GT-R speculation: More tech details emerge - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ZilviaBot · 08-13-2007, 11:30 AM

The GT-R may be the most eagerly anticipated Nissan in the history of the Japanese automaker. New information has been coming to us in a steady leak for months, and this time we're getting more details from the folks over at 7tune. Nissan's VQ family of engines won't apply to Nissan's affordable supercar, instead a new VR designation will befit a new 3.8-liter V6 with twin turbos and a bad-ass output of 480hp. Nissan will use plenty of high-quality, light weight materials, like titanium for the intake valves, a carbon fiber hood, and magnesium alloy for the oil pan, cam covers, and exhaust, while Variable Valve Event Lift (VVEL) will help crank out maximum power and efficiency. Nissan is using a platform that they term "Midship Premium", and much of the weight is being concentrated in the middle of the car for better handling.

We're as excited about the coming of the GT-R as most of you are, and the more we hear about Sir Ghosn's crowned jewel, the better it sounds.

Maybe the tooth fairy will bring me one of those.

Not likely, but here's to wishing.

Who the hell is 7tune and who made them the authority on GTR specs? LOL
. Oh ya and I just read their site blurb about Holiday Magazine supposedly having the Specs. Thats about as good as the Pre ads Nissan throws out to test the market place on a lot of their upcoming cars. Hell the G35/Skyline had a pre ad stating it was going to be FF.
I put there whole page down to: We are a tuning shop in Australia and we want you guys to pay more attention to us. Even though we are not authorities on this info and its speculative second hand at best.
