Leaks indicate the 2012 Nissan GT-R's getting slightly honed — lighter forged wheels, improved aerodynamics, LED running lights, new colors, small interior upgrades, and apparently a bump in power.

The only sure number we know is the GT-R's coefficient of drag (Cd) will drop from 0.272 to 0.268. Combined with a rear downforce improvement of 10% thanks to a redesigned rear diffuser and you've got a slicker Sony-like supercar. Unfortunately, it still looks like a beat-up bag of hammers.
