Nissan GT-R specV: First Video

[mans247]

if only Americans could build a car like this

[19ultima88]

Ultimate car in the world

[tonyakabadboii]

If I had 160K I would so buy this just because i love it so much its like an EVO on steroids

[Palestinian1989]

English Translation : Zr1 can kick this junk ass anytime anywhere

[mqatarm1]

i agreed GTR is da BEST !!!

[rokusho7]

ZR1 fanboys are just jealous that a v6 would own their assess.

[CaptainOmar]

This car eats turns!

[Staratino]

I firmly believe that I will own one of these in the near future.

Of course, I've always been a bit of an idiot.

[604Ronnie]

Someone who can spend $106,000 on a car can spend $162,000. Corvettes? they're everywhere. I think I've seen one GT-R since they've been out.

[tokyodrift12345]

If you think 160k for 5hp more is wrong than your probably right, but then you know nothing about engineering. i have heard the v spec did nurburg in 7:18 which is unofficial but that is hella fuckin fast. if they added like 200hp than people would expect it to be faster.

[Pezdetz666]

Truth is that the GT-R's VR38 engine was reportedly tuned by Cosworth (of English F1 racing fame) and initial dyno runs on the engine made around 520 BHP easy. I'm sure they are holding out for an even more godly model, but the majority of the new V-Spec's price is the gigantic Brembo Ceramic brake kit that costs about $50,000. Shame, last thing the car needed was better handling at the limit : )

[BaltimaVQ35]

why would nissan ever source out the building of a v6 to any company? you are retarded and your rumor mills make me laugh. They already had the VQ series and the VHR's in the newer G35. Then they put out the 3.7 so why wud u not think that nissan cud put together a 3.8 attatch two turbos and sell it?

[xj220se]

@tokyodrift12345 7:18 coming from this car? The Spec V? No.. Nissan's already run the Spec V at Nurburgring and they haven't released its lap times, anybody know why? I don't think they made it official yet because it probably didn't break the previous record of the GT-R.. I'm not talking out of the blue here, at Tsukuba circuit the normal version of the GT-R outran the Spec V by a second, both driven by Keiichi Tsuchiya and another by Best Motoring if I'm not mistaken.. =/

[youlance29]

GTR Spec V = $162,000

ZR1= $106,000

[3sem9]

0:56

[john13200242]

That side shot at 0:54 makes me wanna spend $180k on this beast.

[carGT111]

only ferraris are known to have race mode,sport mode and cst mode.

but the gtr v spec

better handling

better 0-300

zr1 is good at the straight to

it goes with the lambos well

but i dont like it

[Towelman20]

The zr1 s biggest strength s are handleing and ride quality on evry day roads and i find it very hard to belive a gt-r could reach 186mph faster than a zr1 show me some evidence about that becuase the zr1 accelerates to 190 in 32sec wich is almost half the time it tkaes the base gt-r to reach 190 in 1 minuteand i am not to sure about the gt-r spec v out handleing a zr1 the zr1 s handleing abillitys are way up to world standards and nissan will only beat the ring record in their dreams

[pheniq]

well zr1 fan boy....the zr1 had a roll cage when it did the laptime round the ring....nissan changed the stock gtr's tyres from bridgestone to dunlop....n it is .3 sec slower having almost 200 bhp less....n the 7 min barrier is already broken...so fanboy....check it on the official Nuremberg website....n before u start rattling on bout the viper.....it had a roll cage and cut slicks...ul get all the info u need including the names of the drivers....

[GTR35Vspec]

Stop comparing Nissan GTR and start looking at other vehicle. Ferrari F430 Scuderia come with no carpet and it is stripe down pretty much like the GTR Spec V is. Ferrari F430 Scuderia also comes with a race mode switch button, pretty much like the one Nissan GTR has and also Ferrari F430 Scuderia has about 13 to 20 more horse power bump than the original F430 and it also cost twice the price of the original Ferrari F430.

[BaltimaVQ35]

gtr35 dont u mean gtr38?lol jk

[Mubble]

I knew there'd be someone on here mentioning the ZR1. Why? The two aren't even comparable. Worst of all, Evo magazine here in the UK (one of the most reputable car publications) gave the ZR1 a mere 3/5. Now let it go, muscle-car fanboys!

