I just lol'd.124 grand and you save 60kg in weight

I can just see a line of mugs waiting to buy this...

Now that's silly money considering how cheap a gt-r is.

 

[Ian_182]

GTR standard is around 60k so on that basis this costs £1000 per kilo of weight saved

Expensive diet...

 

[Gally]

Angle grinders are what these days, £20.

 

[Ian_182]

Or just take the seats out

 

[Gally]

Do they have 2 dicky seats in the back?

 

[Ian_182]

Im sure thats what they have removed

Not saying its worth it, but you get a lot more than 60kg weight loss....

The SpecV also gets a carbon-ceramic brake set-up jointly developed with Brembo, plus revised springs and fixed rate dampers, and a titanium exhaust.

Lightweight forged alloy NISMO wheels help reduce weight, together with a carbon rear spoiler, carbon grille and carbon brake ducts. Altogether, 60kgs has been shaved off the kerb weight.

Inside, the SpecV is offered uniquely as a two-seater (non-SpecV GT-R models also include a two-place rear seat) with bespoke Recaro carbon fibre bucket seats trimmed in black leather, while carbon fibre is also used for the speaker surrounds, instrument panel and other trim areas

Lol, wasn't this announced and reviewed in evo 6 months ago? Pads and discs are something ridiculous like 24k to replace.

 

[Ian_182]

The power is also the same,but boost is delivered differently to make it quicker through the gears...

I don't see the problem with the price.

Just look at the LF-A, over £300k. The reality is the standard car is a bargain, despite being as good as a 911 Turbo (£100k+).

This car isn't new.

I sort of agree,but the lf-a is a whole new car.

Would people have bought a 172 cup if it was twice the price is what i mean

 

[Josh220]

Undoubtably the GTR is a lot of car for the money but I'm not sure that justifies the leap in price for this version. Double the price???

 

[Gaz.]

I'd rather buy a standard one and throw the other £60K odd at a Tuner to tinker with it TBH.

 

[ForceIndia]

Looking at the price difference for what you get, it's overpriced. Especially for a car that seems to have so many issues!

 

[Ian_182]

Yeh dont crash at anything over 9mph or the bonet catch thingy goes into some safety mode and costs 11k to fix...

 

[Daniel]

Just looks like any other skyline to me.

 

[Marky_]

£124k for a Datsun!

 

[pritchard182]

nice but expencive
