Godzila Is Back ( Skyline Gtr ) Hits The Market On June .

[kotte mafia]

godzila is back

Identity

This is the descendant of the Skyline GT-R, one of the most mystical Japanese cars. Hondas and Toyotas can't come close to the excitement that emanates from this beauty.

Enough with all this admiration. The GT-R is no longer classified as a sports car in the Skyline family, but is in a class of its own. The Nissan GT-R is becoming one of the best sports cars in the market and beginning to intimidate a great number of supercars.

Headlines

3.8L V6, 480 hp, AWD, ATESSA ETS system

4.65m long, 1740 kg. (3835 lbs)

Sequential gearbox, twin clutch, paddles

0 to 100 km/h : 3’’6,

Top speed : 320 km/h = 200 mp/h ( electronically limited to 180km/h in Japan ).

Price : 8 347 500 yens ( approx 53 000 € or 78.000 $ or 39.500 £)

Design.

The new GT-R's impressive features and aggressive body differentiate her from all her predecessors. It cannot be mistaken for any other car on the market, no thought about it. On the road, and even in Japan, our GT-R exudes a particular sense of uniqueness that will turn anyone's head.

Interior.

Quality plastic, aluminum, leather in abundance, excellent presentation. Although the overall level isn't up to Porsche 911 or Audi R8, the GT-R isn't far behind. The differences between a standard Nissan or even Infiniti is striking, even though they share some elements as with the steering wheel (half aluminum, leather).

On-board computer control was designed by the creator of the "Gran Turismo" video game. It sports a GPS and displays a great deal of information concerning car condition.

On the road.

You need to drive this GT-R to understand the significance of its release since the Tokyo Motor Show. Even Carlos Ghosn has no lasting words to describe the passion and admiration he has for the Skyline. The acceleration is spectacular and impressive, it out performs the Lamborghini Gallardo Supperleggera, Ferrari F430, and the 911 turbo with a 0-100 km/h in 3"6. What else is there to say other than its twin turbo are mind-blowing and will literately pin you to your seat when ignited. As for road performance; the handling is prodigious, like a train on rails. Various configurations of three buttons are also available from the main console, the driver can adjust the suspension settings, gear ratios, front/rear balance, and stability control while taking sharp curves. In mode "R" the GT-R turns into a wild beast! It's a true racing car with its frame and gear box; already excellent in normal mode, it comes close to a F1 gear box. The GT-R brakes as strong as it accelerate (36 meters from 100 km/h to full stop, comparable to the best Porches). With no sign of fading, the Skyline GT-R tradition is here to stay and impress.

Plus:

Everything !

Minus:

What minus? Are you kidding me? Oh just one, if only the GT-R could sing as well as a Gallardo.

Conclusion:

Great design, comfortable in all aspects. You will immediately fall in love with this beast. All this for 8,000,000 Yen (51,000 Euros), half the asking price for a 911 turbo.

Nissan has accomplished the impossible... Put their competitors on their knees. They have perpetuated the Skyline tradition in the best possible way

so people ( all u sports car owners all u CIVIC's,supra's,EVO's,WRX sti's give it up or eat the dirt off the rims of beast) time to find a shelter and hide from the streets .......COS GODZILA IS BACK

[TomaHAWK]

It is already in UK, sort of grey import, the guy brought the car is a car importer, but he will not be able to sell it yet, used for his private pleasure.

Have seen some track info (@ Silverstone) against M3, A8 and 911. Surely a great sport car, making a new comer for this range. UK price is around £55k. hey cheaper than 911.

WRX/ Evo's can't compare with GT-R's as it come under different category, GT-R's not meant to be a in the rally world.

Love to drive it oneday, but not wanted to own new one, i'd rather stay with Evos, or R34's.

i think VWvortex was being sarcastic with his comment.... cos the GTR has been discussed in many a thread before before godzilla came around the corner

[Pericles]

Thats some strong marketing blurb. Tho honestly the civic comment is kinda off the mark. Civic never competed with Skys, thats what the NSX was for.

[kotte mafia]

hey guys no hard feelings i was just telling abt R 35 no need to make a big sean out of my post i like civics a lot and used to own an eg8 bak in SL ... those days were the days ... man green path .... pila house ... i can't compair GTR with the rest but in the local sean more money means more power ...u won't be able to race 911 in SL roads ( we don't hv enough tar to race on ) .. we hang around all to geather and show off with a quick sprint ... i kw GTR is pitching in a different leauge with the R8 , astin martins ,turbo 911's , crovates , ETC ... and damn .. R34 it's some thing which is really special ... wana show u some pics of my cuzs car we modified it to geather thoses days and used to look at it like if we were in love with the car man .... u kw the feeling boys and there toys .... can't open bloddy hi5 today so i wil post it later so cheers guys ... keep it real ... BURN RUBBER NOT UR SOUL thankz all for the comments and nice to meet ya all ...

[GTAm]

[kotte mafia]

Most Shocking is that they are supposedly putting out more power than claimed...... said to be more than 500hp - 570bhp...

So the V spec should be having more horses within.

Tell me where u own this car, what year it is, and what u have done to it to make ''550 Hps under the hood''? Its funny that ive seen pics of this car before with those tags on it... plus the Blackbird name was given to the car which was the 1st GTR to be filmed (before it received the new paint and bodykit) in the 2Fast2Furious movie which was imported into the U.S by Motorex at the time...the guys at the company called it their 'BlackBird'...hmmmm coincidence right?!?!?!?!? How do i know this...simple i have the offcial Fast and the Furious franchise book with all the cars and their histories.......

for someone living overseas (england or Australia i'm guessing) news of the new GT-R launch seems to have reached our friend pretty late.....

Btw is there a kotte outside of Sri Lanka?

At the same time, its pretty stupid to ask a SRI LANKAN car forum how much to sell a car at in some other country... maybe the poor dud hit his head somewhere in his R33 accident.. tsk tsk tsk...

PS: if it was MY car i would take some much MUCH nicer pictures of it than these... cos the R34 is a very photogenic car ( hint-andrew;) ) and these pictures are pretty crap...

Well, its too abd that you have a such an impression about AL. But see, the thing is there are many members who join AL and end up being quite active. But none of them had to come up with any such 'breaking news' or R34 with seat-belts to be active or to feel accepted. they just were. Hell almost everyone here was a new member at some point, its not like everybody suddenly met up up ont he road and said "hey lets all create a online car forum"....

OK, maybe you're not in Australia now.. its ok..... just chill, cut back on the bullshit and participate in discussions... and bullshit meaning thing like stating that the car puts out 550bhp, and other features the car may may not have.

well, sorry if we're a "creepy rude gang".... but the thing is we all like our fellow rude creeps, for we all have common creepy rude interests... thus our participation... you're welcome to join us and be a creep if you want to

but as for the rest of us we'll continue being a bunch of crazy creeps. Right guys?

PS: machang if you dont mind me asking, so what are you doing now? studying? working? where (just for my personal curiosity)

That has got to be the most painful post I've ever read on AL.. man even when your BS'ing try and freaking put your words together, just shows that not even you value what your typing! And FYI it's PILAWOOS!!! the only house we have is 'elephant house'!
