Nissan GTR V spec leaked specs
I searched the site and I found nothing.
http://img.worldcarfans.com/US/2008/...129.028.1M.jpg Hopefully the power is a little more as the news was posted January of this year |
It is posted right there: 520hp @6500rpm

In the case of the V-spec, I would prefer they put the most effort into weight-reduction.

Road and Track is reporting: 2 seater, 520 hp @ 6500 rpm, 440 lb.-ft., 3615 lbs, $130,000 MSRP, early 2009. Of course, I'll take this with a grain of salt; just thought the weight-reduction would be a bit more.

vSpec pricing and power figures?
from leftlane:
do you guys agree with this? i'd see that level of advertized HP being reasonable, the regular is underestimated and probably more like that 520, so the vspec hopefully is high 50's, I wonder what the increase in peak boost pressure is? that might tell more than nissan's numbers The 2009 Nissan GT-R is already a performance phenomenon, getting favorable reviews in comparison tests against cars such as the Porsche 911 Turbo, which costs more than twice the GT-R’s near $70,000 cost of admission. Now, some details on an even faster version of the car, the Spec V, have been leaked, adding to earlier reports. In a similar vein to the high-performance offerings from Porsche, the GT3 and GT2 included, the Spec V will forego its rear seats, becoming a strict two-seater. It will also lose 200 pounds of weight, now tipping the scales at about 3,615 lbs, according to Road & Track magazine. The Spec V’s 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine also promises to offer a boost in power, but lower than expected, considering the premium buyers will have to pay. With 520 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, the new output represents only a 40-point improvement. Torque is pegged at 440 pound-feet, only a 10 lb-ft increase. Still, the media estimates the engine must put out more than its claimed power thanks to the impressive acceleration numbers the car is capable of producing, and the Spec V’s performance should also belie its specs. One such performance involves the lap time at Germany’s famous Nurburgring Nordschleife race track, where the Spec V is believed to have set a sub 7-minute, 25-second time, besting Porsche’s lighter and more powerful GT2. R&T estimates the car will start selling the U.S. early in 2009, with prices in the $130,000 range and even more limited numbers than the standard GT-R. Part of the huge price increase has to do with the car’s pricey carbon ceramic brakes, housed by new six-spoke wheels. Prototypes have been spotted with a revised front splitter, which sports some additional air intake slits, presumably to feed more cooling to the brakes. Spy photos from earlier this year show the Spec-V will use ultra-thin carbon fiber seats wrapped in a layer of leather, all finished off handsomely with some bright red stitching. The car will be officially unveiled to the public at the Paris Motor Show this October. link to original |

In its limited quantity, I'm sure Nissan will have no trouble selling all of it. Though I am highly skeptical of their estimated "early 2009" availability date here in the US. Most manufacturer usually don't introduce a performance version so quick. I do however, like the revised front bumper with the additional inlets quite a bit. |
I think it may be 130K if they use a lot of carbon fibre.

I think it may be 130K if they use a lot of carbon fibre. and those brakes are very pricey |
