New Gtr Sightings :d

[scathing]

Yes its called the Nissan GT-R, but cant you see the inheritance it gets from all the skylines?

Shouldn't you be calling it a Prince then?

I wouldn't want it to be a skyline anyways, the V35/36 already ruined skylines, they never should have made them.

Non GT-R Skyline coupes have always been sporty grand tourers (as opposed to the more luxury ones like the Soarer). The V35 still does an admirable job of it. Its a lot more luxury than older Skylines, but its no more boaty (considering the era we live in, and all the safety / emissions requirements) than its R3x predecessors. It still handles very well in its class.

looks like a DB9

[someonestolecc]

I like it.

Pity there's no manual. I know it's less efficient and all that but I like the feel of shifting gears/clutching for myself.

gotta do what you gotta do to beat the competition *cough* 911 turbo *cough* - you never know, the new Audi R8 is available in both, could be the same for the GTR.

If it makes it quicker than a 911 Turbo, i don't care what it's got

[gts-4 dreamer]

awd dsg with very quick shift and lack of gear change logic unless in "auto" mode... down for that!

wonder if it will be remotely affordable or so expensive you will have to wait for over 10-20 years to afford it.

911 turbo teritory...OUCH@!

[NISMO]

Man, haven't been this excited since i first heard my car go psssssshhhhewww! (blow off valve in case i spelt it wrong :-)

as a Skyline fan, I enjoyed the fact that previous GTR's could hold their own against much more expensive exotics, and the fact that so far the idications are that the GTR will do this again, has put a big smile on my face.

have you ever driven a 350z. Before you say silly comments like the v35 ruined skylines you should they are an incredible engine, sooo much torque, so smooth, and yet so economical, my mums 350z gets 10.5l/100km AROUND TOWN, sure she drives conservatively but no matter how you drive your RB sereis you aint ever going to get that low.

Cant wait for the driveline info to come out.....

Dude, I got 11.99 on the highway once.

[SS8_Gohan]

this car will be well below $200k, i'm guessing around $175-180K

as i've said all along, 911 Turbo beater for half the price

(911 turbo bout $315K-$330K)

?

If I shut down cylinders 4-6 on the highway via consult does that mean I'll get charade style efficiency?

What does the 997 Turbo lap the Nur in?

The C6 is equal with the 997 GT3 and thats <1/2 the price too.

Z06. The C6 is a complete barge.

Nurburgring track times. Its a Wiki so I don't know how accurate it is, but the Z06 time sounds about what I've heard quoted elsewhere.

I got that low.. I got 616km to a tank. So ner

[SS8_Gohan]

man, so excited! sounds like they got the performance right (quicker than a 911 turbo) but just hope they can keep the price competitive.

my brother works for BMW (marketing) and he's like "meh, it's a Nissan" (stupid closed minded fool) and i keep telling him, it will be better than ANYTHING bmw has in the performance market, and will be cheaper if not the same price as the new M3 (V8) but the M3 won't be able to touch this car. Neither will the M3 CSL, of which the 22 have already been sold. M3/M5/M6, either not quick enough or too big (but still not quick enough)

can't wait for these to hit the streets, aaaaaand to rub my bro's face in it

Unfortunately that close mindedness is why BMWs can sell for a higher premium than Nissans.

Reality may not be statistical, but unfortunately your brother's a marketing parasite so he doesn't live in reality.

[thorpe84]

damn i really hate those front lights, the roofline and back look fully sick uleh

[WazR32GTSt]

2 * bov's

can also see 3 intake runners on the intake manifold on the far side, thus V6

TT V6..

hopefully its 3.5L in capacity

[KISIN]

As said above, engine bay looks too crowded. I hope its not a new "300zx" engine bay. Im still not being pulled in by the new look...maybe it will gorw on me in time...maybe.

[dan_the_man]

yeah i think it wont be a f**k up like the 300zx again
