Tokyo auto show: 2009 Nissan GT-R

^M00:00:01 [ Music ] ^M00:00:06 >> Has any car been more anticipated in the last decades? People were salivating for a Nissan Skyline GTR when I was a teenager. Well now it finally hits the US and hits it hard. This is gonna be a 70,000 dollar Nissan so it has to bring something new to the table and it does--power. The power is gonna come from a 3.8 liter twin turbo, V6 doing 473 horsepower, 434 foot pound of torque. That's good for 0 to 60 in 3 and one-half seconds. The cockpit is deliciously retro. Look at the big round gauges in that squarish pod; all kinds of switch gear for drive-train controls and a cool set of virtual gauges that are one of the mods of that LCD monitor. The GTR comes to the US in summer of '08. You don't have long to save up that 70 grand. ^M00:00:57 [ Music ] ^M00:01:03
