wasnt sure where to post this...but i thought it would work well right smack dab in the middle of the blue...so here goes

OFFICIAL 2008 GTR PHOTOS!!!!

THE MONEY SHOT!!!

FROM ARTICLE:

Nissan's GT-R super coupe is set to be a star at next week's Tokyo motor show. So far, the best we've seen of the it are spy shots of prototype vehicles getting hammered around places such as Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, and along the famed Nurburgring race track in Germany.

That was then, this is now: Here's the new GT-R in all its un-disguised glory.

The reason you get to see it this week instead of next is simple--the embargo on information was broken by Motor Trend magazine which put the car on its December cover; an image of which was released to promote an award.

The Nissan GT-R will go toe-to-toe with the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911 Turbo. The GT-R's twin-turbo V6 gives it a startling 0 to 60 mph time of near 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph. That V6 cranks out 473 hp and 433 lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a rear-mounted transaxle. In between is a GR6 dual-clutch six-speed automatic you can operate via paddles on the steering wheel.

Base price is expected to be less than $80,000.

whats up with motortrend breaking all the embargos lately? first the wrx and now the gtr? nissan should sue their asses.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 10-16-2007, 02:38 PM

eh...i think if they would have leaked the pics like 6-7 months back...then there wouldve been a big stink with them and nissan...but honestly...nissan KNOWS the amount of info and pics that have been leaked over the last 3 years...and they were already planning to show the car next week...i dont think this is too much rain on their parade given not too many people know about these pics and what not yet...the average car fan doent dig that deep for their info on new cars...they usually wait til it appears in their mail box
