GTR launches in a few days!

Anyway, the specs have been confirmed.

"The 2009 Nissan GT-R boasts a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds. It has an 11.7-second quarter mile with a 192 mph top speed. Oh, the price, under 80K. The larger-displacement 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 produces approximately 450 horsepower."

bloody beast

I'll wait to see the actual cost of this before getting too excited. I know Jash has already ordered one, plus he's off to TMS for the official launch

[gazza750]

considering with luxury tax and everything there wont be any change of $150 000 according to jash

[phenline]

150000 still a bargain i mean what other cars could you get in that price line to match its performace and style? i mean HSVs are even pushing 100k these days

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Supposedly two models will be released in Oz, one alot cheaper than $150k. But until there released it's pure speculation on the pirce. Wouldn't mind paying $80+k, but not $150k.

This is probably a retarded question, but couldn't you just import one from japan and then get it complied to aus standards?

[dan_the_man]

not if nissan australia bring them in themselves... but there is talk of nissan bringing 2008 models in so there will be 2007 models which can be brought in under grey import

[phenline]

there is a whole forum section dedicated to the GTR subject

[dan_the_man]

there is... but he is quite welcome to discuss it here

$70k American and $150k Austrlian, I call black mail by Bill Gates, Michael Eisner, JFK and The Count.

i love how people try compare our price against the rest..

it's the same reason my new car cost $4000 in japan, but is costing me $15,000 once its on aussie roads.

they DONT want us buying non-australian cars, so they ramp it up with taxes, and the like, so either

a) buy a commonwhore, or a foulcan, or

b) they make lots of money of our stubbornness to own something decent.

Comparing and complaining are different though. I know the reasons

Yep, we pay additional car duties here so as to keep a dying car industry propped up.
