Reports about the release and pricing of the Nissan GT-R Spec-V have been circulating for months and Nissan HQ has supposedly confirmed the rumors and targeted an on-sale date in Japan in late January or early February.

The GT-R Spec-V is expected to be packing another 100 hp through the use of a new exhaust, more boost and a retuned ECU. Carbon fiber will replace some of the body panels to reduce weight, while new wheels, upgraded brakes and suspension tweaks will round out the mods.

Rumors suggest that Nissan could release the Spec-V at the 12th annual NISMO Festival at Fuji Speedway in Japan later this month. Pricing could be up to 15,000,000 yen - 2,000,000 more than earlier predictions - or around $154,000, more than double the cost of a standard GT-R. If the Spec-V goes on sale in the U.S., expect pricing to be considerably lower.

im guessing this one will have a beefier drive train. Thats the price of reliability hehe.

Hmm...the smarter route would be to buy the regular gtr and do the mods yourself for much less. Thats the case with most "special edition" packages but i guess this way you could have a modded gtr and keep your warranty which is cool. It looks sexy as fuck too.

eh... looks decent.

For 125,000 or so (im guessing that'll be the cost) I'd rather buy 2 porsches. 1 to drive on even days, and one to drive on odd days lol.

ZR1 hands down. If the Spec-V can't hang with it why pay the price.

IntensePower · 11-13-2008, 03:59 PM

I like... I cant afford but I like none the less!

We've only seen the ZR-1 in action. Mark my words, the Vspec WILL outrun the ZR1 on the 'Ring.
