That will be a fun car, i'm sure there will be so many things you can do to it. Looks great from what I can see. Like a 350 Z but much better!

I heard that the GTR will be a limited production car in the US. Last I heard only 1800 units will be going stateside. Prices are already in the 80's plus dealer markup might put it in the 100's. Crazy! Again these are just rumors nothing solid as far as facts about the actual production and pricing. If that is the actual car that will be going on sale then it looks like a beauty. Just love how the exhaust and the front fender looks.

 

I wish it could be an in-line-6. . . . I'm sure I'll have to take a look when it arrives. . . .

The RB engine isn't very emission friendly

Spy photographers caught what appears to be a production prototype of the 2008 Nissan GT-R. The car was seen in testing at the Nürburgring this week in Germany.
The car is based on the highly popular Nissan GT-R concept, first unveiled in late 2005. Earlier this year, the Japanese automaker announced the GT-R would be badged as a Nissan, much to the disappointment of Infiniti dealers. Since unveiling the concept, Nissan has tried to limit the car's exposure to prevent tiring the public.
Pricing is expected somewhere around $70,000. When Nissan first previewed the concept, it said the show car was 80 to 90 percent representative of the final shape. Rumors have indicated the car will feature a 3.2 liter twin turbo V6 engine with 480 horsepower. It is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in Fall 2007, followed by the U.S. and Canada in Spring 2008.

Porsche has already found there place behind it.

 

already saving for this.....im hoping that i can get it through my Infiniti dealer tho...i dont know how fond i am of spending 75 grand to get "Nissan" service.

Regardless, this car will be a BEAST out of the box and with some minor tweaks, well over the 500awhp mark!!!

I might sell my darn baseball card collection to get this thing if i have too!!!

 

My advisor has had this in the works for me the day after I saw the prototype

 

Thanks for the links fellas!

 

Yup, first one behind the owner at Countryside Nissan here in the Chicagoland area.

I think looks simply Awesome

 

I've always wondered what'll happen when the Japanese start building "German/Italian" sports cars. Not 100% sure, but I don't think they've built any sports cars with a greater cyl count than 6, certainly not for export at least. Once they start focusing on V8, V10, V8TT, V10TT, etc, with the applied high-specific-output technologies carried from their small displacement motors, it'll make things very very interesting. I think the market is ready for Japanese exotics, and in the end, sports car enthusiasts will be the winners.

 

Gonna be about 70K. this car is sooo sick looking. i think its going to be a great car with modability like that of the 996TT. look for this car to run very low 12s stock and with a chip and exhaust and some minor mods, this car will be a BEAST! going to sell very well looking and performing like that.
