Nice vids.. The only way we'll get to see the front end of one of these things is by video.

Nice vid....If i was opting to get this car, i would wait till at least 09', you know the first year run will have many quirks and kinks in it. But a super hot car no doubt!

Nice video...

I would be very dissapointed if they chose a v8 over the TT6, but I'm not one of their engineers.

This Best Motoring video has more details:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBYNH_FcS1w

BM says the test car was running a 6 cyl twin turbo, they also say a price of 8,500,000 Yen in Japan. That would be about $80K US (but Nissan may very well choose a different MSRP strategy for the US market.)

I can't imagine getting my $70-$80K GT-R serviced at a normal Nissan dealership. It would be like taking my Benz to a Chrysler service department. I wonder what kind of service Nissan will setup for this very special car.

LOL, they will sell the car at nissan, but will service on call basis. Maybe a "GTR" only car shop.

0-60 3.99 seconds lol, they are trying to hard to squeeze under 4 sec. but thats pretty impressive, on par with 911 turbo and F430 and only a tad slower than the z06.
