£33 -39k excluding tax in 'J' land ( where Evo 9's are £14-15k including local taxes!)

will be £50+ k here on treasure island you can bet!

[DavidT]

Pretty quick ain't it Thats a full lap time too, you can take 23 off that (his gantry to bridge time) giving a BTG time of 7:15

[lemond]

I bet its going to be easily tweakable too!

[DavidT]

Yes, 480 is big power to start with but a chip and full exhaust, well I dunno, shall we say 560?

Then turbos, fuelling, bigger I/C(s?) 650.


I think I need one of those

[Virdee Autos]

Rumoured to be £55k in the UK as a proper UK model.

I don't think it will be tweakable as much as the previous GT-R's.

Wait for the later versions or Nismo specials!

Certainly an impressive time.

Although costing around 8 times more, the Pagani Zonda F Clubsport has just set the new production car record at the ring @ 7min 27.82sec (this week's Autocar).
