I think it definitely grows on you. I was unsure of the front end, but love it now!

Also I don't know if thats the vid, but theres a launch control on the car, which Nissan haven't publicised. One of the journo's/companies found it. When in place it does a 0-60 time of 3.3secs!

Awesome car TBH. Performance and handling to beat a 997 Turbo and half the price...nice.

They have been developing this car for God knows how many years, from memory at least five that I know of - the development bill must be f-in huge!

Not a fan of HP Jap machines but this one is a technical tour de force and has to be on the drive before you die list IMHO. :thumbs:

I'd buy one if it was 35k Pounds and not 55-65 like Nissan GB robbers will want to charge... Oh hang on... 35k for a car... no Feck that I'm a Yorkie!

Very good at what they do, but is that not the reason not to go for them? Aston's etc are in the garage all the time, would I have one....? Definately, I'd chew my right arm off for one, it has character, soul and does go wrong from time to time....personality it is called.
So??? RS4 is European... which puts it with... Trabant? Lada? Zastava????

I bet Nissan quality is better than Audi now.... unless they use Renault bits

Aston Martin ... now is that still a Ford... mind you Ford now make quality cars!

911 Turbo is 60ish K GBP in the USA if you convert the Dollars.... still that GTR is only 35k in 'The land of the Free' (OK at least 'The land of the cheap'

Yeah. Might have to think about a GT-R instead of something else when I'm over there.
