This just makes me wonder about the hp race. If the V-Spec delivers near 700bhp, that puts it in hypercar territory. That’s a bit of a scary thought. Cars with that kind of power traditionally cost over a half a million dollars. Since the V-Spec is still a GT-R and the base goes for like 70k, I doubt they’ll be able to ask for much more than 120k for it. That’s 700hp in the hands of a LOT more people than before. ---

No, I’m saying that almost no one knows how to drive well enough to own a 700bhp car. Increasing the number of people that can afford to buy one, puts more people that don’t know how to drive well enough in the seat of one. ---
