Nissan just released all the details regarding its GT-R supercar for 2013, and all the numbers are higher. As part of the effort to keep up with the Joneses of the supercar world, power goes up; but so does price. Starting with power, there are 30 more horses under the hood, which brings the grand total to 545 horsepower and 463 pound-feet of torque (up from 448 pound-feet). It's worth noting these new power numbers are even slightly higher than when Nissan officially revealed the 2013 GT-R back at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. All that power combined with the GT-R's sophisticated all-wheel...

The 2013 Veloster Turbo is promising a lot more driving enjoyment to match what's already a very exciting package. Under the hood is a new turbocharged version of the company's 'Gamma' 1.6-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder engine—that's the same engine that's in the Veloster and Accent—but here it's fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and pumps out 201 horsepower, along with a lot more torque that should be accessible at much lower revs. That should not only make the Veloster a blast to drive, but it should remedy the lack of low-rev torque that we've found in the non-turbo...
