Red GTR

[b3GS]

we have a GTR here as a press car. Nissan has very strict restrictions on who can drive it.. so unfortunately, I won't be able too :bang

Flappy pedals behind the steering wheel...:)

[Fobio]

what do you do and when are you guys hiring?!

[b3GS]

I work as a sr. graphic designer for Carguide magazine and World of Wheels

[Fobio]

that's a sweet gig...

what kinda of experience/skills will one need if they want to pursue a career in auto-journalism/car testing?

[Nick]

that rear shot looks baaaaaaad, i like! =]

[Garu]

Jeebus...
I'd so kill for that car.

Ahhhh, makes sense... So you'd put it in "drive" and then use the finger-shifters?

well to be a writer, you'd have to have some sort of journalism and or english degree, or just a boatload of writing experience.

but I'm not really sure. not my department. :chuckle

[SilentJay]

Great. Just great. Anyone have a towel?

[Mafty]

ahhhhh thakn you for full shots, hot hot hot car. the top gear thing they did on this car makes it seem out of this world the wya each engine,tranny etc are built custom for each car by hand

Looks amazing... Love the start/stop button. Don't really understand how the shifter would work... :chuckle

The car looks very easy to use, hold onto the brakes and hold start button to start car with smart key anywhere inside the car. Turn everything into R hold it tehre for a few seconds. Pull the lever all the way down then move it to the right to get Sport mode. Then touch the steering wheel pedal to get complete control of manual mode. Off you go just like something out of a PS3!

$150000 in your bank account should qualify. :chuckle.. these things are selling a bit above msrp I heard.


Edit: where is the intercooler?? don't see any in pics. I'm sure those massive turbo needs a lot of cooling

[Unoriginalusername]

I want one. you see this weeks top gear on it?

[mleblond]

Top gear crashed one http://jalopnik.com/398945/top-gear-crashes-nissan-gt+r

they say the car drives itself with all the computers controling everything. Makes a mediocre driver look good :chuckle

[LockOut]

UoU, I'm sure the baby seat will fit in the back :chuckle

[Unoriginalusername]

Love Nissan/Infiniti cars!!!

[McGuyver_3]

Love the car BUT EPIC FAIL ON THE TRANSMISSION

[wongpres]

Love the car BUT EPIC FAIL ON THE TRANSMISSION

From http://www.nissan.ca

- GR6 6-speed dual clutch transmission with three driver-selectable modes (Normal, R-Mode, Snow); each transmission hand-crafted in a clean-room environment
- Fully automatic shifting or full sequential manual control via steerin-gcolumn-mounted paddle shifter
- Downshift Rev Matching
- Predictive pre-shift control (in R-Mode) pre-selects the next gear change based on throttle position, vehicle speed, braking input and other information


Sounds pretty good to me.

So does vtec on paper but in the real world that will still get people laughing at you.... a proper manual and it'd be my desktop lol

[silvermist99]

It maybe look gay having a D mode on the shifter like a buick, but these trannies are SO good to race with.

[Dan Da Man]

soo soo sweet.

[boogie]

I wonder if this was the same GTR I saw on the 401 on Saturday. Beautiful Car...