[Bolo012]

that 3/5 still gives the buyer more bhp. faster 1/4 mile and faster top speed doesnt matter. on paper and on the track the zr1 wins everytime. Im not saing the gtr spec isnt a great car. it just lacks hp and why would anyone buy this car instead of the regular nissan gtr with a double price tag and only 5 more hp

[Mubble]

I totally agree about the price vs bhp aspect. And even though people say that's not the point of the vspec, I just can't see the point when the normal GTR is so ground breaking in the first place. Peace.

[megdethpl]

ah, maybe if the gtr had the same engine size?? yeah sure its twin turbo, but a 6.5 litre engine? cmon dude,

[rednop44]

I think conceptually the Spec-V is failed.

Think what Porsche, Corvette, Aston Martin and Ferrari would give you if they double the price of their offering... At least more than 5HP and a few cosmetics. That Spec-V badge must be made of a new kind of unearthly metal.

[HBKSkyline]

You see the fact that they are trying to prove is more horsepower does not mean a better car. They used the same car and screwed every supercar again.

[rednop44]

But they doubled the price!?!

I love the GTR- but at $160K I will be looking at Porsche, ZR1, used-Ferrari's & Aston Martins etc.

[kofothree]

Well ceramic brakes are expensive, bro... hahah and someone's gotta pay for all that carbon fiber. The car is wildly popular so consumers are willing to pay $160K for it... you gotta strike while the iron's hot!

[sw1000xg]

From what I have read the Spec V will never be raced on the Nurb! I wonder why?

[kevin8se7en]

It already has and posted a 7:25 lap

[sw1000xg]

I mean an official one the 7:25 was unofficial...

[isiahlilman]

they need to bring two GTR spev's to mount up to a ZR-1 w/o any upgrades. cant wait to see the ZR-1 STAGE 2

[camirocz]

a much superior car than zr1 ,there is no comparison in fit,finish ,technologically.

[Howie262]

Well, thats what happens when The french (Renault) own a japanese car company.

The cars are actualy decent.

Nissan isnt japanees just how Ferarri isnt Itallian anymore.

[doitlive08]

This is another stupid comment. It is Japanese engineered for the most part and the Skylines go back to when Renault didn't own Nissan.

[bigkckrva]

i agree..u beat me to the punch..

[puppetmastr69]

you tigercrap.....the gtr is a twin-turbo v6........just so u know

[SeeMyhondaVTEC]

wish i knew what he was saying lol. But i guess the track vid clips speak for themselves

[tigercrap]

He said, "Why can't any round eyes learn to speak a language other than English! Asians can speak English and asian! Lazy Americans! No wonder your Big 3 are bankrupt...cuz you lazy to learn to communicate in a global economy. Learn the metric system for crying out loud! Your manuf. tolerances will improve and your cars will not fall apart! Smaller cars will also force you couch potatoes to lose some god damn weight...lighter = faster. Turbo 4 cyl is the new V8's...stop living in the 70's!

[Towelman20]

The big 3 are not bankrupt yet their in high risk of bankrupsy but i will doubt they will go bnkrupt that easily and cars with v8 s arent all american theirs alot of american cars with v8 s but not all have v8 engines and theirs alot of european cars with v8 s and look how well engieered they are and turbo 4s are used in sporty hatchbacks and the only crap american cars with v8 s are muscle cars american sports cars and many other cars with v8 s are really good.

[nicecoment]

I am a "round eye" and I speak/read/write Spanish, English and German. Making comment that encompass a whole race shows lack of intellect and education. It's like me saying all Asians have small dicks, and the reason they're so smart is because no one wants to have sex with a small dick man. Also I think Nissan was in trouble a few years ago themselves and have laid off 20% of their world work force. So when making comments please show some type of education...cont

[bigkckrva]

damn nicecoment...i hope u ain't looking at a mans dick now? i don't care what race they are? i perfer keeping my eyes straight and not look down, lol...just checking on u man, hopefully u don't go down that route, theres too many under covers out there,  lol...

[nicecoment]

lol na just trying to prove a point. That tad bit of info was given to me by a Japanese girl I dated back when I was you, good looking, and taller. lol

have a great weekend

[bigkckrva]

yea i came a upon a video..check this site out.."GTR vs Z06 vs C6 vs C5 vs Mustang Shelby" All of them race in Willow Track..

[nicecoment]

Yeah I saw that before it is a pretty good view of what it can do. Now I have to agree with a few points made that we do not knwo the experience of the ZO6 driver and the Shelby shit I can't see how it goes around corners with out flipping its so dam high off the ground(LOL). If it was a plain C5 unless track modded it will not be in the running. Yet good view on what the potential it has. Good showing!

[bigkckrva]

believe it or not? i think the Spec V will obliterate the ACR Viper times at the Ring..

[nicecoment]

For the money I would not expect anything less than a ZR1 time, I mean realistically, if it just ties then I think just personally that the hype was over done, now if it beats it and gets Viper time then I think it was a good showing. Now remember also is it going to be a drop and go or a test and tune and go?

Yet remember Nissan said they are not going to release any data from this run at the ring so I am thinking its a drop and go and then after a test and tune run they'll release the #'s.

[bigkckrva]

the car is going to be straight stock, so don't expect any tuning from Nissan, we just got to wait and see in a few weeks? Nissan is heading to the Ring...

[venomviper32]

the spec v probably will. i remember hearing something about a 7:20 which actually sounds realistic. clearly the viper was losing time again and again with poor gearing setup which spec v dsg will have no problem with. anyways, they said they would release the time in april, and april is running out :)

[bigkckrva]

im sure you'll hear it before the month is over...

Cheif Engineer Muzuno said.."the Spec V is NOT the High-Performance GTR"..basically he has another GTR up his sleeves, but thats a different story..

[venomviper32]

the gt-r lm version is probably gonna be in another league. nissan really seems to have passion (not as fun as the italian kind but still passion) for the skyline icon which has become known as the ultimate sports car from japan. they are offering everything from this 7:27.56 4 seater at a loss up to what looks like an ascari a10 type competitor. near 600 bhp, race aerodynamics, gearbox, and the latest in supercar tech.

[bigkckrva]

I don't think Porsche and other Supercars has an answer for Nissan at the moment...the GTR is like Obama...its gets more attention than the Ferrari's and Lambos at this point..

[venomviper32]

lol the spec v IS only black :) i really hope i dont get chewed out for that but it is youtube so im probably safe :) anyways it does make you wonder what a gt2 would do at the ring if it wasnt done on public run. everyone sees low power, high weight, and low cost and assumes if it does well on a track that automatically it is a better all around car.

[bigkckrva]

well i'll take a black Spec V on any given day, lol..

[bigkckrva]

have u ever see Hennessy GTR? they just release a 800hp kit..man thing is fast and crazy...0-60 (2.6) 1/4 (10.5) without L.C....check the video on youtube...its even faster than the Hennessy ZR-1 (700hp+), LOL...

[doitlive08]

That kind of hp will require a tranny upgrade though. I heard it's not that expensive, $1,500 in parts according to Samurai Speed. PPG from Australia makes the upgrade I believe.

[bigkckrva]

yea..im sure it does..have u seen the "Preston R35 GTR" on the site? that R35 is pretty fast on the drag strip, there was a guy screaming out on the video.."Crappy ASS V6" , lol...than the R35 smoke that modd V8..

[doitlive08]

"Crappy ass v6" yeah right... I was reading an online article about the 800hp Switzer GTR (on pump gas). It was driven by a mag editor on an icy road course, and he described it as "hilariously easy to drive". The GTR can harness hp very efficiently it seems.

[bigkckrva]

check out "National Geographic: Inside Supercar-Nissan GT-R (part 1-5)"

[bigkckrva]

check out "Spec V on GT Channel"..

[nicecoment]

Apparently you have not been outside the U.S. and there are fat lazy people in any race. Not all Americans are fat and lazy. Some of us like V8's and people like you like 4cyl turbos, yet here you have the right to buy,say and feel freely what u want yet if u feel so strongly about how dumb, fat lazy and uneducated Americans are there are flights leaving every day out of this country. Feel free to go anywhere u feel the same rights will be afforded to you as here in the U.S.

[Towelman20]

That is 100% corect the zr1 doesnt have the same brakes as an enzo they use the same brakes from the same company called brembo and most of the gt-r s engineering parts arent japanese

suspension german

brakes Itallian

duel clutch american

[doitlive08]

Yeah, it's very common to outsource parts in something as complex as a car.

Take the Ferrari F40... its turbos were Japanese IHI turbos

However, I think you're wrong that most of the engineering parts aren't Japanese in the GTR. The engine, turbos, and the awd system are all Japanese. The tranny is American though.

[vk45de]

I was wondering why the tranny was the weak link.

