Is it worth it??.

I rather like the idea of one of those, £65K is a bit steep though ...

Nice little vid, the GTR never seems to be in front though! I'm looking forward to the launch, its got a lot to live up to. Just need the new Rx7 now to show them what a sports car really looks like :cool:

personally, i dont like it. plus its deffo not worth that sort of money.

Sory. Id rather have teh porker

well a 911 turbo is £98k so £65k for the nissan isn't that bad. the nissan looks stunning IMO. anyone want to buy a kidney?

It will be some car with 500bhp but I just don't like the look of it.

My problem with the majority of sports cars at the moment is that they are all getting so big and heavy. They need 500bhp to go the same as a 15yr old car with 300bhp :-(

The other car its going to be in competition with is the new Audi R8, which Evo mag reckon is better then the 911. Thats a pretty tall statement as nothing has ever beaten a 911 in tests in the mag.

In went round their test circuit faster than a Koeniggsigg (sp?)

Newer cars also have to deal with Tougher emission regulation's too :headvswal Most of our Zeds didn't have too! except for the later ones!

Yeah that as well. You want to try an Rx7 for emissions!!

It has a competitor.......

Showdown 2008: Nissan GT-R to Meet Lexus LFA on Corvette's Turf

 

 

 

AutoWeek, deep into its future products predictions, reports on a couple of Japanese performance cars that could redefine the sportscar landscape. The first is the long-awaited, all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R, which AW says will arrive as a 2008 model. It'll largely be a competitor to the Chevrolet Corvette, immune from Japanese competition for decades, and priced in the $60,000 range. From Lexus, the LF-A -- introduced in concept form at the 2005 Geneva show -- will reportedly vault the brand over Porsche in the sports-car wars. To be unveiled in fall 2007, coinciding with the Japan Formula One race moving to Toyota's turf, the LF-A, says AW, will get a 500-hp V8, not the V10 as had been in the works. The price had been reported to be $170,000, placing it in range of Aston Martin and out of the range of all but the most well heeled. Set your calendars now.

 

As long as its better than that god-awful 430 thing that lexus brought out!

2 really nice cars there but i just love the look of the gtr.
