It looks like a 350z but uglier! too many straight lines, and a very cluttered design.

Technical spec isnt bad. I wonder what the weight/measurements are like.

Engine
• VR-series twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6.
• 353kw @ 6,800 rpm. 588 Nm torque @ 3,200–5,200 rpm.
• Dual overhead camshafts with variable intake-valve timing.
• Cast aluminum cylinder block with high-endurance/low-friction plasma-sprayed bores.
• IHI twin turbochargers, one per cylinder bank.
• Pressurized lubrication system with thermostatically controlled cooling.

Drivetrain
• ATTESA ET-S All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with independent rear-mounted transaxle integrating transmission, differential and AWD transfer case.
• Rigid, lightweight carbon-composite driveshaft between engine and transaxle.
• Electronic traction control plus 1.5-way mechanically locking rear differential.
• Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC-R) with three driver-selectable settings: Normal (for daily driving, controls brakes and engine output), R-Mode (for ultimate performance, utilizes AWD torque distribution for additional vehicle stability) and Off (driver does not want the help of the system).
• Hill Start Assist prevents rollback when starting on an incline.
DisclaimerVDC-R cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

Transmission
• 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission with three driver-selectable modes: Normal (for maximum smoothness and efficiency), Snow (for gentler starting and shifting on slippery surfaces), and R mode (for maximum performance with fastest shifts).
• Fully automatic shifting or full sequential manual control via gearshift or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
• Dual clutch design changes gears in less than 0.5 second (0.2 second in R mode).
• Downshift Rev Matching (DRM).
• Predictive pre-shift control (in R mode) based on throttle position, vehicle speed, braking and other information.
Wheels and Tires
• 20 x 9.5" (front) and 20 x 10.5" (rear) super-lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with Gunmetal Gray finish.
• Exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Bridgestone® RE070A high-capacity run-flat summer tires, 255/40R20 front and 285/35R20 rear.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
• Optional exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Dunlop® run-flat all-season tires, 255/40R20 front and 285/35R20 rear (includes Bright Silver wheels).

Brakes
• Brembo® 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel Antilock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Preview Braking.
• Two-piece floating-rotor 15-inch front and rear discs with diamond-pattern internal ventilation.
• 6-piston front/4-piston rear monoblock calipers.

Steering
• Rack-and-pinion steering with vehicle-speed-sensitive power assist.
• 2.6 steering-wheel turns lock-to-lock.
Suspension
• 4-wheel independent suspension with Bilstein® DampTronic system with three driver-selectable modes: Normal/Sport (for automatic electronic control of damping), Comfort (for maximum ride comfort), and R mode (engages maximum damping rate for high-performance cornering).
• Electronically controlled variable-rate shock absorbers. High-accuracy progressive-rate coil springs.
• Front double-wishbone/rear multi-link configuration with aluminum members and rigid aluminum subframes.
• Hollow front and rear stabilizer bars.

Body/Chassis
• Exclusive Premium Midship platform with jig-welded hybrid unibody.
• Aluminum hood, trunk and door skins. Die-cast aluminum door structures.
• Carbon-reinforced front crossmember/radiator support.

I like it - alot.

And Damn, have you read the specifications! That is going to be a great car.

[Sideros]

Dan was saying tonight at the meet that the top top spec model is around $96000nzd which isn't really that bad...

[thegreatestben]

New "supra" looks heaps better.
V10 up in yo' grill.

[rollaholic]

i like it. definite GTR DNA.

weight is almost immaterial (at least for street machines) with that much poke.

i know the semi auto is gonna be faster but its a shame there doesnt seem to be a 6 speed.

[79rolla]

it looks pritty good for a new car comperd to some of the ones iv seen... but seems to me its digsinged for comfort insted of weight considering it has 11 speakers and 2 subs
still.. verry nice!

[Mr Revhead]

are you guys seeing the same pics i am?

[Lith]

That car is the shit. I would own one SOOOO happily, and then you look at the specs

are you guys seeing the same pics i am?

You like AW11s aye?

[Defective]

they are the worst pics ive seen of it... but id have one for sure, i reckon itl be one hell of a looker in the flesh.

[Mr Revhead]

im going to put it down to being awful pics of it

im seeing some hashup of mis-matched panels and ill fitting body kits

reminds me of a cross between a new lancer, and a walkinshaw commodore.

[big-ben-007]

$20 to the first person to chuck a rota in it

[rolla_fxgt]

MMMM drool!

Spec overload!!

I think i read somewhere that there was a 6 or perhaps 7 speed manual option for the trac spec one, but it's not available till next year. I think anyway.

Oh & Autoblog says Nissan has commited itself to running the GTR in the Super GT Champioship. So i guess we'll see how well they really perform under pressure then

It's not just you. This is downright ug compared to the prototype pics. The interior is hideous.

[ollieboy]

I think car designers have lost feeling in their designs, they all seem to look like appliances now imo.

I think it would actually be around $160,000

[Grrrrrrr!]

Price in yen (approx NZD conversion)
GT-R 7,770,000 (nzd$90750)
GT-R Black edition 7,927,500
GT-R Premium edition 8,347,500 (NZ$97500



The really interesting bit is this stuff:
• ATTESA ET-S All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with independent rear-mounted transaxle integrating transmission, differential and AWD transfer case.
• Rigid, lightweight carbon-composite driveshaft between engine and transaxle.

eh? rear mounted transaxle?

Motor in front and transaxle in rear with driveshaft direct from motor to the back of the car... then somehow getting power back up to the front wheels. This sounds very interesting..(and expensive if it goes wrong!)

Packaging and Driveline Suited for a Supercar
The all-new Nissan GT-R uses a Premium Midship package, an all-new, more advanced version Front Midship (FM) package utilized on other Nissan vehicles. This new package enables the use of the world's first application of an independent transaxle 4WD system. The transaxle's layout places the dual-clutch transmission, transfer case and final drive at the rear of the vehicle (instead of the usual front location), which enables vehicle weight to be evenly distributed throughout the car. This gives the Nissan GT-R a superb front-to-rear weight balance, while enhancing leg and foot space and allowing for an optimal pedal layout.
