I'm at work so I can't open any video players.

NOW my question is! From this video did the car sound like V6 or V8?????

I read lots of sceptism from you guys. I think the car will be great! As I said the design is a bit controversial for our eyes right now but I believe when the final design is finnished with the front end changed a bit the car will look great. I've heard from the people who's seen the proto for real says the car look ALOT better in real then in the photos. Other word maybe the current impression the car isn't so photogenic but would look stunning in real which I believe even better when it's finnished. Oh well the US crowd seems to like this car and I think it will be a hit globaly.

If it's truely a 3.8 liter V6 then displacement is pretty decent for just 6 cylinder engine for Japan to make + turbos added even better. I suspect it should give a good low down torque with wide powercurve all the way up to the redline and bring torque closer to the horsepower. This should give good power through the gears with it's AWD.

Come on people, be a bit more positive, it's a GTR

about the video: the old proto is also inside . . . looks cool to me , the Porker is there, so they will surly not going to make a GTR that is just as good as the german rival, it will be better . . . . if not -why trying then?

Yeah...and they make cars sound like scooters....

I really hope I'm wrong, but I've driven an M6 and the 7-speed Getrag didn't make the "engine shift-note" sound like that

Dino what are the downsides of the CVT apart from not having the estatic pleasure when you do a perfect shift?

Couldn´t it be possible to select to drive the car as an auto when you don´t want to use the paddles? That way you get the option of using the box as a manual when you want and as an auto when you feel like cruising. That´s possible in some of the systems that are available in cars sold nowadays.

And the car still looks like Pacman with that blacked out a-pillar.

Other than that I quite like it.

Just my 2 ore here...

They will ask Paul Walker to drive it in the CMs. then it will sell

By the way does Paul still have an R32?

GTRJack · 13th October 2006, 06:07 PM

Looking at the video now

Diffecult to hear but it sounds like a V8. Does anyone agree?

ummm.. just listen to it again, maybe it's V6 then

Wish the reported could shutt up a bit so we could listen to the engine of the car more clearly

Howsie · 13th October 2006, 09:12 PM

As long as it shifts I don't care what it uses, I'm prepared to embrace it... hopefully!

andreasgtr · 13th October 2006, 11:28 PM

It´s got big opponents from the same league .
The new Audi R8 420 Hp top speed 301 km/h.
104.000,-€uros mid engine with top of the art technic and 1st class interior.
And it weighs 1560 kg´s let´s hope nissan isn´t going to put more weight on the new GTR than the R34 had.
Every company seems to bring up a 400+ hp "supercar" nowadays.

Yes you can do that but what usually happens is that the shift times become smoother and longer. On the GTR they seem to be instantaneous and sound very much like a torque converter or CVT with preset pulley ratios. Oh God I hope I'm wrong here

It does sound suspiciously like the 8 speed CVT thing that you can get on the current Skyline.
However, it always seemed very likely that the next GTR was going to have more than one transmission type available anyway....

Yep you are right there. Since they are trying to eat away at the Porsche market there is a good chance a few differnet specs of the GTR will be done. The 997 TT has a manual and AT option. But I hope the variations include a track spec model...as I'm sure this will attract 80% of sales...in Japan at least.
