Interesting...
They replace some parts with carbon fiber, gear boost control device, lightforged wheels,titanium coated exhaust,carbon ceramic brakes, "exclusive suspension" and tires cost 65k? That's crazy shiet... 140,000 for the GTR? Woof... Well they aren't even releasing the Spec V in the states, no? I'd rather get a standard GTR and cop a 370z

I think Nissan realized that they could've made a lot more money, so they decided to jack up the price for the "Spec-V" knowing that spoiled little kids and mid life crisis people will buy.

$7000 for the shocks - understandable, if they're really good $48000 for the brakes - lawl? $9000 for a SPOILER? - LAWL? And a whole splurge of junk that serves no performance purpose what-so-ever. Like the almost-$11000 front seat assembly pieces. |

It'll be a collectible, nothing more. Enthusiasts who actually want to drive will more than likely just buy a GT-R. Hey, maybe for that extra $70000, people will get a transmission worth a damn that has launch control and wont self-destruct after 10 launches? |

I read that it was getting a bump in HP from 480 to about 525hp!
And double the price. The hp should be closer to 600 for that kind of money. Man the japenese peeps are smoking crack.
