Awesome

That wouldn't be Jason P driving the yellow one would it?

Any info on their lap times Ben? Are they running the V8 NA or V6TT?

I agree

But the yellow doesn't look bad

They need a white one

NBM33 · 29th February 2008, 04:22 PM

Great Pics..

So what exactly do they share with the road cars, since they have different, engine, gearbox, wheels, tyres, brakes, bodyshell, interior and it's rwd.......?

L14M0 · 29th February 2008, 04:58 PM

I believe the entire roof structure including the a, b, c pillars are retained. They run the transaxle setup from the roadcars, although I don't know if it's the same unit but with different internals.

It looks like the rear portions with the afterburner lights are the same or nearly the same...

The badge!LOL Kind of like how DTM works I guess, although they share even less as they use a carbon monocoque chassis. Nismo/Autech are already developing the VR38DETT engine and if all goes well it should be introduced mid-way through this season. So after that it will be more of a GTR

Hello, very good pictures, I love the Calsonic version but I think that the Calsonic is better with wheels in white like the former version.
