So when Nissan said the GTR will directly compete with the 911 turbo for half the price, maybe they meant it…

This vid is a little old, but it shows Nissan testing the GTR along side a 911 turbo and the “mule” (G35)

Yeah, but the new GTR is quite possibly one of the worst designs to hit the automotive world in recent years. What the hell were they thinking with that roofline?

Yeah, the performance is impressive as hell. But I wont own a car I dont like the styling on. 😉

Baby Seal :lol:

So basically the whole video up until the GTR appears is about how it was going to have info released in 2007. They stated it was like 450 PS with a V6 and distinctfully hear a turbo sound

Then they talk about how it paces, or is compared to a Porsche 911, but at 1/2 price

Then they see the car on the road, and point out several things:

1: Something to do with masking the front end  
2: 6 POT Brembo on 20s  
3: Covered underbody (aerodynamics)  
4: Semiautomatic clutchless manual

Now they showing it against a G35 Coupe.

D-day for it might be 10/07, sounds like Detroit show no?
