I just love it when people making these vids try ot do the slow motion beauty shots on fugly cars like this. That thing looks hideous!

I love the stars on the windshield of the chase car, they rule! (j/k)

Oh and read the comments typical ricer like this:

the GTR might not be as powerful as the ZO6 engine wise however it has intelligent technology

WTF does that mean, "It's slow but it's smart while doing it and shows you graphs of how much you got your ass handed to you by a vette."

I'd probably be just a TINY BIT nicer if it wasn't $80k!!! A couple turbos, a big brake kit, "Dude your getting a Dell!" in the dashboard, and a body kit on a 350z is that really worth 80k?

[ImpalaSlayer]

ugly as balls but pretty neat

[Breadfan]

Trans sounds like a manual with a paddle auto-clutch, not a manualized-slushbox. I still kinda prefer true manuals but for competition driving paddles will get you around a bit faster...

[Raudermaster]

lol, you guys dogging the GTR. It IS the most technologically advanced vehicle out there in this world (besides the Veyron maybe), and yes, while the body lines aren't the greatest compared to the R34, this is still one hell of a powerful car with PLENTY more potential to be had. And yes, it is realistically an auto with the the paddle shifts and no clutch, but had "R" mode if you want to get down and dirty.

I still think our Marauder still looks better...$80,000.00??? I can think of many better places that amount of money can go, but if it was play money and had many more left I'd rather put it in the Marauder!

[Peace2Peep]

Hmmm....$80,000 in marauder upgrades = nice marauder

$80,000 in GT-R = $80,000 nice sports car

I love my marauder but the GT-R is in a whole different class...not even apples and oranges...more like apples and pecans!

I would drive a GT-R over a marauder any day of the week, if it was given to me!

A corvette is nice too!

PS oh! The only corvette that will beat a GT-R with a decent driver is the $100K+ ZR1 Check your stats.

I'm pretty happy with my DTR MM even though I've only started modding it, but that car is capable of handing their lunch to darn near every super car or exotic car out there except maybe the Veyron.The sob is butt fugly but it hauls zas.
$80K if you've got it ain't that much for a car that'll walk all over cars that cost 2-3 times as much.Like it or not,it's quick as he!! and corners like a tether car,plus as was stated earlier it carries extremely advanced technology.A few production cars will be able to take it in a top end run,but VERY FEW will be able to out accelerate or out corner it,on the street or on the track.The new ZR1 Vette is going to run over $100K,the Ford GT's probably sold for close to $200K with dealer profit grabbing,I don't know what a Ferrari or Turbo Porsche costs but I'm sure they make this a bargain.
My son is going to wait a couple years and pick up a clean low mile one out in Silicone Valley by him and let someone else take the whack on depreciation on it.He'll probably get rid of his Audi S4 then and keep his Honda S2K for an errand car.
Will I ever buy one,no,but when he gets his I'll take it out for a couple of days and play with it on Skyline Blvd in the Berkley hills and see how it compares to the Pantera I had in 1973 and let him take me for a ride to show me exactly what it'll do so I can load my shorts.
If I had the money I'd buy a Bentley Brooklands and keep the Marauder for a daily driver.
You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Having owned a Nissan product before, I wonder if it's comes with a spare engine. They seem to only be good for about 50,000 miles.....

It's been over 10 years since I owned my Nissan and I still hate the company because of that car

[crabby125]

The car looks like a 350z that went on a shopping spree at the first 2 isles of Pepboys.

It might be fast, and handle like a dream, but Id still rather have something with more style. It just screams out "RICE"

[OneBADLsE]

Now THATS a machine!


Oh - PS....its a worked AWD G37. Really. Thats all it is. Im my truly honest opinion, its worth the extra 25k over a loaded G37. Infinity however will always retain a sexier look...cant win'em all i suppose!

Perhaps it is, but what good is all the James Bond stuff if the car is so ugly it's embarrassing to be seen in?

[SID210SA]

I am prolly mistaken but I believe the chase car is an Acura NSX

[ctrlraven]

This is only the GT-R model, wait till the GT-R V-spec model comes out.

The NSX, now THERE's a nice looking car. I would rather have a worked NSX than the GT-R.
