So this car a 2-seater or 4-seater?
One thing if the LF is going to be a V8, they should just use the engines from their F1 cars which have over 700hp, and get them to run on proper fuel, if the Skyline GT, is going to be like 3.8L V6TT and 450hp.
Because a 5.0L V8 and over 500hp doesnt cut it anymore.
And than the LF would be in the Saleen S7 territory, yet that thing is a V8TT and 7.0L engine anyways.
I would love to see a V8 3.0L 700hp in the LF, would make a hell of alot of noise but hey they will figure out something, hopefully the engine wont blow up LOL

OMG.....
This car is obviously sooo close to production and looking just as sweet as the concept! The overall performance/power and innovation Nissan has displayed lately will all come to a head in the new GT-R.
And @ $70 - $75k it will be worth every penny!
That'll be about the time I need a "performance fix".

the performance wise the GTR will be on par with the new 997 TT?? OMG!! so 450Hp or more hp will be true then.. 
So new the GTR is aiming on the 997TT....
I just hope they are not aiming on 997TT's price too/

Wow, if those rims make it to production...I'll be so proud of Nissan. First ever stock rim that looks good! 
I think this Skyline looks real good and the pricetag is what will make it a gem. But what demographic are they targeting?

One thing if it comes to North America, will it still be under Nissan or under Infiniti? Seeing Nissan has the 350Z and Infiniti has the G35, which they would probably replace with the Skyline GT-R if its in the $70k+ USD range, but thats just me.

This car really hot. Looks monstrous, sporty, cool, powerful and just plain bad to the bone. Hopefully, all the guys that put Skyline badging on their G35's will stop. The G35 is not a Skyline.

have had mine on order since last year, damn waiting for this beast is just making me rip off my hair!~ i could just imagine ripping 1st and 2nd gears under 4 seconds. at the current moment, of my knowledge theres only 4 that will be in the LA area. it will be released stateside as a Nissan at about $85,000. pretty steep. the bmw m3 shouldn't be compared to the gtr but im sure it won't be too much slower 
i'd like to have nismo ready for parts because the Porsche GT2 will be out around that time and i think it will be a tad faster the GTR in stock form.

I've heard several times the car will be wearing the Nissan badge....which I don't agree with but I guess it really doesn't matter.
