It’s a Nissan GTR. They dropped the Skyline name, since that’s what the G35/7 is called in Japan. ---

Denooyer Mitsu, about the Evo X, said they were getting 5 Evo X’s and no one would be able to test drive them…his words were “Once you buy it, then you can drive it” :confused ---

I highly doubt he’s right. 1. There are always rumors going around out of lack of information 2. I’m sure something as major as that would have been more widely spread. ---

The US models will differ slightly from the rest of the worlds. Yes the car will have an unusual limiter, however, through the sat-nav and onboard computers it will remove these limiters when you are on a track(they are all programmed into the car). Its hard to confirm exactly what we will see but I can guaranty these will be selling for over sticker price for a while, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find one for under $100k for at least the first year. ---

> [@plaf713](#): > > limited quantity, high demand = higher costs I understand the economics but to me there is so much more to a car then the numbers it puts down. Purchasing a car is an emotional decision, and granted I haven’t driven one, but I have owned its little brother(07 G35X) and this car doesn’t stir my soul, it just doesn’t excite me the way a lot of other around $100k cars do. As the Fifth Gear video said, its the car for “Grand Turismo video gamers” or people who base a cars purchase exclusively on the numbers it puts down on paper. People who buy a car like a GT3 are doing it for a very different reason then the person who will buy a GT-R because its the fastest(today anyways).
