Info Leaked on Spec V

From NAGTROC

VR38DETT twin turbo
520ps at 6500rpm
about $120,000 CAD

You can't really see from my fuzzy pic, but it has:

front Nismo style air ducts
carbon lip
carbon side skirts
carbon rear lip
carbon hood
carbon doors (!)
updated wheels, 2 options (one looks like TE37 with black lip and centre cap, silver spokes)
rear center roll/safety bar (comes down from the roof, along the inside of the back window and between the passengers)
roof mounted antenna (radio, GPS?)
rear brake ducts




The wheels remind me of the ones used on the test mules .

there are sooooo many freakin GTR threads, I'm just going to update this thread from now on!


Posted by: chromesilver6

Well i was surfing around our local tennspeed.net forums and found that a red GTR stopped by the cool springs Nissan dealer thats about 10 minutes outside of Nashville. People that worked there said that Nissan was just driving around to all the local dealers to show all the people that where interested in selling and servicing the car. Here are the pics taken from that site. Enjoy!! Oh and this happend just last thursday.








That tan one has also been seen in around Nashville several times. Man i cant wait to see one in person.

It looks 100 times better in any color other than silver/gray... I've hated the styling until now. It looks good in black too.

They should have had the concept show car in red !!

Still looks like a bloated eclipse to me.

But the performance is very impressive. I underestimated what nissan could do.

With nice lighting, this color looks great... not sure though how it will look in day-2-day type of conditions, etc. Personally I love Black, Red, White. Not soo much on silver. This pewter-silverish color is nice, but not sure how it would hold up....

i think the gtr wears pretty much every color well...except that pewter, it makes it look almost boring to me. my favorites are black and silver

The plain jane just silver is boring. It looks good on most cars, but definitely an unflattering color on the GTR. Though white & black GTRs are by far > *

And I happen to like Pewter very much, thank you. ....for those of you who remember my avatar

The chrome wheels are fucking disgusting, and especially on a GT-R. Fuck outta there with that bullshit
