Holey Smoley - this is one fast puppy, 0-60 in 3.3 stops as quick as a 911 turbo with ceramic brakes handles as good.

Prices are a bit silly and from what I hear there wont be as much scope for tuning - the engine is already getting towards its limits. But when you look at the figures its a rocket ship on wheels with 911 turbo performance for hald the money. I would seriously consider a 6 - 12 month old one if there is a decent bit of depreciation, will have to wait and see though.

I also wonder how the gearbox / drive line will feel on the real roads. No doubt on track its brilliant but I am just not convinced about having the power sent to the back and then back again to the front, thats a hell of a lot of prop shaft!!

I read that the engines are produced a la Aston Martin, by one engineer from start to end.

Have Nissan confirmed a V Spec model yet?

alloy

not fully confirmed yet, thought to have more power...530bhp, 200kilos lighter thanks to carbon fibre and only two seats with a half cage. Will know more when i confirm the spec march/april time .... with release mid 2009

Spy shots: Lightweight Nissan GT-R portends V-spec version

NotoriousREV

There's dyno charts of a standard GTR on Welcome - GTR OWNERS CLUB which shows the power as 482PS at the hubs which means power at the flywheel is well over 500bhp.

Also a few of the Japanese guys on GTR reckon the V Spec will be called Spec V to separate from earlier versions.
