FWIW...

Not a great article but somewhat interesting...absolutely no numbers have been confirmed yet so I susepct that with over a year to go before we get a real look at a production model and a lot more testing to be done that the HP and other figures are about 99% speculation at this point.

what did i say about all this nissan crap!


j/k looks nice. it sits really low will the production model sit that low?

if you look at the one picture the driver side front tire is off the ground.

so are thouse the final hp numbers?

 

The "looks" are pretty well set most likely but this is a testing mule and no numbers are anywhere near final yet...they have a LOT of testing yet to do...and a lot of suspension and turbo tuning to do as well.

 

Is that an M45 it is overtaking at 29.3 seconds into the video? It looks quite a bit wider than the M does!

 

This is going to be one sweet car!

 

I've looked at a few times now...can't really tell what that car is that it's overtaking.

 

The tail lights look like the M but they may be a 5 series. I don't think it is a 3 seies but I could be wrong. Whatever it is the GTR shot past it like a bullet! That car is going to be lots of fun for those who can afford it.

 

I think thats a 3 series it overtakes... but regardless, I hope the production version shoots flames out of tail pipes!

 

Are these figures true? I read this in a forum somewhere...

In here, one of the forum posts.

Im not sure if they are accurate. They're also having an argument between the z06 and gtr. Its kinda fun reading all their comments. You'd see all their biases

 

While the lap times I have seen reported are encouraging, it's a bit early to start quoting lap times and very early to draw any conclusions...there is a lot more tuning and development to do yet. Also, the best lap times are those officially posted by the manufactureres and that won't happen for the GT-R for some time yet.

Fair to say, I think, that we can expect the final product to be an awesome car; one I'm planning to buy (unless the next generation "Z" is as good as the current rumors indicate).
