Nissan GT-R SpecV unveiled! by Damon Lavrinc on Jan 7th 2009 at 9:16PM After nearly a year of speculation and spy shots, it's official: the Nissan GT-R SpecV has arrived. The limited edition GT-R is a subtle evolution of the super coupe that's set the world on fire after its introduction last year, and Nissan claims that it offers race car-levels of performance in a street-legal vehicle. The body mods consist of a carbon fiber rear spoiler, grille and brake ducts, along with an exclusive Ultimate Black Opal paint job. On the inside, a set of carbon fiber Recaro buckets are fitted up front, while the rear seats have been nixed to save a few pounds. Carbon fiber also adorns the center storage box, instrument panel and replaces the majority of the interior trim. The only substantive engine modification is a new high gear boost controller that increases the amount of compressed oxygen entering the twin-turbo'd 3.8-liter V6 to deliver more torque in mid- to high-range revs. A titanium-coated exhaust and a reworked suspension is fitted underneath, and carbon ceramic brakes hide behind 20-inch NISMO wheels that conspire to reduce unsprung mass and improve braking performance. Sales begin in Japan at seven pre-selected dealers, with pricing set at 15,750,000 yen. There's no word on whether the GT-R SpecV will make the trek across the Pacific, but we're not holding our breath just yet. UPDATE: 30 more images added to the gallery below. Gallery: Nissan GT-R SpecV PRESS RELEASE Nissan Announces New GT-R SpecV Model TOKYO (Jan. 8, 2009) -- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced a new limited-production Nissan GT-R SpecV model, which goes on sale at seven specially selected Nissan dealers throughout Japan on February 2, 2009. The GT-R SpecV is targeted specifically at enthusiast drivers who desire race car-level performance in a street-legal vehicle. NISSAN GT-R SpecV NISSAN GT-R SpecV Developed around the multi-dimensional Nissan GT-R sports car, which was introduced just more than one year ago to universal global acclaim, the new SpecV model builds on the original's "ultimate supercar that anyone can enjoy driving anywhere, at anytime" philosophy - taking it to an entirely new level of "oneness between man and machine." The SpecV model includes unique body, interior and performance equipment and modifications, raising the GT-R's unmatched performance to even higher levels. The GT-R SpecV's new exterior features include a carbon fiber rear spoiler, a carbon fiber grille, and carbon fiber brake ducts. The SpecV is available exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal (RP) body color. Inside, the SpecV's unique two-seat interior (non-SpecV GT-R models also include a two-place rear seat) offers special Recaro carbon fiber bucket seats, while carbon fiber insets embellish the rear center storage box, instrument panel and other trim areas. Performance is enhanced with a new high gear boost control device, which momentarily increases boost of the engine's twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy. Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes that provide powerful stopping performance. The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminum wheels that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) since September 2008. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels, together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip tires, combine to deliver the SpecV's exceptional performance. The SpecV will be sold at the following seven dealer outlets, each of which is staffed by mechanics with special GT-R SpecV training and who are knowledgeable of racing circuit driving.

It is 599 :p http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Manchester-United-Star-Involved-In-Car-Crash-Ferrari-Hit-Barrier-Near-Airport/Article/200901215199587?f=rss

OMG...:eek: Was that a 599?

That really sucks...if you have P4/5 Pinifarina...:cry:

The one I remember was in Season 10 with the Audi R8 vs Carrera 4 (or sth.). Jezza was driving the R8 and when suddenly Hammond came out of a corner with the 911, he said "And that`s probably Hamster with his stupid Beatle". There :

We`fe thinking the same...:thumbsup:;)

For the first time, I`m enjoying being *name* roll`d. :D

Great ones but on third pic, WTF is that in the background...:eek:

^ I don`t know them, sorry. Check their page if they have one. :) LamboGuy, you can start with Maisto or Mondo Motors. ;)

Hum, I should list some : Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX/CCXR Edition, SSC Ultimate Aero, Pagani Zonda F, McLaren F1, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Porsche GT2, Ferrari FXX/Enzo, Ford GT, Jaguar XJ220, Aston Martin DBS, Porsche Carrera GT...and the list keeps going on...:D

Hum, I should watch it then. Thanks, Max. :)

Call of Duty 1 or 2 - as Diablo said, I still prefer them. Maybe not the best graphics but best expirience Battlefield 1942/2 - there are lots of expansions for 1942, you can have a great online game and it has good graphics. :)

I say, AMG are good and stylish, Brbaus are monsters but still, I prefer them AMGs. :) Edit : Mb, SL65 AMG Black Series...:bow:

So, which will you choose?

Love those pics, mate. Already gave you +rep in the welcome thread. :)

Lovely pics, mate. Do you have a site or something with those pics in high-resoultion? :) I would love to have some of them. ;)

Yay, I have Eurosport. When are they showing it? :)

Hey, I guess I won`t be a race driver :lol: But this one gave me hope : - You can't stand anyone telling others how to drive. Of course, you are the best. :p

Hum, guys, I really should have posted it in the first post. Everyone is different and have different taste. Don`t say "OMG, you hate *car name/model*, you`re an idiot...". And redvette77, thanks this time.

Really bad news...I loved that S200 replacement...:(

First piccys, that girl has them big boobs...:eek: Nice makeovers, btw, can you remove some of the clothing...:p

Humm, that`s kind of off-topic for like 10 posts, don`t you think...:p Here`s my entry : http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o429/Koenigsegg_album/Photos/4f3c8275.jpg

That face makes me laugh cause I refer it many things you might be doing...:lol:
