The 2012 Nissan GT-R

Blistering fast, that’s the 2012 Nissan GT-R features while making 0-60mph for 2.9 seconds. The Japanese automaker hold the secrecy of GT-R’s top speed when the company revealed the super sports car to North American at 2010 LA Auto Show. And to highlight the capable speed of the GT-R, Nissan holds a media test ride at Sendai Hi-Land Race Way for two days, and in both days the new GT records 3.0 seconds of superb speed. Stunning at 60 mph world, that translates to 2.9 seconds.

Despite the delay, Nissan North America tells Inside Line that it has a "sufficient supply" of 2012 GT-Rs already in the U.S. But it would not reveal the precise number. "We have a comfortable amount," said David Reuter, Nissan North America vice president of corporate communications, in a phone conversation on Monday with Inside Line. He said he did not know if any GT-Rs were damaged in the disaster.

"We do not have information on that," he said.

Nissan's Tochigi Plant, where the GT-R is built, is one of six Nissan facilities in Japan that have reported some damage to buildings or equipment in the aftermath of Friday's earthquake. Operations at that plant have been suspended until this Friday.

Reuter also said that he did not "anticipate any changes to our plans" for the 2011 New York Auto Show next month because of the earthquake. But he added: "The situation continues to develop."

In a statement on Monday, the automaker said "some Infiniti models and Nissan GT-R and 370Z may experience delays in shipment to the U.S. and Canada, with full impact still being assessed."

Nissan begun selling the 2012 GT-R in the U.S. a few weeks ago.

Put more simply in actual dollars and cents, that will cost you $89,950. For those u

naware, that's the sum Nissan is asking for its updated 2012 GT-R, which recently made its live A

merican debut at the 2010 LA Auto Show. The Japanese automaker has kindly provided a d

igital readout from an electronic measurement device from Digitek to silence the doubters (above). As you can clearly squint and see, the GT-R hit 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds and 100 kilometers per hour (62 m

ph) in exactly three seconds.
