Goldenhawk Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Finnaly, a Nissan GT-R makes it to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 its very affordable for the amount of technology you get. Faster than a ferrari, lambo, and 911 turbo for 75k. Japan release is mid 2007, people are already expecting chaffered frames with full carbon bodys coming in at 1200lbs less weight. Expect 1000+ horsepower after the tuners get a hold of it.

8thehardway Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 its very affordable for the amount of technology you get.Faster than a ferrari, lambo, and 911 turbo for 75k. Japan release is mid 2007, people are already expecting chaffered frames with full carbon bodys coming in at 1200lbs less weight. Expect 1000+ horsepower after the tuners get a hold of it. The tail lights under the rear spoiler make it look like a Taylor Made R7. I can't see 1000 horsepower bolted to a 1200 pound frame. I'm no engineer but anyone who tries that better consider a real big spoiler - without significant downdraft you'd have liftoff in about 5 seconds. I prefer something slower, easy on the eyes, with room for lots of clubs s shown in the attachment below.PHOTO_schoolbus.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramizuno13 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) That is awesome. But, I believe it's the 2005 GT-R proto. Here's a photo of the 2006 GT-S Concept. Edited July 22, 2006 by Big Mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Mack, this GT-R proto is 99% the same car we will see spring 2008. all the other concepts based on the 350Z and G35 were just to catch buzz leading up to the event where they released this car to the public view in tokyo. I can't see 1000 horsepower bolted to a 1200 pound frame. I'm no engineer but anyone who tries that better consider a real big spoiler - without significant downdraft you'd have liftoff in about 5 seconds. 1200lbs less not total body weight, and thats if its chamfered by the guys at Opera in Yokohama. They even rebuild sheet metal parts with Titanium for even more weight savings. One thing though Opera's Yasuyoshi Yamamoto will not modify the motor after doing this process. Original JDM style is reducing weight and reinforcing frames but leaving motors almost stock. The 1000hp issue is for the tuner crowd ( U.S style ). I personally agree with the Opera/Virtuoso philosophy, who needs that much power when you can hit 0-60 faster than the 911 turbo, Ferrari, Lambo, Ford GT, Z06 etc.. Don't expect a European ride on this car, its pure performance and aims to take records on tracks in germany's RING like the 1999 GT-R that stomped porche in its own back yard. Its true Japanese design at its best, The new design Super HICAS four wheel steering system can turn the front and rear wheels in opposite directions at low speeds for maneuvrability. It will be able to send 100% of the torque to the rear wheels in a matter of milliseconds allowing for a 50/50 split when required. Power can also be sent over to just the right or left side when needed as well. Rumor has it that the steering wheel mounted gearshift paddle could be upgraded to an 8 speed system like the new toyota racing gearbox. The launch control mode based off of the Magneti Marelli transmission system used by ferrari and aston martin could be used as well but enhanced even further. They are going nutz 100%, waaay ahead of the curve for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
