2007 or 2008... V6 turbo or V8 is what I have heard... mostly rumors so far. Nothing solid.

Re: New GT-R? But... 2007?
I saw a pic in Road n' Track... didn't look quite like a Z but it may have been photoshopped. I do know however that they were/are using a G35 shell (looks kinda like a Z) for testing... that may be what you saw?

Re: New GT-R? But... 2007?
i don't like the big black hole looking thing in the front. it looks....off. it does just look like a bolder version of a G35.

Gentlemen... lets not forget that the G35/V35 is continuing the Skyline line in Japan. The GTR should not fall too far from it's 'base' version apperance. BTW that is the exact car in that pic I mentioned earlier... could just be an evolving concept (remember the other GTR concept about three years ago?) and we have yet to see the final product. This version has changed a bit from the last but keeps the same lines more or less, so don't be surprised it looks more or less like the above pic!
Not what about base price? Has anyone heard anything? In past discussions about the new GTR it was suggested it should/would run for $50K...

yeah i cant seeing nissan/infiniti going all out like they did the z32 and losing sells because of the price. i can imagine it being around the same price as the vette, i think that will be the car nissan will be attempting to take sales from. along with the bmw m3 and various other companies' "halo" car. you cant expect nissan to get into competing with lamborghini, ferrari, BMW m5, and those types of car's sales. thats just not practical.

Re: New GT-R? But... 2007?
Nissan is shooting for the 911 performance numbers at a lower price. It should be competing with the Vette. This should make for a nice comparison, Vette (US), 911 (Germany), and the GTR (japan).
