As far as I've understood there was a number of GT-Rs reserved for each country. I guess it was to make sure that every country with a HPC would get GT-Rs so that their investment to become a HPC wouldn't be totally worthless. I know that the Swedish HPC spent over £100k to become a HPC.

But after the initial order batch which was between 2-6 April 2008 I beliave, orders are now first come, first served. And it doesn't just apply to your country but for all of Europe. So if a lad in Spain orders one 1minute before you do, you'll be after him in line. Don't know if this is correct though, but this was my father was told from the HPC some time ago.

In Spain is going to be 100 units... Thats what my dealer said me.

And what Yakozan has said: "So if a lad in Spain orders one 1minute before you do, you'll be after him in line." is the same I know... I asked it in my HPC.

As is already read on many websites each country have a fixed continengent, swiss have for example 90 GT-R's which are already all sold. As there are over 110 orders Nissan Swiss is trying to get a bigger contingent.

We in Belgium, get the amazing number of ..


15 cars (+5 for press and pub = 20 in total)

I wonder if this is profitable for my dear HPC dealer

20 in Holland too, but this is for the first round of orders (2009 non satnav). From then on (IE from 2010 delivery) it will be as Yakozan said.

Contingent for Switzerland was 90
In April the Orders made 110

The number of cars scheduled for Europe is significantly less than Nissan Europe want and orders have far exceeded forecasts. As a result Nissan Europe and NMGB are requesting more cars be shipped. Final numbers have yet to be agreed therefore.

[Sayen]

The contingent for europe is 1500 cars (2009)
Dont now where i read it sorry, but i belive its true...

It may, or may not be relevant. However at Goodwood there was comment that "Europe" had ordered 6000 R35's already and that anyone ordering 'now' would be lucky to see a car before early 2010.

It may be market hype, it may not. However clearly the car is very popular amongst the non-previous GTR Skyline community based on price/performance (the R35 is not in the previous Godzilla mould). If that will continue to hold up against the new direct injection 997? Well your guess is as good as mine.
