Wow seriously??? horsepower is only upped to 520? For a car that is supposed to cost double as much as the current GTR, you'd think you'd be getting more than an extra 40 horses...:thumbsdow

^^ true, but I'm just surprised by how little you get for the price. Seems like you're mostly getting cosmetic changes. The only performance upgrades are the upgraded suspension, 40 horses, brakes and better tires. Seems like they're pulling a Mugen civic. Small improvement, Huge price increase...

The article doesn't mention how much weight has been shaved off... could end up making a pretty big impact.
