Well, for a black, this get's pretty close doesn't it?

The opal black is a dark purple metallic, that looks cool and a nice throwback.

[QUOTE=NickM;1034205]I don't think the people that buy the Spec-V will be too concerned with the price, they will be looking for the exclusivity more than anything else. I don't know how many will be made but I'm sure demand will greatly exceed supply.

That might work in Japan as you say. Wouldn't work here though, where an '05 F430 is £75k and an '07 997 Turbo is £65k vs £150k for a SpecV.

agreed, but as is said the specV is not for sale outside of japan. not even sure they're planning to release it anywhere else, especially now the yen is so strong. personally i'd take an 05 430 over a GTR specV....

I wonder if this release will now start to give us some visibility on when Nissan will finally release the low weight race version (i.e. Evo spec, LM spec, whatever spec at 1,550kg max). That will be the one to get, despite the crazy price tag that will accompany it.

Guy, think again!

This is can be nothing other than a marketing initiative from Nissan. With every luxury car dumping its guts in the world, there's no way there can be any profiteering expected from this.

I agree with sean, needed more value. That gearbox housing is just unacceptable, more suited to a Kia.

Personaly
This car will probably perform better on a clean track as Suzuka or Fuji, then on the Ring. The standard GTR has shown that it masters the Ring, so is basicly bullet prove to race on any comon road in japan, so this one has to offer something more, as it doesn't offer staggering 100HP more power.
I spoke with a Nissan sales manager who drove an R35 with the Nismo Club Sport Package on Fuji and he thinks that the suspension would be too hard for the Ring. So I presume that the Spec-V will be too hard as well.

I bet the Spec-V will take some secondes off from a standard R35 GTR version II on a track like Suzuka, as the harder suspension and possibly to that effect, reprogramed AWD will give you even more control in high speed corners. The exhaust systhem should actually ad at least 20HP, despite Nismo claiming it gives just benefits to the response.

Will ask a hole in the Nismo representatif tomorrow at the TAS09.

tokyogtr · 8th January 2009, 01:33 PM

i'm surprised they didn't fit harnesses and remove the sub woofer. i guess specV II will be a less luxurious, totally stripped track version?

i must say though that i can't think of any cars that are road legal that could beat the specV at fuji speedway.
