JAPAN's OWN SUPER CAR
The 2009 Nissan GT-R is this Japanese automaker's new flagship sports car. Long known as the Skyline GT-R in Japan, the 2009 GT-R marks the first time this 2-door coupe will be offered for sale outside Nissan's home market. GT-R is Nissan's most powerful vehicle with a turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 480 hp. The engine teams with a 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel shift paddles for manual operation. All-wheel drive is standard as are a sport suspension and 20-inch wheels with run-flat tires. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Available features include a navigation system, a hard drive for storing digital music files, and a wireless cell phone link. We have not yet tested the 2009 Nissan GT-R.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker. Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options. The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

Looking at the 2009 Nissan GT-R the song “Going The Distance” by Cake comes to mind.
This firebreathing 473 horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 all-wheel drive monster will make make you scream whilst screaming itself. An appropriate car for the upcoming Hallow’s Eve indeed.
Arriving this coming Spring stateside, the 2009 Nissan GT-R will set a new performance bar for mere mortals that only once attained by those carrying American Express Black cards. Running from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds (the time it took you to read the former part of this sentence) the car will slam past the quarter-mile at 193 mph 11.7 seconds later and take on Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche 911 Turbo owners. The difference being you’ve paid less than a third of what they did thereby justifying a massive grin and a middle finger. Oh yes lads, the GT-R (rather, what we over here on this side of the Atlantic like to call, the Skyline) will come in approximately $80,000. A year’s salary well spent.
What this means to you: Something sinister stateside comes.
Cost: ~$80,000 @ Nissan