[ArranoGris]

I believe the engine is Japanese engineered and, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they hand-made too? ZR-1 is a fine Corvette, but it's a Corvette=flashy and powerful. GT-R is a 4-seater that is 25k cheaper and can almost keep up with that 640hp MONSTER. I wonder, if Nissan had 6.2 liters and a supercharger or turbos to work with, what THEY could turn out...

[Towelman20]

the zr1 gets 604lbft of torque from being supercharged and the zr1 is RWD and doesnt have all the technology the gt-r has And with out the AWD and the launch control the gt-r has. While $70K is a good price for all the performance from their near perfect engineering with technolgical aids the gt-r is abit of a bargin but The gt-r v-spec will cost $170K and that will mean it will no longer be a bargin as its out of the reasonable price range.

[MarksmanODST]

The tranny's american???? NO WONDER IT BREAKS DOWN A LOT!!!

[Towelman20]

I am both comenting the video and kind of responding to a coment.

[Towelman20]

All the technology the gt-r has will no doubt give it a huge advantage in how it performs the gt-r is so incontrol with the AWD providing so much stabillity but it still isnt really light they seem to have trouble with keeping the wieght down this is nissans bigest weakness when it comes to competeing with porsche.

porsche makes the best sports cars in the world and they are the specialists at making track nissan is really starting to agrivate porsche with the nissan gt-r v-spec.

[Towelman20]

Its kind of stupid how they design the gt-r with all the laws of physics breaking technology that makes a big impact on the track and they dont even focus on keeping the wieght down.

Its nearly 2tons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!..

[pavcon]

yeah but with all the technologies comming and adding weight... see airbags abs and blablabla.. nissan will have the advantage...

[Towelman20]

This is what is good about the gt-r.

-AWD

-gearbox/clutch

-suspension

-brakes

-tires

-stabillity

-traction control

[MarksmanODST]

Yes, and it's better than ripping off seats, aircons, airbags, and putting metal rods in your car. IMO

[nimlil]

I love when one car is just a few ticks quicker how some people are like" It got totally owned man" talk about spliting hairs... buy what you like and don't give a rats ass about what other people think cause usually drivers differences acount for way more than the difference between the cars.

[MarksmanODST]

well said.

[Towelman20]

a zr1 would kill this at any track the gtr is a big fat 2ton ugly hunk of metal on wheels its not in the same leuged as a zr1.

iif you think this beats any porsche vette or ferrari then keep dreaming the gtr is not capepable of any manufactor claim of performance exept acceleration.

[steflotti105]

alright then m8 whatever your say.. u should learn to spell before u start chattin shit

[kickwagon]

You must have this mistaken with a grammar test of some sort. Or you didn't have a significant response to his statement. I'll go with the ladder on this one.

[XtremeEvolution2]

zr1's are made by rednecks in kentucky with cheap plastic, so shut your mouth

[kickwagon]

WOW! Instead of just your parents knowing you're retarded, now the world knows it!

[lstulzer]

GTR and zr1 were tested and zr1 whoop that ass.

[steflotti105]

if your talkin about inside line.. then no it doesnt whoop its ass.. but look at the zr1.. massive ferrari brakes.. very little weight.. unnecessarily big engine.. and huge loss of power through the drivetrain which proves its built like shit..

[304teddy]

the ZR1 brakes are made by brembo not ferrari. "unnecessarily big engine"the ZR1s engine is both lighter and more compact than that of the GTR.

[doitlive08]

I think the point is that the brakes aren't American made, which for you seems to be a big deal.

[MarksmanODST]

lol The ZR1's more likely to compete with CGT's, LP640's, Ferrari's.

The GT-R would compete with Z06's, 911's which it whooped.

The GT-R Spec-V would go for the ZR1....

dumbass.

[Aztech355]

I agree 100%

[MarksmanODST]

And I agree that you agree. Agree?

lol

[steve9087]

Spec-V = Godzilla on steriods!!!

[Bader88]

can you buy this Spec-V kit for the Normal GTR R35 ?! or owners must sell and go buy the Spec v again ?!

[Spookyd88]

no you can't if you bought the GT-R already then thats it, its like gettin a z06 kit for a corvette, not gonna happen.

