The stuff you know: next year’s Nissan GT-R will pack 530bhp (up from 476bhp), 451lb ft of torque, new suspension, more downforce and lighter alloys.

The stuff you don’t know: 0-62mph, 0-100mph, top speed…

Basically, all the stuff you blather on about to your mates after consuming one-too-many Stellas. A Japanese magazine, totally unaware of your beer habit but aware of your necessity to spout out benchmark acceleration times has tested the GT-R from 0-62mph.

Wow.
