The GT-R coupe will replacement the high-performance Skyline GT-R and is scheduled to go on sale in 2007.However, the details of the beefy GT-R’s mechanical specification and the design of its interior remain continues to be the subject of speculation. Current thinking is that more than one version of the car will be offered: An entry-level rear-driver with around 350bhp, and this, the V-spec. Benchmark-testing against a Porsche 911 Turbo, lends weight to the speculation that the GT-R V-spec’s twin-turbo V6, which has been developed with the help of Cosworth and probably 3.8 litres in capacity – will produce around 470bhp and that the car's chassis will employ an evolution of the ATTESA four-wheel-drive system from the R34 Skyline.
Although it will offer 911 Turbo-matching power, the GT-R V-spec is expected to be priced closer to a regular Carrera, at around £60K, when it comes to the UK in 2008.
