    Not sure on the price, I haven't heard any figures.

    I was able to get some specs on the car (which unfortunately I can't release) and all I can say is HOLY CRAP. Nissan Motor Ltd. is being pretty secretive about the particulars on the car. When it comes out I think everyone will be impressed.

    Okay... of course the video was denied here at work.

    Here are photos I found.

    http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/10/...8-nissan-gt-r/

    The car is based on the highly popular Nissan GT-R concept, first unveiled in late 2005. Earlier this year, the Japanese automaker announced the GT-R would be badged as a Nissan, much to the disappointment of Infiniti dealers. Since unveiling the concept, Nissan has tried to limit the car's exposure to prevent tiring the public.

    This is both great, and awful... Great that it WILL carry the Nissan nameplate. However my service experiences at Nissan dealerships were TERRIBLE. Whereas Infiniti has ALWAYS been amazing... I hope that NNA will have zero issues with owners taking these to Infiniti for work, otherwise BAD move Nissan.

    Pricing is expected somewhere around $70,000. When Nissan first previewed the concept, it said the show car was 80 to 90 percent representative of the final shape. Rumors have indicated the car will feature a 3.2 liter twin turbo V6 engine with 480 horsepower. It is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in Fall 2007, followed by the U.S. and Canada in Spring 2008. Gallery after the jump…

    $70kish...? OUCH! VQ32TT making 480HP stock??? NICE!!!!

    As would I, but in the absence of aformentioned supercar, I would settle for this.

    Sounds like it's a V8. That would be good, better than power from a twin turbo craptastic VQ derivative.

    It's sure to be an overwieght pig, for $70,000 it's going to have all sort of luxo-items and electronic drive by wire bull***** that will make it heavy and numb.

    I hope that non of that is true, but it probably is.

    Not sure I'm feeling the styling. However my guess is they will sell out even at 70grand plus adendum that will go with it.

    So is it a V8 or six? Have yet to see a definate answer.

    When I was in the Nissan plant last summer I saw 'twin turbo V6' displayed on their closed-circuit television dealio.

    That really ain't a supercar, you do know that anywhere else in the world there are 4 door versions too. It's just the tuned version of a family car. Supercars have no back seat. Personally, if I was enjoying myself out on some windy roads I don't want to have to keep lookin' in the back tellin' some kids "quiet hitting your sister" Don't get me wrong, they are nice in the GTR wrapper but in base model they are just a rear drive Maxima.
