It looks like Nissan will be honoring the 50 year old GT-R nameplate with this offering, unlike the successors of any other Japanese supercar (read NSX, Supra, RX-7).

I think it will be a performance bargain and will sell out shortly after it's release.

Starting to look nicer. Didn't sound too bad either wish I could hear a WOT pull.

One detail we were able to make out is the set of steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for the transmission. As we reported previously, the 2009 Skyline won't get a manual gearbox. Whether that means we'll be stuck with a traditional automatic or a newly developed dual clutch setup similar to Volkswagen's DSG setup is still unclear.

NO MANUAL!?!????!?!

Im disappointed... It didnt shoot a fireball. lol Those wheels look better now then in the previous gas station pic. As for this car not coming with a manual transmission, that would be hard to believe but I guess we'll just have to wait and see about that.

As long as it's a DSG I'm fine with no manual. Good sport automatics shift faster than humans anyway, if you really wanna get all hardcore about track use.

it just looks too chunky compared to all the other cars it is going against, even a viper looks slim compare to this porker.

itll almost certaintly have a manual option. even the new g35 sedan does.
they probably picked a prototype with an auto tranny to test on the streets. it makes sense..
