There are already some models for sale in the UK so I guess the GTR's release is imminent.

Faster round the nurburgring than a 911 turbo. Fastest production car currently on sale round the Nurburgring in fact.

How much? In UK over 60K GBP - so at least 120K Euros in Ireland.
Still - when you think about it thats only new M3 or RS4 money. I'll take two then! :lol:

Nice to see they still have a good bit of the looks of skylines as they were in the late 90's, when jap cars (I think anyway) really had their nice shapes, ftos, skylines, supras, celicas, and others. Too many manufacturers are going with boring much-too-big bodies now.

Subtle..?? When you see the rest of this car you may think differently. Besides the rear seats this car is an absolute animal with performance figures to blow your mind. I want one right now... immediately. The price they were quoting in a review in some car mag the other day was $80K US. Like thats 55 odd thousand in the states. How can Nissan afford to build something this class so cheap!

When i said subtle i ment the looks of it by that pic. you see that comming up behind you, first impression wouldn't be there's a boy racer behind me like when an evo or scooby is, as it isn't ott with the vents and lights ect of course once it passes you like your standing still ya might change your mind :)
