Dun flame mi....purleeese.....I m so in love wif dis baby...even tho i noe it will hv my 8 for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and mebbe tmr's breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper...











Check out the onboard Telemetry screen...can show real-time longitudinal accleration amongst other things.....



when will dis nippon supercar be available on 1 : 18 AutoArt scale for my purchase u reckon?

 

Seriously.. I doubt this will be the RX8 killer.. lacks the curves and just ain't sexy enough (its a nissan design.. what more can I say?).. and the inside is typical ' Japanese design.. functional, not appealing.. nuff' said.. *Goes back to bed with his RX8*

 

front nice....rear like ****!

 

Exterior is good, interior looks functional but not so appealing. But most importantly its a GTR.

*adds to favourite list below Audi R6*

 

I hate to say it, but the rx8 isn't even in the same league as this car. It's a corvette competitor.

 

agree.........

 

Sad to say my fave car is still Nissan Skyline GTR R34 Vspec II, follow by RX7 FD3S den RX8.... haiz the closes i ever drive a skyline is in australia... but is a GTT model... R33.5.... haiz not even close to the baby i wan...

Hey Bro! I managed to sit into the very 1st R35 that arrived in S'pore 2 weeks ago. Hee...

Powerful car but then again as other bros here mentioned its nt comparable to our class lar...

Cheers!

 

now the owner of the 1st R35 in SGP knows you sat in his car before.

 

WAH!!!!! damme jialats.....suay man..

 

wahahaha rx8 killer??? more like OWNself killer...too powderful liao

but its a very powerful car though, anyway dun think it will kill jap carz lor, it's more conti car killer

maybe rx9 can take it on.

 

Our RX-8 is not even close to Nissan's new GT-R. Mysql101 is correct by stating that it is more of a "corvette-competitor" rather than that of an RX-8. Nissan even stated that the new GT-R's target competitors are the Corvette and Porche. The new GT-R and the RX-8 are not even on the same class. Stock to stock, the new GT-R will smoke the RX-8 without breaking a sweat. Heck, even a fully modded forced-induced well-tuned RX-8 "may not be able" take on Nissan's new monster.

Just by looking at some stats of both cars, you can easily see that the two of them are not in the same league or class:

RX-8 engine/power: 1.3 Liter RENESIS 2-rotor rotary / 232 hp @ 8,500 rpm - 159 lb-ft torque @ 5,500 rpm
GT-R engine/power: VR-series twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 / 480 hp @ 6,400 rpm. - 430 lb-ft torque @ 3,200–5,200 rpm

RX-8 0-60 mph (or 0-96.6 kph) time: 5.9 sec
GT-R 0-60 mph (or 0-96.6 kph) time: 3.5 sec

RX-8 top speed: 148 mph (or 238 kph)
GT-R top speed: 193 mph (or 310 kph)

RX-8 price (US $): around $30,000
GT-R price (US $): currently estimated around $70,000


So there is really no point in comparing the two. Some may argue about the look and style (both interior and exterior) of the two cars. But that's purely subjective. When it comes to performance and price though, there is no comparison between the two.

I personally like both cars. I love the RX-8 and I own one. But the new GT-R also makes me want to drool. It's a damn beast!!

 

heehee, you just did, dude!

 

In order to make my argument come across to show that there is "no point in comparing the two" - I had to show comparisons between the two cars and show how far apart the RX-8 and the GT-R are from each other. In a way your reply is specious because it's like me telling you that "there is no point for me in explaining myself to you." And then you coming back with a whim retort like, "but you just did." Nice try though. hehe

Anyways, pics from the other thread:

 

the telemetry dash was in the previous model skyline. geez i would love that.

 

i bot an 8 becos cant afford any other sports car lor! bo pian.....

 

bros our 8 also got potential, if really wan tat kind of pwr, do engine swap but you need the capability...'$$$$$' first lor

 

wake up wake up!!! stop dreaming! if swop engine then any car also gt potential.

 

This car is a lambo killer. Not in looks, but in performance. It will be the new king of the hill.

 

daamnn sexy car

 

How much will it cost in Singapore??

 

Sorry bro, but I have doubt on this 'RX-8 0-60 mph (or 0-96.6 kph) time: 5.9 sec' line. If can get 7 sec (all original), I already dem happy.

 

There are 3 specs. The highest spec called the Premium is ard S$325,000...
