2008 GT-R: Warning, Explicit Content
June 26, 2007 by George Skentzos
It’s beyond me why they continue to disguise the 2008 Nissan GT-R as its design has remained about as much of a secret as a Paris Hilton home movie. Thankfully however, unlike the jailed heiress, the GT-R radiates what can only be described as sex appeal.
Engineered as Japan’s answer to the Porsche 911, the GT-R is the epitome of Japanese performance prowess.
It’s twin-turbo 3.7L V6 should pump out more than 500bhp sent to all four wheels putting it roughly on par with the aforementioned 911 Turbo.
Spy shots also reveal the GT-R taking on the 911 in the ring, the Nurburgring that is. With a car of that caliber as a benchmark, we can most definitely expect great things from the GT-R.

Awesome. I trust they’re going to bring these into the country? Or will the grey market be flooding in a few years time?
I think Nissan have always built stompin’ engines, I wonder if this one is a homogenised V6 from the Fairlady Z.

We can only hope Nissan bring these in. Even if they are to pricey for the average joe it’ll be nice to see such a beast getting around the streets.
Oh my god…
I’m going to try to be as nice as I can with this…
Can the Japanese actually produce a car that hasn’t got a blowdryer or two inbuilt to it?
I understand single Turbo, but Twin Turbo is just plain and simply cheating!
If that Skyline had a normal V6 engine, it would barely get recognised!
All I can say is thank god they are estimating a nice price of $215,000 for that Twin Turbo that comes with parts of car wrapped around it. With it being so dear, I won’t have to care too much about it being such a failure.
well not to be rude but the skyline did not ever have a v6 engine and boosting engines has almost become the standard for performance with better fuel economy and almost limitless hp possibilities. and i do believe that the 350z doesn’t have a “blow dryer” and it is a great car from japan.
i guess your just mad that your slowstang got beat by a supra or something
well i was just reading about this car in the car and driver mag for dec 07 and if is a fucking insane car 480bhp 403 ftlbs and an amazing 0-60 in 3.5sec it has a price tag of $80,000 to $85,000 not $215,000 top speed at about 185mph it also said that the acceleration is way better then the porsche 911 turbo. ZR1 corvette and the lotus 348ts and it is coming to the US i hope they keep it right hand drive too that would be fucking awesome it has a 232 cu in v6
Shit!!!
with the Torque + aerodynamics of the new GT-R you got to know that not very many vehicles are going to beat it in price or game i personaly cant wait till this beast comes out! It is worth every penny! my RX-7 would and Will get its ass kicked by it! LOL
