Next Gt-r Engine Bay Pics

[scathing]

350Z-Tech has some engine bay pics of the new GT-R.

Judging by the track shots its the Nurburgring (its chasing a 997 Turbo), but this is the first time I've seen pics with the bonnet up.

Not conclusive that its a VQ35HR, but the dipstick location and the shape of the cam covers definitely looks like a VQ engine's.

nurburgring? that looks like laguna seca to me.... (corkscrew in one pic)

edit: plus I don't recall seing sand like that in nurburg. lol

Yeah, I was thinking about the general lack of light coloured sand in that part of Germany.

I just got "Nurburgring" from the 997 Turbo chase car - the only pics / videos I've seen of the two cars together have been Nordschliefe pics.

car is looking good though but a bit hard to tell much from the engine pics. just read the post below too, it mentions laguna seca

You'd think they'd chuck on the 'turtle shell' engine cover to prevent pics of the engine bay.

Yes, yes, I'm a bit of a 'tard.

Apparently there are 2 models running around the USA at the moment... 1 V8 and 1 V6 TT.

1 V8

Hmmmm It'd be a nice option if it's true. From what I've read there's going to be 3 versions of the car standard GTR, V Spec, & Evolution. These will be the answer to the 991 range. 911, 911 Turbo, & GT3.

It could be possible the Evolution will be developed to have a highly refined racing NA V8 just like the GT3 has its highly refined NA engine. But then again its Nissan, don’t really see them spending a whole heap of money to develop a V8 just for one model.
