Spied: 2008 Nissan GT-R

Spy photographers caught what appears to be a production prototype of the 2008 Nissan GT-R. The car was seen in testing at the Nürburgring this week in Germany.

The car is based on the highly popular Nissan GT-R concept, first unveiled in late 2005. Earlier this year, the Japanese automaker announced the GT-R would be badged as a Nissan, much to the disappointment of Infiniti dealers. Since unveiling the concept, Nissan has tried to limit the car's exposure to prevent tiring the public.

Pricing is expected somewhere around $70,000. When Nissan first previewed the concept, it said the show car was 80 to 90 percent representative of the final shape. Rumors have indicated the car will feature a 3.2 liter twin turbo V6 engine with 480 horsepower. It is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in Fall 2007, followed by the U.S. and Canada in Spring 2008.

Wow. I like the overall shape, very edgy and futuristic. The pipes are pretty big too, it will sure be a Vette contender.

I was just going to post this!

You've beaten me

As for the Skyline, it's shaping up nicely and i'm glad to see such little camo on it.

man im wating like crazy for this car..im sure this will be something out of the ordinary....cant wait

this car will be absolutely awsome, those are some fat exhaust pipes, i am still undecided if the rear wing looks good or not, can someone do a photoshop and remove the rear wing ?

Any numbers or rumors about them?

the covered rear remind my of a Corvette.

Soon somebody will start bitching that they copied the R8.

I didnt say anything about copying. All we see is a covered rear, who in the hell want to copy a covered rear.
