the new GTR id was launched today... :bow:

Now if you had the keys to that or a Veyron and was told yoou could keep 1 but you wernt allowwed to sell it. which one would you drive away in.

 

Yep the veyron, so its not teh best car in the world. close, but no cigar

not even close is it.

the veyron is a great car but an absolute pig ugly car IMO so if i had the choice and could sell it i would have the GTR.

yeh but the veron is nearly £1m english pounds

 

the gtr is going to be around £60k and rising upto around £75k for the top spec one so its going squarly at the porka market i recon ;)

looks like a 350z with a few extra lines to it. i would not call it ground breaking, design wise at least.

Ah-hah, but isn't that like saying an R8 looks like a TT, until you see one in the flesh? :p

 

I agree there's design elements of the 350 in there, particularly at the front, but I can't wait to see one in the flesh -this is a performance bargain - why's there no UK site though, only Eire? Doesn't bode well for importing IMO...

guess thats true!

Mind you - perhaps I should look harder at the list of sites before making "eyesight" related points!!! :smash: There's UK, large as life at the bottom of the list - doh!

Is it going to have a manual version or Slush Box only

Is it going to have a manual version or Slush Box only

 

Come on now, man! Calling that gearbox a slush box is not strictly fair. Especially if you haven't driven the car yet. I prefer manual myself also, but i have to say some of the auto boxes these days really are very good, indeed. I was driving an M6 recently and I can tell you it is unbelievable how good the gearbox it is... honestly (and engine and clutch, for that matter). As for veyron... well personally if women didn't exist (!) and the running costs were the same (or free) and both cars were produced in equal quantites (equally scarce) I honestly would prefer to DRIVE a GTR every day with our driving conditions. I wouldn't mind owning a Veyron though. It is rather special... but to drive... Honestly I'm sure it would be much more pleasurable again... for me... I think... :smw:

Well, I've registered my details for updates - although, unless business goes really well, I suspect it may be a little dear for me - lol! 2009 seems a way off at the mo - assuming they do decide to bring it here.

 

However, last time I did that, I ended up with one of the first 350s in the UK - so who knows... Speaks volumes that I'm back in a 300 though, I guess...

cant access that site what's the specs?

I think it's 478 horse but what's more important is that it beats a 911 turbo on the germans track by 2 seconds!!! and costs just over half as much on basic spec for both cars!!! :tongue:
