Too bad they did not get some decent drive time.

Looks awesome, may consider owning one when we finally see them on the road here.

Here is another vid with an excellent demonstration of exhaust note.

Nice yeah, but cannot compare to a R33 Nismo GT-R ... the Skyline tradition died after the R34...

Skyline as we know it ,will no longer be.

Cannot compare it to a Nismo R33? of course not as it stands this shits all over the R33. Just wait till Nismo get their hot hands on one of these .... GAME OVER

Lets be realistic here, Std specs are 70% better than any previous GTRs

"Nice yeah" Biggest understatement ever ! This is the hottest Production (super)car to have ever come out of Japan, if not the world !

as i said months ago- at the projected price range (~$160k Au), this is the GT performance bargain of the last 108 years

My conspiracy theory .... I'm only guessing but Nissan engineers and marketing guys arent dumb. I suspect its an intentional underplay the true capabilities of first version of R35 as a car "for all people", knowing it may be considered a bit heavy, knowing enthusiasts would love a manual, knowing the styling without further body kits will have some mixed reactions, but knowing the potential they have to evolve the base product.

I suspect they are waiting for the counter shots from Porsche and the like (eg Porsche already claiming 7:32 around ring from new GT2 390kw on standard rubber) - read below.

They'll let the dust settle and then blast them again with the lighter tricked up Vpec versions. Hasegawa has more up his sleeve to unfold than's been told I'm sure.

Any version can be delivered to my garage when convenient please please Mr Nissan

that car looks better and better everytime I look at it.

Hehehehe, it sounds so menacing...

I'm sooo glad I've become a Nissan/Skyline/GTR fanboi!
