Agreed. For £100k I would expect it to be a little more track focused.

Saying that, I've not seen anything relating to its performance so it might be there and we just have to wait for the details.

I was about to say that too! Lovely pearly color, return of the MP-like colors!

To import that into the UK at todays FX rates would make it £150k - crazy!!!!!

i don't think this is being targetted at anyone outside of japan.

the price of a porsche turbo is Yen20m on the road. a GT2 is Yen27m.

I guess Nissan are thinking that as long as they stay a few million away from the turbo then plenty of people will want it. I guess they've also spoken to current owners who have absolutely no need for the rear seats but do want better performance. i'm not saying i agree with this but i'm pretty sure this is how the specV came about.

the question now is, if the gtr in standard form was meant to beat the porsche turbo, does the specV beat the GT2? certainly the GT2 is lacking 4WD and a large trunk but now there's much much less separating them in terms of cost. and one must assume the porsche branding is worth a few million too.

i think so few of the specV's will enter the 2nd hand market that they won't have a dramatic affect of the GT-R prices. they're plummeting all by themselves... they don't need the specV to help with that!

i must say though, if they offer those carbon ceramic brakes as a retrofit then i'm grabbing a set!

edit:

just to add, this 2005 430 is for sale at the dealer for Yen19m. i've heard you can get than down by a couple of mil now. so Yen17m for an 05 430 or Yen16.5m for a gt-r specV.....

Sure the new black is nice ,but I would have thought on the spec v a complete new colour would be added by Nissan , Bayside blue ,MP 2 or something differant.
