Nissan GT-R Spec-V

The price of this car makes the ZR1 look like a real steal.

First off, the Vette in general, no matter the model is a steal performance per dollar wise. However, if everyone shopped with that mindset there would be no market for exotic cars. A fast as a ZR1 (or GTR for that matter) is, it's never going to be a Lamborghini.

My first thought was, "$150,000? Way overpriced!"

Then I read theyre only making 10 a month. Simple supply and demand will drive the price of that car way up. Car enthusiests with money will buy these up very quickly...

No I don't feel like taking a swing at the Corvette will never be a Lamborghini horse.

Sweet! Turbo Boost! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcDztfFXPww :lol:

I think this is the car that is more capable to run the 7:29 at the Ring. I'd bet Porsche would probably agree.

Nissan won’t be attending the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, but prior to the press days Nissan will unveil the new Nissan GT-R Spec-V and thanks to GTRBlog, we have all the specs on the new lighter, faster and more powerful Spec-V model.

Nissan is expected to make only 10 units a month of the special-edition model with prices starting at 15,000,000 yen ($153,625 USD). The new Nissan GT-Spec V will make its official debut on January 8th, 2009 with the following changes:


Engine/Drivetrain:

- Engine output increased to 520-hp.
- Transmission mode selection button has been removed.
- Overboost button for increased midrange boost during overtaking.
- Carbon brakes.

Interior:

- Carbon fibre MFD surround
- Carbon fibre mirror switch surround
- Black interior only
- Silver painted panels are now chrome
- Carbon fibre front seats
- Carbon fibre rear shelf replaces seats

Exterior:

- Carbon fibre grille painted matte clear
- Carbon fibre rear wing painted matte clear
- Carbon fibre ducts in front lip spoiler
- New colour available: Ultimate Black Pearl, this is said to be a purplish black
- Available colours: Ultimate Black Pearl, Brilliant White (new for MY09), Red, Dark Metal Gray, Black

Wheels and Suspension:

- Rays 20″ Forged Aluminum Wheels
- Bilstein Damptronic suspension upgraded, superiour in performance to the Nismo ClubSport package suspension

- Dunlop Tires (no cost option)
- Thatcham alarm system
- BOSE Sound System and ETC (Electronic Toll Card system)
- Ultimate Black Pearl Paint - a 577,500 yen option

- Overboost button for increased midrange boost during overtaking.

So this one will have an issue with blown [insert engine or intake part here] and they will not cover it under warranty if you used this button. :lol:What a joke!

I think this is the car that is more capable to run the 7:29 at the Ring. I'd bet Porsche would probably agree.

If Nissan runs it on "stock" tires, I will run 7:00.

No I don't feel like taking a swing at the Corvette will never be a Lamborghini horse.
I thought the Lamborghini was a bull? ;)

V for vagina

Weight = ??

Doesn't sound like it is going to weigh a lot less, if that list is fairly complete (and accurate).

The loss of the rear seat and the carbon fiber fronts are the biggest change, it seems. Maybe 150 lbs less than the current car?

Here we go again...

Still a porker next to the Z06 (and the ZR1 too). Someone please put ZR1 compound tires on a Z06 and run it for me already...

If Nissan runs it on "stock" tires, I will run 7:00.You're wrong, it will be more like a 6 something.
