"The coming Nissan GT-R is a world-class supercar: Nissan claims top speed of 193 mph, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, a 473 hp, 433 lb ft twin-turbo V6 mounted in the front and driving all four wheels through a rear-mounted transaxle. Take a breath. Okay, continue. And a dual-clutch six-speed automatic you can operate via paddles on the steering wheel.

Chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno said the new GT-R was designed and engineered as an all-around, all-season, all-weather car that is comfortable to drive every day, even at normal speeds on a normal day.

The 3.8-liter VR38 V6 is an evolution of the award-winning VQ engine family. It sits up front, with two of its six cylinders forward of the front axle and four aft. Two bagel-sized IHI turbos sit right at the exhaust manifold for quick response. The 433 lb ft of torque rails across the tach from 3200 to 5200 rpm. Peak 473 hp comes at 6400 revs.

A carbon fiber prop shaft runs back to the transaxle, incorporating the clutch, transmission and transaxle altogether. The shifting is done via a direct, twin-clutch system. One clutch handles the odd gears and another clutch handles the even ones. Shifts take 0.2 seconds. There are BorgWarner triple-cone synchronizers for all gears. Another shaft runs forward from that transaxle to send power to the front wheels. Engineers say that below 25 mph the torque split is 50/50, above that, under normal driving, the split is 40/60. But it can split up to 2/98 under hard acceleration.

The car rides on 20-inch wheels wrapped by Bridgestone Potenza RE070s, 255/40 in front and 285/35 rears. Behind those wheels there are 15.2-inch ventilate cross-drilled Brembo brakes. Front suspension has upper and lower A-arms and the rear was a five-link.

The GT-R lists quarter-mile time at 11.7 seconds. Top speed is listed at 193 mph.

There are three settings for the Bilstein Damptronic shocks: R, Sports and Comfort.

While the coefficient of drag is an impressive 0.27, more than almost any production car, the GT-R also produces downforce at each axle, something very few production cars can claim.

The GT-R rides on Nissan?s new PM platform, PM meaning Prime Midship. It?s an evolution of the ubiquitous FM platform that sits underneath everything from 350Zs to crossover SUVs.

The PM incorporates a ?hybrid superstructure body.? There is carbon-injected material in the front end and carbon composite material underneath for aerodynamic downforce. There?s even some polypropylene in the body, too. In any case, it?s not just another FM variant.

The GT-R will be worth somewhere in the low-$70,000 range. We?ll know for sure when it enters U.S. showrooms in May or June. Japan will get first crack at it, we get second and the Europeans will have to get it third.

You don't have to read, just for those who want too.
So how, its a good or bad day for GTR lovers. They finally are coming out with it in the states. But its not the same car, it runs on the new VR38 V6 engine. That in truth is sorta the stab in the back for GTR lovers. Because the legendary motor it use to run on was the RB26DETT engine, that was a Inline 6. A lighter engine.

Just wanting to full you in, I feel sad about today
