Revealed: Nissan's New Gt-r

[Duncan]

looks brilliant from the outside, nice and aggressive.

shame to see only 2 throttle bodies (and electric ones for that matter). Wonder what CAMS regs will say about the throttle return springs lol. Dipstick at the front looks a hell of a lot easier than that disaster in the 350z. Twin airboxes look good for flow, nice and large.

will be good once we see more engine/driveline details

This and the EVO X makes the new STi look VERY ordinary

Sure you can compare the evo with the suby but the GTR is in another league, no comparison with the other two..

What is your number in the Australian R35 GT-R queue, Jerry?

It is not mate , I never buy a car before I see it in the flesh and take it for a good spin. If and when it is sold here I will have a good look at it, take one for a long drive and only then I will consider , depending on price if I will put one in my garage.

If I decide to buy one then I will have another problem ..... what do I do with the M-spec.... Mick was going to be the next owner but he already got another car .....

3.8L engine, Foo

I hope these '$80K' rumours come true (they wont)- Just imagine how badly that would decimate R34 GT-R prices

(commiserations to any current 34 owners )

[dan_the_man]

$80k for a new gtr? thats within reach!

[sh@un]

350Z = $65k

R35 GT-R = A 350Z + 150hp (or more) + twin turbos + 7-speed DSG paddleshift tranny + AWD + 6-piston calipers with 380mm discs + carbon fibe + completely different engine = $80k?

seems more than a bit hard to bleev

[ignuz]

Looking forward to seeing one on the road.

The $80k is US pricing, which is just shy of what you'd pay for an M5 up there.

I suspect it will be about 120 - 140K here

How much do you pay for an M5 here? our German cars are ridiculously overpriced.

Fingers crossed our GTR pricing won't be relative to the M5 price for instance...

An RX8 is circa $30k in Japan and circa $60k here, for another example.

i think i want one of these bad boys.looks sensational i reckon....air vents are a good finish

[Roy]

Interrio looks cool until i think about how high it appears, hope you dont get the feelign that you are driving an RV and not a sports car...but still the interior looks cool.

But, should have been a V8, even if it was only a small bore V8, V6 and clutchless sports cars are poo

[sunnycoast]

Can't say i like the new GTR...

I'm still set on buying a 2004 GTR

Rear 3/4 profile is my favourite angle. Looks so squat and purposeful and still recognisably 'GTR'.

[sl33py]

The front looks VERY Aston Martin Vanquish-y to me! It looks more euro than jap. I guess they had to try and do something different.

Also agree GTR should be GTR and that's it. if they want lesser versions, call them GTST's again (though I think these are all AWD, so that would break the pattern).

Haven't seen a speedo with 80-100 where it is on this - looks whacky Although not much stranger than Audi's with their markings at 50-70-90 instead of 60-80 etc.

Friends don't let friends buy Bose, if I got one of these, I'd be ditching the sound system.

Also wish it was manual.

Bring on the R34 GTR price crash!! (but I think they will bear the brunt pretty well and hold their prices for some years yet).

But in the end, just glad Nissan are still making great performing cars!

[monaroCountry]

The current R34 looks to be a better buy with better looks and around the same performance as the new GTR.........well a 15 sec difference around the ring anyway.

Earlier, Mizuno-san (Nissan GTR engineer) had offered some lap times from the Nordschliefe for various cars driven by the German magazine SportAuto. Those times are driver-dependent, track-knowledge-dependent, weather-, traffic- and bunny-crossing-the-track dependent. But Mizuno suggested the GT-R could get anywhere from 7:44 on up, with most laps coming in between 7:55 and 7:58. So he suggested the GT-R's strong suit was that it offered "the best cost per lap time." For whatever that's worth.
