American tuning workshop Hennessey Performance is renowned for its work with the Dodge Viper, but the firm has also reworked the formidable Nissan GT-R in the past--taking it beyond supercar performance and up into the hypercar arena. The Texas-based tuner currently offers several levels of tune...

The refreshed 2012 Nissan GT-R made a surprise debut at the Paris Auto Show back in September, but the press preview of the LA show this week marks the new flagship super-coupe's North American debut.
