We've reported previously on both a club racer and a V-Spec version of the Nissan GT-R, and it's now apparent that they are both very different beasts. The V-Spec variant will be in the same mold as the previous versions offered, with Japan's Best Car citing a 220-pound diet, 30 more horsepower with upgraded binders and suspension components.

The racing version, previously shown in spy shots, is equipped with a full roll cage, a significantly revised suspension and a nice set of Volk TE37s that are also featured in last week's Best Car article.

[IDAFC21]

god damn that thing sounds hot

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

eh not a fan of the way it sounds

 

[supraphiliac]

That made me wet. I have to go clean up now.

 

[Bru]

holy shit. Listen to how fast that sequential gearbox shifts. And notice how he never lets off the gas during the corners.

 

[Mook]

the vspec is gonna be a beast

 

[Bru]

We all knew it was coming.

 

[Mook]

whats gonna be even better is if they produce a limited run bearing the Nur spec batch....that was the tits on the r34

Were any of you in Band in middle school or high school? That thing sounds like it has a couple trumpets or trombones for exhaust pipes. Gotta love that noise, only thing finer is probably the V8 cosworth F1 engines from the 70s. Atleast for me it is.

only 200 lbs off... that fat pig needs to lose more weight. otherwise i love everything else about it

 

[ZenDex]

I want

 

[Mook]

wait a tick....does this mean theres more than the just 3 people on the site who like the new GTR?

 

[flip240]

I love the GTR, but that last thread with people bashing it and posting other pics instead of it made me not want to post

 

[Chitowngst]

Fuck that sounds sick. What a monster. :::drool::: Was that OE exhaust?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i love it too!!!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i think the people who dont like it are just scared....

 

[Mook]

its probably like a nismo exhaust or something....its gonna have like an extra 40 so my guess is they reworked the exhaust a bit more

 

[ZenDex]

i think the people who dont like it are just scared....

Agreed, either your instantly in love....or in some type of denial.

The car is an INCREDIBLE feat of engineering for such a great price. I cant think of any car thats got better bang for the buck and is practically a religion. I also dont care how american or european bias you are, you gotta admit japan got this car right!

Cept a Catheram or other kit car....thoes r like 40 grand and crazy fast in every way, but you cant daily drive it and its not exactly comfortable or stylish. I bet its suicide in the snow, little tiny light weight car like that...

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

the only 2 arguments I've heard from people against it is "it looks like a G35 with celica headlights" and i bet a ZL1 is faster..."

LAME!

 

[Mook]

i dont think anyone is really denying what the car can do...most just dont like the way it looks....and its taken a lot for it to grow on me....i cant wait to see it in person tho

 

[Euro]

I just don't like most imports...

In my opinion, the GT-R is the single best engineered production car on the planet because it is as fast as it is (1/4 and track), grips like it does and weighs what it weighs. What was the last 3800lb car that was in the top 2 around the Ring? The GT-R, because it's the only one. Imagine if there was a Spec Nur version and it was totally stripped out and clocked in at 2.9-3k lbs. That has the potential of being the best supercar, ever.

 

[Mook]

well if they're already thinking of doing a vspec model i would fully expect further down the road a vspecII...or even better would be a z-tune
