No próximo salão de Genebra já vamos saber o preço do GT-R para o mercado europeu.

Three ‘stars’ on display showing Nissan’s commitment to passionate performance, design, innovation and technology: GT-R New Murano Pivo 2 GT-R The hotly anticipated Nissan GT-R represents Nissan’s passion for cars and driving, providing exceptional performance thanks to its all-new 3.8 V6 twin-turbo engine. Producing 353kW (480PS) and 588Nm, which is transmitted to its four wheels through one of the most advanced all-wheel drive systems ever developed, via a transaxle mounted dual-clutch, paddle-shift operated gearbox. Driver adjustable suspension, gearbox and stability control settings tune the GT-R’s dynamic characteristics according to the conditions or preferred style of driving. This adaptability reinforces the central philosophy behind the GT-R; the supercar for anyone, anytime, anywhere. While the GT-R is as happy to drive sedately in an urban environment, its impeccable sporting credentials have been underlined by its lap of 7m38s at the legendary Nordschleife [Nürburgring] circuit in Germany, one of the fastest times ever recorded by a production car.

Sales of the GT-R will start from March 2009 and European prices and specifications will be announced at the show, as will details of the network strategy to support the car’s sales and service.

Midnight Club: R8 vs GT-R

Midnight Club: R8 vs GT-R

Este artigo no TopGear está simplesmente espectacular. A não perder.

Tokyo's infamous nocturnal racers are the Godfathers of 21st century car culture, the most honourable law-breakers you'll ever find. Before YouTube, before Gran Turismo, before the internet, before mobile phone cameras, before mobile phones, we'd all heard about these guys - bankers, lawyers, businessmen, who knows what else - seeking out the double ton on Tokyo's elevated expressways and beyond.

A noite em Tóquio deve ser qualquer coisa![br:)]

Inching through a 60-mile tailback on London's heinous orbital, the R8 was sublime: easy to drive, smooth, multi-purpose (good wipers too). The ultimate supercar, in fact. Now, on the other side of the world, it faces the GT-R. The year's other ultimate multi-purpose supercar.

The GT-R is smooth enough at low speed, although progress is punctuated by heavy-duty clunks and groans from the rear transaxle. It's a good clunking, though. More even than its 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6, the Nissan's transmission is a thing of wonder.
Its twin-clutch (one for the odd gears, the other for the even ones) dual shift gearbox is mounted - along with the centre differentials -in a single rubber-bushed unit, independent of the rest of the car. It helps optimise weight distribution but must have cost a fortune to develop. Its shifts are as fast as hell at high speed, but the 'box handles city stuff brilliantly too. A duality which gives clues to the GT-R's overall genius...

They might be different in concept, execution and feel, but this much is true: the R8 and GT-R are both incredible.

The GT-R is monstrously good. Three switches on the dash control the transmission (fast or f**k-me fast up and down-shifts, complete with meaty throttle blips), suspension (race, sport or comfort settings) and vehicle dynamics (stability control on or off).
But the GT-R locks on like a missile. (Polyphony missed a trick not fitting a display for that.) Apparently, it'll do a standing quarter mile in 11.7 seconds, and that feels about right. Seriously, this thing hooks up and accelerates like a Bugatti Veyron. The rapidity of the gearbox's upshifts - the Veyron has a DSG, remember - is one reason; the sheer devastating wallop of the engine is another.

The result? I seriously doubt there is a car on the planet that can corner faster or more aggressively than this. On a super-fast, fourth-gear left-hander, it will not be moved. On the same corner, the Audi can, and does, move. That's the difference. It's simultaneously less impressive and yet somehow more involving. Strange as it sounds, it's the R8 - a four-wheel drive Audi of all things - that really plugs you into this sort of road, and feeds back what it finds more effectively through the wheel. The GT-R is so fast that it'll already be contemplating the next corner.

In the Nissan, you get the feeling that the car could probably go even faster if it didn't have you, a mere human being, dicking about at the wheel. The GT-R is part car, part Terminator.
And it's no loser. It's a landmark, an engineering masterpiece. It's much faster than the Audi and goes harder generally.And when it lands in the UK in March 2009, it will cost £55,000. A bargain. By then, a lighter V Spec version will have broken cover, too. A future Car of the Year? Don't bet against it.

The R8 is fantastic in a way that will appeal more to true car enthusiasts; lithe, agile, beautifully engineered. It's even got soul,
a remarkable achievement for an Audi.

Carro do diabo! Tenho uma L'automobile com um ensaio ao R34 GT-R e chamam-lhe Le Nissan du diable! Isto caso esteja bem escrito!

Que fenómeno de carro! Eu tinha medo do que a nissan iria fazer uma vez que adoro toda a série R3X, estes tipos mereciam uma homenagem! enfim, estou maluco [:D]
