GT-R Track Pack makes Nissan's supercar even more hardcore

GT-R Track Pack makes Nissan's supercar even more hardcore In order to meet the demands of GT-R owners, Nissan has developed a special ''Track Pack'' that will boost the supercar's price to £84,450 (about $135,000 CA), making it even more exclusive than it already is.

From a design standpoint, the custom six-spoke RAYS alloy wheels with gloss black centres not only look good, but they also shave 10 kg off the standard 2012 GT-R's weight. Suspension settings have been modified as well in order to improve track performance.

Other changes were made to the interior. The ridiculously tight rear seats are gone, while a pair of new track-ready sports seats can be found up front. They're covered in what is referred to as ''magic cloth,'' a high-friction fabric that allows occupants to ''stick'' to the seats during hard cornering and braking.

The GT-R Track Pack also includes an enhanced Bose audio system.

In terms of performance, look for the same 550-hp twin-turbo engine that propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds.

Now, the bad news: The GT-R Track Pack is only available in the UK and Japan.
