shots of the entire exterior so we can more easily analyze the design.

According to MT's headline, the GT-R boasts a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds, an 11.7-second quarter mile, a 192 mph top speed, and a sub-$80K price. Motor Authority had no additional info, but we expect to see that explode onto the web in the immediate future as other outlets sitting on long-lead info react to the Motor Trend release.

As you know already, we'll be in Japan next week to see the big reveal in person. We're curious...
