The Nissan GT-R isn't an old car, and we don't have many complaints about Godzilla's mannerisms, but nonetheless, some small, yet crucial, tweaks have been made to the GT-R for the 2010 model year.

Visually, there's nothing terribly new to speak of, save the inclusion of rear diffuser cooling ducts which now come standard across the GT-R range. On top of that, the rear suspension brushings have been stiffened slightly, and the front springs and shocks have been tweaked, as well. While this might not seem like much, hardcore GT-R drivers will definitely notice these improvements on the track.

Japanese citizens can head to dealerships on December 7th to pick up their new GT-Rs. As for us, we'll have to wait until next spring. Click through the post for the full details.

Lotus will unveil a limited-production version of the Lotus Exige, called the Exige Scura (Exige Stealth in Japan), at the Tokyo Motor show later this week. The matte black, carbon fiber-themed Exige receives performance enhancements while shedding weight to make this already light and potent Exige S even more formidable.

The 256-horsepower, 1.8-liter supercharged engine (the same one in the Exige Cup 260) propels the Exige Scura from 0-62 in 4.1 seconds, then on to a top speed of about 152 miles per hour. To keep it on the ground, its aerodynamic package, made extensively of carbon fiber for low weight, providing almost 95 pounds of downforce at 100 miles per hour.

What makes the Lotus Exige Scura truly special are its evil paint job, and the fact that it is limited to only 35 units globally. Check the warranty on the paint job before you buy, though.

See it in the gallery above. The official press release follows.

Our spy photographer sent over some shots of a hotted-up version of a BMW M3 on the Nürburgring. Could it be a production version of the GT4 racecar?

From the photos, we can see the huge rear wing and the lower lip in front. The car also looks lower to the ground. We can assume it has lost some weight, and has been fitted with some of performance racing parts. It looks right at home on the 'Ring.

See it in the gallery above, or scroll down for the photographer’s notes.

The Volkswagen Tiguan, following the lead of other VWs, appears to be undergoing a facelift. It’s a bit different than what we’ve seen on other Volkswagens, though.

The new Tiguan gets a new bumper and air intakes, a new grille, headlights, and LED running lights.

Other than that, we don’t see any other visible changes yet, but there’s still plenty of time before the new Tiguan makes its debut in Geneva next year.
