SPY IMAGES: New Nissan GT-R

At last year's Tokyo Motor Show Nissan had a concept car on display.  Now here are latest photos of the production version revealing  the 2008 GT-R , Nissan's answer to Porsche's 911 Turbo.

The next generation Nissan GT-R  is scheduled for release at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, and it will be the first of Nissan's super sportscars to come on the US market as well.  It will be powered by a brand new 3.7 litre twin-turbo V6 engine producing about 450 HP.  Also built for speed are the next-generation ATTESA ET-S 4 WD, and some very state-of-the-art 20-inch tires.  According to rumours, the new GT-R will also be available with a seven-speed paddle-shifted gearbox.

Not to forget - the GT-R has another major advantage in the battle against Porsche.  When it lands in the showrooms it will be available for tens and thousands of dollars less than a Porsche Turbo.

The photos are showing three computer generated images of the new GT-R.
