Heard about this while browsing the M3 forums. Honestly I think Nissan must be looking for some suckers.

why buy a car you cant race?

hmmm no updated transmission, only 132 lbs shaved?

suckers indeed...

 

Just don't use the brakes too much......wow!

 

Suspension, with Bilstein Damptronic struts, is set up to be ultra-stiff, to racing spec, and the SpecV also introduces Nissan's first carbon-ceramic brakes for production. These massive brakes, co-developed with Brembo, save 11 pounds per wheel and generate titanic stopping force (up to 2.0 G at the Nürburgring) but cost more than $50,000 to overhaul.

 

I doubt you'd ever need to change them though.

 

That car is pointless. If you need the performance then buy a real race car, if you need a street car there are far better options for the money, not to mention that their target audience isn't even old enough to drive much less afford a 170k Datsun. I bet it's a flop.

 

Pessimist go!

 

So for an extra 70k you get rims, brakes, some interior and exterior carbon fiber, no rear seats, and a device that gives you 15 more ft lbs of torque but takes 80 seconds to engage? This car is awesome.

On a side note are those Volk TE37s?

 

yeah, hell of a deal

 

HAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHA

Where are the nissan nutriders?

It's still slower than the zr-1 and now costs a lot more.

Go Nissan. (Yet to be approved by the US)
