2012 Nissan GT-R Facelift
In the aftermath of the earthquake in Japan, carmakers are assessing just how much their operations are affected. Shipments of the 2012 Nissan GT-R to the US have encountered delays; however, the full impact is still being assessed. According to an InsideLine report, Nissan North America has a "sufficient supply" of the facelifted model already in the country, but it declined to give an exact number. David Reuter, Nissan North America vice president of corporate communications, would only say that it has a “comfortable amount.”
Nissan has six facilities in Japan that were damaged due to the earthquake. One of those is the Japanese Tochigi Plant, where the GT-R is built.
Operations at this facility have been suspended until this Friday. In a statement, Nissan said that there may be delays in the shipment of some Infiniti models and Nissan GT-R and 370Z to the U.S. and Canada.
But he pointed out that a batch of LEAFs electric cars were able to depart from Japan before the earthquake struck. [via AutoGuide]
