The GTR is expected to be available in three different model levels. Base level will be a 480hp twin-turbo V6 engine in the standard base GTR as well as the middle level GTR V-Spec. They will be priced at roughly $57,000 and $67,000 respectively. The range topping EVO version with the same VQHRTT engine as the standard and V-Spec models gets a power increase up to 530hp while losing 220 lbs. from the body for an unbelievably inexpensive price of $94,000.

While the 7:15 time is semi official, the car that actually ran it isn't. There is a video of the times for proof, with an engine shot.

Rumors are the car that did the time (one of 4 that was at the ring that day), was a ringer Nissan brought knowing the press was watching. It may have had race rubber that looked like the street version, and had 650+ HP. But doing it with the VQ V6 shows the potential of the car, even if this was a ringer. If you watch the Video, the car actually lifts 2 wheels in some turns

Official Ring times, and L Seca times will be published at the cars launch in October.

One of the pics:

Why the NACA ducts in the hood when the car (probably) needs air outlets to prevent lift?

Ok, granted I am a Porsche fan boy. But I have to say that with equal rubber, drivers and at rated power, that car is not going to beat the Carerra GT.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

nissan altima is recalled for a intake fire possibilllity.. if flammable things get in the intake tract.. it can catch fire..

hmm, that is bad news for rally cross, grass fires or dust fires b/c a buried nose.. i think a k&N or something is in order
