2009 Nissan GT-R

The most anticipated sports car in the U.S.has been revealed and is making its North American debut at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show. For six years the 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R has been the subject of intense rumors and frenzied speculation. It will also be the first time that Nissan has officially imported the GT-R (aka Skyline) into the United States, so the company needs the car to live up to the hype that has been built around it. Nissan will finally bring the Nissan GT-R to the United States as a 2009 model starting in June 2008. The name GT-R (for grand turismo racer) is legendary. So why not built a car around the legend. The Nissan GT-r will be priced around the Low $70,000s but expect to have some pricey options.

The anticipation is also been built around it power but the 3800-pound GT-R is said to be capable of a 3.5-second 0-60 run, an 11.7-second quarter mile and a 193 mph top speed. Some say even faster then the new porsche 911.The GT-R comes with all-wheel drive and an adjustable all-independent suspension. The car has a very muscular front end with a wrapped front bumper painted the same as the body. It almost gives the car a fighter jet look and feel.

• VR-series twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6.
• 480 hp @ 6,800 rpm. 430 lb-ft torque @ 3,200–5,200 rpm.
• Dual overhead camshafts with variable intake-valve timing.
• Cast aluminum cylinder block with high-endurance/low-friction plasma-sprayed bores.
• IHI twin turbochargers, one per cylinder bank.
• Pressurized lubrication system with thermostatically controlled cooling.

The original Nissan Skyline GT-R might have hit the street in 1969, but it wasn't until 1990 that the GT-R legend would be solidified. That was the year the Skyline GT-R was introduced to an utterly stunned Japanese market. Lets also revisit some images of years past cars that where the building blocks for the new Nissan inspiration.

The car is priced to buy and and targeted as the value of super cars. Finally you don't have to spend over $100,000 to have a car of your dreams.
