Nissan GT-R spy shots

From Autoblog:

the GT-R will come in three flavors, standard, V-Spec and EVO, so most of these shots may be showing the GT-R EVO trim that ups the car’s aggression by a factor of ten. The translation of the article accompanying these photos tell us that the standard GT-R will start at $57,000 and feature a 480-horsepower version of the VQHRTT. Whether or not the twin-turbo V6 is 3.7L or 3.8L large wasn’t mentioned. The V-Spec GT-R, meanwhile, will start at $67,000, while the top perfroming EVO spec will begin at $94,000 and feature a 530-horsepower version of the VQHRTT engine while shedding 220 lbs. from the car’s overall weight through the use of lighter seats, ceramic rotors and the like.

Someone buy me the EVO. Thanks.

Saw this over on TUAW, and checked out the video. Very slick install in a Subaru WRX, and everything is actually pretty easy. Full details on the install and the components are written up on the guy’s site. Do check it out.

I would so this, but the newer Subaru Legacy GTs have an integrated fascia with the HVAC and radio all nicely sculpted. Great for aesthetics, horrible for hacking.
