Sales people at Nissan will be taking pre-orders for the new GT-R super coupe as of tomorrow, which means there will be official brochures packed with crucial details for would be buyers. Nissan has released a press release with some initial details, the only important piece of info being that the new range will start at around 7.8 million yen (US$68,000).

Nissan announced that the base price for its new GT-R will be around $68,000. The price represents almost half the price of the new Porsche 911 Turbo but if we think that the performances are the same…this might be quite a good deal. The 3.8-litre engine of the new GT-R delivering 550 bhp offers almost the same performances as the Porsche 911 Turbo. The sprint from 0-100 km/h is in 3.8 seconds, exactly the same time as the new Porsche 911 Turbo.

The GT-R ( Nissan announced that the car will drop the Skyline name ) will make its official debut next month at the Tokyo Motor Show and will be offered in six colors: Dark Metal Blue, Super Black, Titanium Gray, Vibrant Red, Ultimate Metal Silver and White Pearl. The last two colors,Ultimate Metal Silver and White Pearl will raise the price of the car a bit more.
The car will be offered in three different trim levels which includes a Base, Premium and Black Edition.The buyers of the base edition will be able to choose between black an gray while the buyers of the Black Edition will get only the black colour.
Nissan will offer for the new GT-R a Bose sound system but only at Premium edition. The buyers of the Base and Black Edition will have to pay a little more to get this system. The Premium Edition will feature also an anti-theft system. An extra option represents also the side and SRS curtain airbags.
