Specifications will be confirmed at the 2007 Tokyo motor show, although the GT-R will be powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 and again employ an all-wheel-drive system. The new V6 is reported to deliver 353kW of power and 588Nm of torque, and Nissan is said to claim the GT-R sprints from 0-97km/h in 3.5 seconds and complete the quarter-mile dash in 11.7 seconds. Top speed is reportedly 245km/h.

Drivers will change gears using a dual-clutch six-speed transmission similar in operation to Volkswagen's DSG system, and paddleshifts can be seen on the GT-R's steering wheel in the official interior photo.

A six-speed manual is also expected to be offered in an 'entry-level' GT-R. A more powerful (circa-400kW) Evolution version is expected.

The Nissan GT-R will cost $77,000 when it hits Japanese showrooms in December, although expect it to cost more when it lands locally.

I saw a P plater in a new black Nissan Skyline GT on the Monash Freeway yesterday and that looked very nice. But this looks awesome. They've done a great job to raise the bar from the previous model.

Yeah, I had read that as well?? - but according to some press statement from Nissan Aus, they've said that they're struggling to get delivery here before 2009, as Aus wont be receiving it until after it's released in the US and Europe.

I dare say I agree with you.
What's with the trend to offer high performance cars with auto only? Who cares if it shifts quicker than the manual, you're still driving a f&%king auto!

The same generation that had played Gran Turismo tirelessly, now want a DSG style gearbox in real life, perhaps?

I'm still trying to get my head around the styling cues of these new cars, but on the whole, its a pretty beastly package.

The chop old boy MickeyJuice has posted up does look rather pornographic.

*awaits the release of the new Toyota Supra*

I have ranted about this before, but it saddens me that the I6 has been dropped for a V6. Its believe Toyota have done the same thing with their pending Supra.

Could well be on to something there I think... Personally I'm annoyed my shiny new xbox doesn't support the logitech g25 so I could have something other than the annoying paddles big_smile
(No turbo in real life, so forza will have to do :angry:)

Personally I wouldn't mind a 3.6L flat 6 with a turbo or two hanging off the side...

Looks the same as when they unvield the concept about 2years ago.
Looks like they have gone back to the beginings, as IMO that looks alot like the 240z's of 1970's. A good Move IMO.

I also eagerly await the release of the new Supra. I6 or V6, either way. So long as it has at least one turbo, im sold.

3.8L twin turbo, in a detuned state of 450hp and 550nm+ means you'll easily get another 25% without any trouble or affect reliability.  Shorter V6 means a mucher taughter package in relation to handling and dynamics.  It will be without doubt the best value supercar to date.  Waiting on v-spec variants to be released (it needs to go on a diet for any true track junkies). Next 12months  in japan will be interesting to watch.  Nothing short of being the ultimate weekend toy/track warrior - can't wait!!!!

LOL,
man nissan have sure hit a winner with this car, it has lapped the Nurburgring supposedly 2 seconds faster then a veyron (veyron has managed a 7:40 seconds) which is slower then a Porsche  Carrera GT... I tend to think that perhaps there was heavy traffic when the veyron had its turn.. not sure

The Veyron is fast in a straight line, very fkn fast. Which may make it a handfull trying to put it around a track.

Like all Japanese cars, the GTR is extremly well balanced.
