I know this has been brough up before, but I figured i would post the official press release. Basically, although it's not that much faster, it will be more capable of lasting on the track. Roll cage FTW lol. My manager told me these will be available in North America, but he's not sure about pricing. There is an email you can contact though for more info. ***UPDATE***Confirmed by Nissan it's $150k!
