    Great video, Great car!

  • Tim

    WOW, that was fantastic. What a car, what a passionate team…congratulations to Nissan – the GTR is a true legend.

  • crouchy

    Great video.. definately worth the watch. I think its fair to confirm that they have exceeded their goals with this car!

    Now any guesses how much the boss is on? have to be more than 50k… a minute!!!

  • Neo Utopia

    Extraordinary car, pitty about the Nissan Tiida though, maybe this car will influence the improvement of the rest of the Nissan models.

  • Sam

    I agree Neo. Its hard to believe the same car company could be responsible for both of those cars (Tiida and GT-r). Talk about chalk and cheese.

    Unfortunately whatever a new GT-R costs, it is going to be waaaaay out of my price range. The only hope I have is that, over time they might get less expensive, as demand fades or it starts to age. Still, it will be well over 100k new and I would be pulling a lot of strings. I wonder how long it will be before all the orders are filled and you can walk into a showroom, pick one and drive it away?

    Hopefully by then i can buy one on the mortgage on the house. If its really that good, maybe….. you only live once right?

    Good video, but i think it makes some pretty outrageous claims.

    It also failed to note that you can get the r32 GTR in Australia, the only market it was exported too.

    Great car and good to see thay can make it so lots people can afford to buy it.I still cant belive this car is going to cost the same as a commondore w427 go figer ,those commondore buyers are getting wayyyyyy riped off. The F6 is faster than w427 in rolling sprints and is only 3rd of the price also