[Bader88]

tru then its not worth the 160K $ really

[Spookyd88]

I think it will be, but it's a wait and see thing really, so we'll have to wait and see, at the end of the day if this car is capable of hittin the number 3,4 or 5 spot around nurburgring it'll technically be worth alot more than that. remember the engines in these things are built by hand by 1 of 8 men in the world allowed to constuct it. this is a supercar for the masses.

[Bader88]

yea but still i think 85K $ is a over kill for a nissan now 160K $ thats just rediculus

Even the ZR1 isnt worth the 110K $ Nothing is worth 100K $ only if its German italian

[eeiko321]

i cant wait till they test this OFFICIALLY on the Nurburgring

and FUCK the ZR1's times

and make Porsche cry, windge and whine even more....

[dickXXL]

it comes first at nurburgring ant then comes the bugati veyron....

[eeiko321]

when did they test it?

officially?

well i wasnt aware of this

have you got any info or links to back up your claim??

[ajeeb302]

GTR RULES !! GAME OVER

[nismo104]

I dont know what he said, but he ment that shyt!!

[m00nkinftw]

This car is gonna scare the shit out of every other car in its price range, or even cars that are twice as expensive

[Divinepoox]

WOAH ON 1:15 Nissan vspec has 4 Mufflers? WOW

[LOLHICRONO]

isn't the current one the same way except 4 tips?

[realcrown]

best car ever made

[6leafdom]

also the ugliest

[cokabida]

are you sure its ugly? have you even seen one in person? how can you say its ugly you moron! maybe your the one who's ugly! ugly!

[6leafdom]

yes i have seen it in person...there is 1 in my school....and it looks like a fucking ufo

[sterlingnobles]

theres 2 and about to be three at my school

[nickaijoy]

so what's good looking for u? some old school grandpa's caddy?

[Spookyd88]

theres one where i work, its not ugly. accept change.

[riflebore]

let us understand how that guy feels. Come to think of it, this car design carries the latest trend. Take a look at the Evo X, the GTR and the Evo X seem to look alike, bulky and "gundam" styled front end. That's the trend today. Let them be, it takes time for OTHER people to ACCEPT whats new. :-)

[6leafdom]

i have nothing against the gtr...amazing performance....just ugly looks....nothing like r32 33 or 34.....so to the r35 owners....dont be surprise when an alien get into ur car....they thought its their own ufo

[eeiko321]

your mothers ugly

[mike1084]

A THING OF FUCKING BEAUTY. An awesome car but honestly I think the R33 and R34 body style was way beefier and meaner looking. I know the R35 is not supposed to be a new or replacement Skyline but I think they should have had more of the Skyline body features on the new R35.I'm sure a bunch of people are going to talk shit about this comment but It's just my opinion thats all.I'm not hating on the R35 at all actually I wish I could afford one LOL

[Smiter10]

i like turtles

[zreiscool]

What the fuck did he just say?!

[Rafiu]

corvette zr1 hold on!!

[CardiffCentral]

Insiders at Porsche were offended at how the GTR obliterated their track times. Now with the SpecV, Porsche are going to have to work even harder =)

[kidz59]

his name is ichro ozawa.

japans next primeminister.

[bandora]

DAMN! Did u see @ 1:05 the brake disks (what ever u call them) was so hot it was red!

[therockerz2006]

Ceramic brakes.

[bandora]

Ya, I know they are Ceramic brakes.. hehe.. But O.o that's some hot ceramic brakes. :P

[therockerz2006]

I said ceramic brakes, coz they get hot when braking :)

[manoman0]

i'm pretty sure the skyline/GT is a much better car than the porsche 911

[damncritics]

that. is a fantastic car. i really like the design.

[mahamza86]

Holy Shit!!

9 secs faster than the old GT-R and 7:20 time!!!!!

Thats a Monster!

[sw1000xg]

where does it say it did 7:20 i need to know...

[GiRRLY01]

i would so love to ride one someday :)

[andrano665]

yea.. beastn'

[t734ry32]

[07SiPOWER]

actually he was saying that he like s tranny's from vegas and that he got std's when he visit sunset blvd back in 07......

[ironchopsticks]

the Japanese guy was saying how he likes to eat sushi off naked women.

[snsh13]

Damn, this thing is a beast....

if the GTR SPEC V

has the difference between a sentra and a sentra se-r spec v.....

it's going to be a killer.

[lasalleoaks]

the real GODzila is finaly here! finaly.

[LuxuryAndExotics]

This is the best from Nissan.

[kubomon17]

oh i love this car
