Nissan might unveil the 2011 GT-R Spec-V (Victory Specification) at the Paris Motor Show, and go on sale in December. In North America, be prepared to wait a couple model years for the performance Spec V, which will be lighter, faster, and pricier than the conventional sports car.

The Spec-V will feature heavy use of carbon fiber helping to reduce the weight with 220 - 330 pounds. The Spec V has a new front splitter and tweaked rear spoiler. A modified suspension sits in between, and the car has distinctive spoke wheels.

For the Spec-V, the engine will be tweaked to pump out horsepower somewhere in the 512 to 550 range.
