Best Car magazine in Japan is showing off a couple of pictures of the upcoming GT-R and reporting some interesting stuff. They claim:

"The standard GTR is expected to start at $57K while the V Spec and EVO Spec will start at $67K and $94K respectivly. Both a 6 speed and an advanced paddle shifting automatic are to be available. The Standard GTR and Spec V will be equiped with a 480HP version of the VQHRTT engine(displacement is either 3.7 or 3.8L as it has not yet been confirmed).

The GTR EVO will receive a 530HP version of the VQHRTT engine as well as being roughly 220lbs lighter then the standard GTR, coming with light weight seats, a larger more aerodynamic rear spoiler, large ceramic brake rotors, and a revised Altessa AWD geared for more track use."

However, I tend to not takes these news and images from Japanese magazines very seriously. They aren't usually very accurate at all. Click on the images for larger picture.

Advanced paddle-shifting automatic? Hope it's not as bad as the one in auto GTTs.

The engine is v6 not straight 6? Straight 6 is more powerful than v6 rite in terms of torque?

Erm...I don't think there is any definite rule which states that a straight 6 has naturally more torque than a V6.

The benefits on a straight 6 is that it is naturally balanced and is simpler than a V configuration 6. The downside is that it is long and that's where the V6 comes in being more compact but has the drawback of being more complex.

Stan,

i have to say i am very pleased with the product and your service. Been using it for almost 1 year now. The car handles extremely well and comfort not much sacrifice.

currently i am using 3KG springs for front and rear. Since i need to carry my baby girl around, need to reset to really soft setting, you know la, Malaysian road so many port holes and road patches. like stock suspension or even softer. is this possible? and how much? Do i need to change spring?

thanks
ian
