This is considered as the ultimate Nissan as it will be the successor to the very popular and highly respected Nissan Skyline. This car has such a following that a lot of people are importing a few older models to Canada by the boat-load. This is the reason why many are seeing more and more on the road.

Three trim levels are expected to be available when Nissan GT-R arrives - Stock, V Spec, and EVO Spec. The EVO will be available in limited quantities and one year or so after the initial launch. All models will have the same engine specs. Expect a 3.8L Twin Turbo V6 (not 3.7L), VQ37HR that will produce in the area of 450hp. 20-inch rims wearing 255/40 tires at the front and 285/35 at the rear will be lifted right off of the concept car. The wheels and engine will be linked together by an AWD and 4WS (4-wheel-steering) systems.

There is an unconfirmed news which is now spreading out the Nissan GT-R will have a power unit from the VQ engine family. But instead, a variation of the engine LeMans-developed R390 GT1 racer could find its way under the hood. Well, car enthusiasts should just wait for the launch of Nissan’s new mnodel to find out more about the engine used.

The Concept was designed with functional aerodynamics and identifiable character lines that reflect the previous versions of GT-R and their overall shape. The GT-R has the status of a legend just about everywhere in the World; people want one much like there are Corvette fanatics here. When it comes to North America, Nissan may have to work hard to convince those that can afford a GT-R to actually buy one. Younger enthusiasts, most of them without the necessary funds would not need to be convinced. Nissan may reserve the option to sell the GT-R as an Infiniti in the US and maybe even offer it with a V8 for marketing purposes.
