Just when you think there’s nothing more to see or read about Nissan’s GT-R super-coupe, images of a mysterious prototype start to crop up on the internet. These latest shots depict a car with several features you won’t find on the standard model and has led many to speculate the car is in fact the upcoming Spec-V model due to hit the streets in 2009.

The new prototype was spotted at Nissan’s test center just outside the Nurburgring and features a number of visual differences from the standard model. These include a new front lip-spoiler with additional cooling vents, a new set of racing-style alloy wheels and a custom brake package – possibly with new carbon-ceramic discs.

 

DJ where are the pics??????????????

 

updated sir!

 

Thank you

 

Thanks for the pics, DJ! I'd definitely line-up for that!

 

JABER!!! This is your car! Do you have room for one more in your stable?

 

:rofl: there is always room for cars like this


Let us see what happens and I am very interested in the specs as well. I can only imagine a V spec with a JUN touch

 

19" wheels, composite brakes, and cf aero bits are all well and good but let's see what the power and weight become. if it loses 200kg, power is upped to 530, and it get's a manual tranny this will be a very special car indeed.

 

wow 2010 in effect and 09 is just barely out

 

Can you believe this!

The prototype Nissan GT-R V-Spec, wearing the "Victory Specification" designation reserved for the ultra high-performance Nissan GT-R, has been caught lapping the famed Nürburgring at an incredible, if not simply unbelievable, 7:25 per lap. This, according to bystanders trackside. (For comparison, Walter Röhrl lapped the Ring in 7:28 while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in 2004.)
In contrast to the standard Nissan GT-R, that made the run around the 'Ring in 7:38, the GT-R V-Spec has a new front splitter, modified rear spoiler, and different wheels. A more extensive use of carbon fiber has reportedly reduced the weight by upwards of 330 pounds. Of course, Nissan engineers also tweaked the twin-turbo powerplant for another 70 horses... or so.




This is unreal.
