It looks fugly in the pictures, maybe it will be one of those cars that pictures don't do it justice. Wasn't the price rumored to be around $80k or something? I also thought it was going to be an Infiniti.

The Skyline GTR will be competition to 911 Turbo, that's Nissans benchmark for the GTR. The GTR will come in 3 trims, the "entry-level" version will come equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox and will cost around $56,840, The next step up would be the V-spec version, that gets a seven-speed DSG which will cost around $68,600. Then in future Nissan will be selling the evolution GTR which will be around $90,000 because its going to be all carbon-fiber. GTR will have 2 superchargers and 500HP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QymCN0_1yE

GTR will have 2 superchargers and 500HP.
Everything I have read has said it will be twin-turbo.

I'd have to agree. I didn't hear the fatest bit of whine coming from a blower in that video. A blown v6 making 500 hp with 2 superchargers would make an incredible amount of noise I would think. Hell, the Saturn is pretty loud, you can hear it inside and outside the car, and its only a 4 cylinder with 200hp.

I fail to see how a twin turbo 7 speed dsg with awd is too late and not wtf wow.
I think it's kickass myself, but I don't think it will sell well.

If this car runs with a 911 turbo, for MUCH less, I think it's a winner. It is no Z06, but then again that money will probably get you more space, more comfort, and better all around refinement. Most 500hp cars with any sort of civility cost more than this will.

I'm thinking by 09 there will be a plethera of pony cars with 500+ HP going for sub 55k.

That thing looks hawt. For 80k I don't see too many cats who will dive in, but 450whp and awd twin turbo is an excellent platform to start with. A few mods it'll probably outpace a stock c6 z06

for the price i'd much rather have an r32.
+1. I'm much more enamored with the squared-off brick shithouse school of automotive design than this overstyled crap.

Not every car can be blessed with SUPER-iAWACS-HIBISCUS AWD. Actually, I heard that for 09, the GT-R will have a viscous HIBISCUS AWD system. Impressive stuff. Yea, just one of the world's most advanced systems attached to a car that has repeatedly shattered records. But I guess it won't ever be shit to guys like you 
Sorry. I'll start nut swinging.
