R35 GT-R Article

[EXIT]

Here's an interesting article on the new GTR.

Japanese car makers have long been suspected of exceeding the self-imposed power limit and then simply quoting 206kW (or 280hp) to keep officials happy. Now that the decision has been made to abandon the agreement, Japanese performance-car makers can get serious about challenging their European counterparts.

yeehaw! I like the sound of that... hopefully that means that all the major Japanese companies will start outdoing each other to get high power figures out there again. Could herald a new era of mad Japanese sports cars...

Lets don't hope they totally stuff up the ability to import cars privately into the country....so that we can be driving them here in a few years at a price that isn't too way out there.

i posted that a little while ago with a pic car doesnt look too good though

The legendary R32 GT-R earned the nickname "Godzilla" for its performances in Australian touring car racing; it was ultimately ruled out of the competition through fear of upsetting car makers Ford and Holden.

Now thats what i want to hear!

the article says Feb 6th?? maybe a reprint.

just hope they completely change the final design and make it more a progression from the R34.

"Nissan is always seeking to provide fun-to-drive cars for the customers, especially for enthusiasts. This is the Nissan way."

hehe, like that.

To SS8_Gohan,

I think this design is absolutely mad, they would be crazy to change it!!!

well as it's been posted before, it's been widely documented that the general public hate the GTR concept car. And that Nissan knows about this. I'm not baggin u or anything, of course some ppl are going to love it. But i'd have to say that u'r in the minority. I'm pretty sure (hoping) that the design will change considerably.

who knows tho.. the 350z is very concept looking.. so we could see a concept looking GTR.

I wonder if they import the GTR's will they be importing the Gts's?

Its space age looking I'll give it that... imagine one pulling up next to you with 300kw or whatever looking like something out of a futuristic movie, and ripping you apart off the line with this hightech vvvv...shhhhhh sound.

Who knows how close to the concept GT-R that was shown in 2001 the final version will be. I guess we all find out October. I like the 350zx look now actually, its grown on me, so maybe a new R35 could too.

I think you'll find the shape won't change much, that way they keep a clear family resemblance between 350z, GTR and infinity coupe.
