Best Car magazine in Japan is showing off a couple of pictures of the upcoming GT-R and reporting some interesting stuff. They claim:

"The standard GTR is expected to start at $57K while the V Spec and EVO Spec will start at $67K and $94K respectivly. Both a 6 speed and an advanced paddle shifting automatic are to be available. The Standard GTR and Spec V will be equiped with a 480HP version of the VQHRTT engine(displacement is either 3.7 or 3.8L as it has not yet been confirmed).

The GTR EVO will receive a 530HP version of the VQHRTT engine as well as being roughly 220lbs lighter then the standard GTR, coming with light weight seats, a larger more aerodynamic rear spoiler, large ceramic brake rotors, and a revised Altessa AWD geared for more track use."

 

I have always been a GTR fan. I think they went a little over board witht he design on this one.

 

H*ly crap...94k starting price for the EVO spec trim? Thats a hefty price that i'm not sure many ppl would go for. But then again, i'm sure they already know that. Either way, this will be nice.

 

god damn thats nice

 

Just Imagine, in 18 years, there are going to be skylines running around here, with 6" exhaust pipes, wings attached to the original wing, APC graphics, Spinning Hubcabs, and Neon License plate frames....

Who cares, bring it on ever anyways.

 

IT'S FOR 530HP!! I think, that if peopl buy Vipers with 500 ponies, then this will be in the same ball park. Also expect competition from the Corvette SS, and the new Viper. I wish I was working already, so I could buy in 10 years the skyline.

 

At that time, we'll also be shaking our heads and saying "damn kids", lol, i find myself saying/thinking that now sadly...old age is creeping slowly,
