Omg - r36!

Z-Tune... ?

That'd be cool

Leakage. Lots of carbon, looks like the old model.

Wonder if it’s the mythical Nismo RS model due 7 years ago. Lol.

this is just embarrassing for Nissan.

It's clearly the swansong for the R35 from the leaked pics. I'm still betting on an 800hp version (Nismo RS/Z-Tune) that is 500kg lighter. Turbo S performance for 2/3 the price

The current r35 nismo is already more expensive than a 911 turbo S or a gt3 rs lol, and 1/2 the car of a turbo S.

The money Nissan wants for a nismo gtr is retarded.

[DonJuan]

^ Ah so they will be announcing a return to 2009 pricing too

[bjstare]

Clickbait title if I've ever seen one.

Holy shit, I had no idea. That's comically overpriced. I remember when GTRs were like 100k (or less?)

I think a wise forum member once said:

I don’t judge them for charging that much

I do judge people for paying that much

[nismodrifter]

Not sure how this car is even still relevant. Watching it live on YouTube right now, I see some carbon and new bumpers etc? Okayyyy

Couldn't afford an actual car cover? Classic Nissan

[Darkane]

Disappoint. Many disappoint.

Well, a 2024 model that has a 2008 model engine is pretty comical.

Poor Nissan. They need the criminal Boss back.

[jampack]

I thought it was some kind of all-new GT-R lol. Not even sure why it needs to have some kind of "reveal" if it's really pretty much the same thing. /Sigh Nissan

You're talking about a company that made the Nissan Frontier from 2005 - 2021 with very negligible changes.

[DonJuan]

Wow, that was a waste of time.

Front end looks worse, grill change makes it look like a newer Civic type R.

No Z-Tune/Nismo RS The GTR dies with a whimper instead of a roar... Well, I'll just have to make my own then.

That's the thing. There are 2,000HP examples of this thing in aftermarket and while those are extreme, 1,000 isn't it of reach for an "average buyer".
I don't know why they didn't just make a non-warranty goofy-high HP Demon competitor type of thing as a last hurrah.

[Buster]

Because they only have three engineers, and no designers.

This is what I was visualizing, something like a reversed engineered Alpha 7 or 9 (or partnership) build with the Nismo catalogue thrown at it. Maybe bring back the retro 2009 clause like: If you use the launch control your warranty is void.

Nissan had the ball on a tee and flubbed it. But who knows, maybe this isn't the last? they can bring out retro paint codes like this for at least another 4 years.

https://jalopnik.com/this-is-nissans...lement-5565919 Wow, that is such a Nissan thing to do with their flagship supercar awd altima Didn't know about that clause

[DonJuan]

^ I thought the launch control clause was more well known? The article touches on it a little.

The original '09 was absolutely vicious with the launch control active, and would break stuff after a few launches. The '10(?) models and ECU reprogram, backed off the harshness a lot and launch times suffered. They fixed the problem eventually I think with more powerful versions and upgraded parts, But I haven't driven a GTR the '12 model, and it still didn't feel quite the same as an unprogrammed '09.

I remember hearing about it but chalked it up to usual car guy bs. To me, it illustrates how shoddy of a manufacturer Nissan is to release a 480 hp/434 tq turbo V6 AWD car back then and not factor that in during the design process/testing. You have to expect the buyer is going to be aggressive with a car like that.

What rpm could an 09 be launched at? I thought most cars are programmed to not allow you to rev beyond 4000~ from a stop although awd launches are harder on components due to traction.
