Speeders beware, as you probably won't be able to outrun this 2012 Nissan GT-R turned undercover police car by the EVI Corporation. It features "a full range of blue and red flashers as well as the standard strobe treatment for both the headlights and taillights." Videos after the break.

According to the word kicking around the web, this GT-R showed up at EVI with a mere 13 miles on the clock, meaning its as fresh as a fallen snow.

No matter how fast you think your car is, stupid antics like trying to pass someone on a narrow street should be left for the racetrack, otherwise accidents like the one you're about to see could happen (or worse). Simply put, this Nissan GTR driver was trying to overtake a car, when suddenly, a wheel fell off, causing it to crash into a row of parked cars on the streets of Moscow. Videos after the break.

Similar the standard model, the 2012 Nissan GTR Black Edition "packs the same 530hp but adds red-trimmed Recaro seats, red and black interior, and different wheels." Videos after the break. Click here for the first picture in gallery.

Emerging after an extensive list of focused upgrades and refinements, the sports car demonstrates poise, confidence, authority and continues to show no signs of fear. We'd go so far as to argue the GT-R finally possesses something that it lacked in the past: character.

Nissan revealed their revamped 2012 GT-R at the LA Auto Show today. Upgrades include "increased boost from the twin turbos packed into the six combustion chambers along with larger inlet and exhaust pipes." These modifications enable the car to hit 60mph in under 3-seconds. Pricing will start at $89,950 and go up to $95,100 for the Premium and Black editions. Video after the break.

All models get new and improved Rays wheels, and a new Black Edition sees darkened six-spoke affairs along with red-trimmed Recaro seats that should look pretty darn nice with the new across-the-range carbon interior highlights.

These images are purportedly of Nissan's 2012 GT-R, which features "a revised front fascia complete with new (and sure to be controversial) LED driving lights frenched into new canards at either corner of the front bumper, lowering the car's coefficient of drag from 0.272 to 0.268."

There's also a new rear diffuser that adds 10 percent more downforce at the business end and a set of forged wheels from Rays cut 6.6 pounds of unsprung weight at each corner for a total loss of over 26 pounds.

Germany-based AVUS Performance unveils their revamped Nissan GT-R, called the Batmobil Reloaded. Limited to just 480-units worldwide, this model boasts a "new modified ECU and special exhaust pipe, which helps the GT-R up to an impressive 580bhp and 700 Nm of torque."

Visually you can only imagine the power the GT-R has. The matte black, the lowering via coilovers (stock adjustments for the dampers will be kept) and the black painted 20" wheels combined with wheel spacers sum up the package.

Thanks to Germany's Autobahn having no set speed limit, the Japanese driver of this Nissan GT-R was able to have some fun with a Porsche 997 Turbo. Continue reading to watch the chase.

In this Autocar showdown, "Andrew Frankel and Jamie Corstorphine compare the new Ford Focus RS with Nissan's GT-R." While the Ford Focus RS may be the underdog, it most certainly holds its own, as you'll see after the break.

EVO Magazine wanted to see just how much faster the Bugatti Veyron is on the drag strip, compared to the Nissan GT-R. Let's just say that it wasn't even a contest for the former. Video after the break.

The result? The Veyron literally leaves the GT-R eating dust. Epic.

While Nissan may not have bested the ZR1's 7:26.4, the GT-R did however manage to achieve a blistering 7:26.7 at Nordschleife - test driver Toshio Suzuki piloted the 2010 GT-R. Video after the break.

He accomplished his goal - but in the grand scheme of things, who cares if he didn't beat the competition?
