Nissan GT-R Proto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nissan GT-R Proto was a concept car first unveiled by Nissan at the 2001Tokyo Motor Show. Since then, it had been redesigned, and a newer version made its debut at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. The GT-R is the first to be released since the demise of the Skyline GT-R. The exact specifications are unknown, it is highly probable that the vehicle will have a twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter V6 that produces 480 horsepower and drives all four wheels through a seven-speed sequential gearbox. Also, Nissan claims that the production vehicle will be 80-90% similar to the GT-R Proto. They said that most of the changes for the final production model would be to the front, such as replacing the carbon fiber and possibly the headlights as well.
Nissan plans for the release of the car in late 2007 in Japan and Spring 2008 for North America.
