Exclamation Nissan Canada announces price of 2009 GT-R

Well, here's what we've all been waiting for!

Mississauga, Ontario - Nissan Canada has announced that its new 2009 GT-R sports car will go on sale in July at certified Nissan GT-R dealers with a base price of $81,900.

One model will be offered in Canada, in a choice of six colours, and will include an eleven-speaker customized Bose Audio system, standard navigation system and Z-rated performance tires.

The GT-R features an all-new, hand-built VR-series 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, producing an estimated 480 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, with all-wheel drive and an all-new six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Its lap time of 7 minutes, 38 seconds around the Nurburgring Nordschleife is one of the fastest achieved by a production-spec vehicle to date.

I guess it is reasonably priced compared to a Porsche.

More like 300 lbs if you're talking about its nearest Porsche competitor, the 911 Turbo.
