Tokyo, Japan, (September 26, 2007) - Nissan today started the pre-launch activities in support of the all-new GT-R, the high performance sports car to be revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show on October 24th. Central to the launch of GT-R, which will ultimately go on sale around the world, is a dedicated website that will provide all information on the car, including latest news, specifications and where to buy. The address for the website is www.gtrnissan.com and will be available in six languages: Japanese, English, Spanish, German, French and Italian.

With sales due to start in Japan in December, Nissan is today also confirming the final name of the car. Previous generations of this car were known as the Skyline GT-R; the new name for this car is simply Nissan GT-R in all global markets. Supporting substantial early customer interest in the Nissan GT-R, the company is today making available for customers in Japan some initial details including basic specifications, colors and practical information on placing pre-orders. Prices in Japan for the Nissan GT-R will start from around 7.8 million yen.

In support of the sale of the Nissan GT-R, the company also announced today the establishment of 160 Nissan High Performance Centers in Japan. These centers have been established to provide specialist sales and servicing support for customers of the Nissan GT-R.

retains the Skyline styling whilst looking modern.

dam that well sweet motor

nice

looks like a good car an fast

i'd give my left tezzer for that, or the third one on my ass hoop !

it's been a long time coming (concept/protos) - i'm sure it will have been worth the wait if any of the previous models are anythin to go by

7.8 million yen = £33-34k in GBP for anyone wondering (accordin to google)

price - $70,000 USD / 2 = £35,000 - so much easier lmao

is that ment to be £ or $ on ur final calculation

...£ lol

Its soon going to get a rival from Toyota, they are reviving the Supra!
If i had the cash, i'd be spoilt for choice!

£35k

If I hadnt spent what I have over the years on previous Nissans I could've had one of these

....or even 2 maybe
